I kinda went on a little research spree on economics this afternoon but at one point I figured it's probably good to know if it's possible for, say, at least 98% of people on earth to live a happy fulfilled life at all.

I know there's plenty of people who'd be more than happy to have literally nothing more than a house, food and water, but that still leaves a whole lot of people who want other things in life.

Do we have any metrics or data on wether the earth can sustain roughly 8 billion humans?

Back in the day, people could take tubes from their TVs and radios to a shop, test them, and buy replacement parts.

Did you learn that from me? I posted it a few weeks ago:

    Sorry, but no.

    It was a super common thing; plenty of places had them. Talk to any CRT or old radio enthusiast, or anyone over 55, and they'll tell you about it.
