You could double everything in this post too and that’s only 60% consumption.

In what world do the people writing this live? Have they never lived in an apartment building with shared laundry? The machines are never kept clean because people are fucking animals.
What a stupidly naive study lmao.

Apart from power, washing bottoms, and laptops that is pretty close to what many people I know have. That certainly doesn’t seem outlandish.
Now who’s going to help with the wealth redistribution and logistics? I volunteer for helping with logistics. Anyone with pew pew experience want to try the wealth redistribution?

They live in a world where 700 million people are currently starving. Do you think you care about the washing machines if your children have nothing to eat?

That's the heart of the issue, though, isn't it? Most people do care about the state of their washing machines even as countless children have nothing to eat. People chastise their kids for not eating their vegetables by saying "kids are starving in Africa," without doing anything to help any kids in Africa. People want more for themselves even while acknowledging that others have so much less. Studies like this assume that human selfishness is negligible, while it's actually one of the largest variables that needs to be factored in. Most people don't actually care about human suffering unless it's happening to someone they personally know - they care much more about their washing machine.

The state of my washing machine doesn’t have to change if we just tax billionaires.
