As long as people want things they don't have, there will always be scarcity.

I'll believe the Post Scarcity Economy only when I see it.

From the second sentence of the article

>Post-scarcity does not mean that scarcity has been eliminated for all goods and services, but that all people can easily have their basic survival needs met along with some significant proportion of their desires for goods and services

Do you buy as much milk as you can afford? Most food is way beyond scarcity at this point.

No, but I buy more ribeye steaks and restaurant meals than I need.

I'm of course way beyond fearing starvation, but there is still no real upper limit to my food expenses.
