Not easily, I'll admit. We've been working for so long at dealing with scarcity that when presented with abundance we don't know what to do.

I'm at least glad that people are at least starting to understand that our economic system while better than it's predecessors by a mile, should be improved.

This kind of question is better answered piecemeal, like how do we get the homeless into one of the 4-5 empty homes per homeless person, or how do we avoid throwing away 40+% of the food we grow? Correcting horrific market failures like this is a wonderful way to start.
