There is no generation war. There is a class war though, and this guy is not on our side.

Ancient people used lead dishware for millenia. I honestly don’t think any modern lead poisoning is new or worse than it has been in most of the world. Id buy it if lead poisoning for the common person was more likely now, but there is no chance it is more severe with all of the regulations most of the world has today.

Yes, perhaps global food scarcity is less manufactured than I made it out to be. I agree with that solution, too. But the fact that people in the “richest” country in the world are dying of hunger is downright despicable, and there is no doubt that it is manufactured here in the US. We have the food and the owning class lets it rot so they can have cheaper servants.

From what I’ve come to understand, local governments are your friend. It’s the corporations running a train on them that messes up money allocation! Not to mention investors coming in and buying up swathes of land and using all of the public water for their alfalfa in the desert

I am not an expert in any relevant field, but I have thoughts. I’d love to be told I was wrong by experts.

1. Are governments actually in more disarray today than in previous periods of history? Or do they just seem that way due to the media sensationalizing the bad? Do we just not hear about wins around the world due to their inability to generate clicks and therefore conclude that the world is only horrible? I posit that we tend to overestimate the bad when compared to the good.

2. Again, not an expert, but have the richest had this much influence across history? We have never been so reliant on the goods owned by huge corporations? We (humanity) grow so much food, but let people go hungry to keep the cost of food high, because the bean counters determined it more profitable. In a post-scarcity society, we shouldn’t need to work 3 jobs or skip insulin. Scarcity is artificially baked into the economy so that the rich can exploit our labor. Late stage capitalism, basically.

You want to know what’s unethical? Planning and allowing someone close enough to receive an inheritance wait for you to die before you provide them housing. Hopefully I am off base here, but it sounds like they could set you up with this situation now.

It sounds pretty shitty for a landlord to charge enough to support the remainder of their life with the rental of only half of a house, and it sounds like that is the intended plan for you. Just don’t charge so much as to be taking advantage of those without the privilege of inheritance, and you may even be providing value to the renters, as other comments have suggested. Feel good about that.

Based on your username, I can only assume you are well versed in the topic. It’s from the magic of gamma rays.

I’m not new on the internet, or on forum style websites. You need to stop deflecting and examine your own thoughts and feelings or you are just going to be angry at everyone forever.

If you are constantly having your comments removed and other comments that you think are comparably bad are not being removed, leave that instance. If you are seeing it everywhere, then leave Lemmy.

You know what they say about someone who smells shit everywhere they go. If you have to ban evade on reddit and Lemmy, you just might be the problem. I opened your profile. The first and last thing I read was a suggestion that someone you were speaking to should be killed. Introspect.

Yes, the Democratic party is against the working class. Yes, the Republican party is much, much, much worse. Yes, you have been out of the loop if you need examples.

I attempted to clarify that I understood that the income of the employee is not part of the profit

25% is a terrible deal and that was my point

Wait so are employees lucky if they get 25% of the money they earn their employer beyond their cost to the employer?

That is, if I cost 100k including benefits and support staff costs and my work directly generates 200k profit over all costs, does that mean that the business should pass 50k to me and take the remaining 150k in order to follow the quick rule?

The zeitgeist with DND druids has always bored me. I play them exclusively evil, as I am finding out just as I think about it now.

There is a middle finger of vecna druid archetype that allows for unique shapeshifts into an abomination. It’s a lot of fun to play and the shapeshift options are very versatile and adjustable each shift. I role played a LE human who sook out expediting the heat death of the universe for the Eldritch pantheon. I joined the party as they were already doing a good job leading to the destruction of society. It was all for the purity of nature, of course.

Another I played was a spore druid who was basically Shaggy from Scooby Doo, but evil. The archetype I used was absolutely awful but it came with lots of good stories as I got incredibly high irl to play the character. I conspired with the DM against the party for the glory of Strahd for an entire year of play, and then abandoned the vampire lord when the party started winning the final fight. Convincing the party irl (who was none the wiser but absolutely hated my character) that Strahd was just trying to get in their heads to split the party will probably be my favorite memory of DND for all time.
