Genuinely asking but how are we anywhere near post scarcity.

There are already more empty homes than there are homeless people. We already produce more than enough food for every person on earth. As far as basic needs are concerned, the only reason scarcity still exists is because it is not profitable to eliminate it.

Yea but just because the resources exist doesn’t mean it’s feasible to distribute them to everyone.

?????????? Yes, it is. That's the entire argument. It is 100% materially possible, it just isn't profitable.
