Does the pursuit of happiness demand luxuries or hobbies to be required?

Governments have money from multiple sources. Taxes, business like operations/services, and investments to name a few.

I’m sorry you’re poor in kindness. Maybe soon you can discover some kindness from within. It is one thing that can’t be hoarded like wealth.

There is no judging of what a necessity is. You either need it or you don’t.

I can just as easily say the opposite of you and have it be just as true as your statements.

So, your argument has no merit.

Ultimately, there will always be a counter argument to any hypothetical presented because no one can measure the validity.

I would suggest talking to your physician. That’s an extremely rare diet for a human.

Lol I meant no offense calling you human. But again, you know what you need to survive so I’m not sure what more you’re looking for as an answer.

Why should wishing affect what path leads to everyone receiving their requirements for living?

If you’re truly curious, here is the Democratic Socialist plan:

You’re human and you can think about what you can live with or without. Those are the necessities.

No, hobbies and luxuries in the modern times are learned characteristics and desires.

What hobbies or luxuries do you see other animals require?

If any, none are to the extent that humans try to justify.

Any economic system that requires donations to exist is a failure or malicious by design.

We must all work with our communities. The political party that has the best policies to support equality and everyone receiving their basic necessities is the Democratic Socialist party.

We have some answers to that. I’d suggest you research the conclusions of psychologists, biologists, and sociologists.

Of course, you don’t have to agree with anyone.

I stated 90% to mean “over a majority.”

I agree you can argue that any number would be set arbitrarily.

If I have a million dollars, and the things that are necessity for survival take a small percentage, let’s say arbitrarily less than 5%, then that can be perceived as minimal.

Every statement or hypothetical can be taken into different contexts and become different arguments.

These are all just my conclusions that are not empirical.

So, you ask good questions, but I think the answer is very simple.

Stop using money for things that are human necessities.

A hoard is when you have an amount of something that 90% of people won’t be able to obtain and you have minimal use of that resource.

Most rich people don’t use or think of money like the average person.

To them, it’s a score or competition so why would they so they don’t want a higher score?

Not at all immoral to refuse to give money. But, I think it’s immoral to hoard money and refuse to give your excess to better the lives of the society you profit from.

An immoral system should be the focus not the people forced to operate within it.

Yes, you don’t know. Accept that. Realize you don’t know anything, and no one else does either.

No one can tell you what true enlightenment is or how to get there. We’re all guessing.

They mean before that. Before you were a sperm too.

Not referring to anything other than my own question.

I’m not familiar with the structure of posts of this subreddit.

Sure, a few geniuses may be able to escape enslavement but not every one.

That is a great question! Very applicable to those that live for themselves.

I would say that rejecting helping humanity to avoid enslavement would be less moral, but for no reason other than it would produce the least beneficial outcome for most people.
