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

  • 20 m² of personal living space + 20 m² for every 2 ppl as bathroom / kitchen
  • 4200 kcal/day
  • 2800 kWh/year, but this already includes public services (education/healthcare)
  • 1 washing machine per 10 ppl
  • 2.4 kg clothing / 6 months
  • wear tops for 1.5 days and bottoms for 7.5 days without washing
  • 1 laptop per 2 people with a yearly power consumption of 62 kWh. (bizzarely they talk about an 800 MHz computer and seem to confuse HDD and RAM). If your gaming computer used 400 W you could use it for 300 hr/year.

That seems a lot more reasonable to me and we still come in under carrying capacity

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?

You could probably chop 1000 calories and handwash your bottoms more often
