Exposing Artificial Scarcity: The Hustle Culture Scam
Resources are abundant for everyone. Yet artificial scarcity pushes us into endless competition. Take land. Antarctica is off limits to ordinary people while vast areas elsewhere lie unused. Lagos hosts most factories and offices, driving land prices up. I served as a corper in Ekiti and schooled in Delta. I know there’s empty land. Money is also abundant. In a fair system, we wouldn’t chase paper. Yet we are told cash is scarce so we rush to earn. When the government borrows, insiders benefit and inflation hits us. I saw this play out with every loan. We accept scarcity as truth. But what if we questioned it? Could better transport spread jobs beyond Lagos? Could contentment reshape our economy? It’s time to rethink the hustle.
