Reddit user questions "resource allocation" concept, drawing parallels between RAM and wealth

The user questions how consumers can interact with modern operating systems without sufficient RAM on their devices. Furthermore, they draw a parallel between personal RAM and individual wealth exceeding $1 billion, suggesting that such extreme wealth accumulation might also be considered a misallocation of resources, as it offers diminishing returns for personal quality of life.
