Again- a limited labor pool means a limited number of the drug that can be developed. That means that only a limited amount can be distributed, which might not be enough to provide it for everyone who needs it.
It’s obvious that we see labor differently. I don’t consider labor to be a commodity, and therefore I don’t think any of the concerns you raised about labor shortages are something worth worrying about.
Actually, I can. Because I did. On a fundamental level, we disagree about what labor is. Labor is not a commodity. It’s treated like a commodity within capitalism, but it’s plain and simply not a commodity.
Let’s imagine I had 100 rocks. For some reason I have to move them in order to feed everyone.
If I have one person I can move one rock a day.
With two people I can move two rocks.
And so on and so forth.
There is a labor demand - the need to move rocks.
And a labor supply - the number of people you have available to move rocks.
You can’t mind game your way out of that. Call it a commodity or not, you still need X people to do Y tasks and the discrepancy between the tasks and the people you have to do them is a measure and very real thing.
You mean people who sleep on mats on a dirt floor? Sure. Some of us want to lessen our back pain. You do you.

Come on now, indigenous people exist in the 21st century and have modern amenities. They just also keep their indigenous economies.
And they get those modern amenities how?
How does that matter in the context of fairly distributing goods in a modernized indigenous economy?
Again- a limited labor pool means a limited number of the drug that can be developed. That means that only a limited amount can be distributed, which might not be enough to provide it for everyone who needs it.
Why are you making me repeat myself?

You can’t “I don’t see labor as a commodity” your way out of scarcity. That’s just hilariously absurd.
Literally head in the sand sort of thinking.

Arrogance that knows no bounds.
