So are deserts ... neither of which are especially relevant to whether or not the parts that produce most of the fish are being over taxed beyond replenishment rates or not.
This casual "the world has infinite resources to sustain unlimited human growth" is a bit 19th century and hasn't dated well.
Name a century without contrary characters and governments.
'LoL' and 'But Wat About' aren't considered responses.
Ocean resources are being depleted - it's simple enough to look up over fishing and a variety of reports on this from about the planet, not just direct overharvesting of fish, also reef destruction and other side effects from net dragging and industry that drive numbers down.
Maybe not in the US, or in your bubble, but a lot of people still use FB to connect with friends and family, or their groups of interest. Many more use it for the marketplace, to sell and buy things. For them FB is an indispensable venue.
As for helping divide society/ politics, have you paid attention to HN front page the last few days? Wave and wave of OpenAI posts, with huge amount of ignorant, uninformed, speculative, conspiracy driven, repetitive, divisive comments that got endlessly upvoted and promoted. That reflects who the HN audience is and what we are interested in. You may say that HN also helps divide society/politics. Yet you, and I, are still here.
At least in Germany you get a Smartphone for way less than 100€ and a call + SMS + 4GB data flat for 5€.
If that is luxury what is going to the cinema for 20€ (movie and popcorn) for 2 hours?
I never bought a smartphone for myself, but I've seen 100 EUR smarthpones, and what you get is just a toy (unless you want to do your banking or login to e-mail on a Linux device with severely outdated kernel and no OS updates, which can't go for a few minutes without phoning home, wherever that is)
More expensive ones are not significantly better, either, unless you pick a brand known for keeping up with security updates.
Although I do not live there, I have a SIM card from Italy (Fastweb) which for 6€ lets me have 50GB Internet (of which 6GB could be roaming in the rest of Europe), 100 sms and unlimited calls.
Recently moved and didn't have internet service setup yet. I got an unlimited data bundle from them for £17 for 30 days. Felt like a pretty good deal, and it didn't get throttled at all. Latency was a slight issue with zoom calls though.
You don't get that consistently. You can go to check24.de and get their sim.de offer for 5gb data and sms/telephone flat, but that's a limited time deal. So technically yes, but in general you are more in the 8-10€ ballpark for this kind of offering.
We have enough fossil fuels to change our climate, destroy the soil with too much fertilizer and build fishing trawlers until the oceans are empty.
