Scarcity of resources is being reported in various contexts, including job scarcity among teens in northern michigan and scarcity of helium-3 for cooling quantum computers. Additionally, there are reports of energy scarcity and heat-related issues, such as heat inequality and difficulty keeping crops and animals hydrated. The relationship between these scarcity issues and the concept of "coolness" is not entirely clear, but they all appear to be related to limited access to resources.
