Lazy people in houses doing drugs and drinking...

Correct. I did not locate a source for their expenses or profit margin. If someone can provide, I would be happy to update.

In 2022, Discord had a revenue of $445 million. Maybe if they were a private company that would be enough.

It is not a choice when there are no alternatives.

A number of additional morals can be pulled as well. A few quick ones:

Decisions about what careers others should do won't provide motivation.

Social safety nets need to be stronger so polluting industries can be shutdown without negativity impacting the workers.

Which "for"?

Bounty hunters searching for Catholic priests.

I bet a number of those jobs had transferrable skills. "Cigarette Girl" likely had sales and customer service skills. "Toad Doctor" may have either moved on to small amphibians, or something with crystals.

You could be right.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourgeoisie

The bourgeoisie are a class of business owners and merchants which emerged in the Late Middle Ages, originally as a "middle class" between peasantry and aristocracy.

~~It is possible that the meaning of "middle class" has changed. So Musk is middle class, but the lawyer or pizza shop owner are not.~~

Edit: shit, I should have read farther. Bourgeois is used in multiple ideologies.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism

The two classes are the proletariat, who make up the majority of the population within society and must sell their labor power to survive, and the bourgeoisie, a small minority that derives profit from employing the working class through private ownership of the means of production.

This is good.

I like to use password managers to make up names.

If I am feeling spicy. It is me. Imene Shayma. (A joke. Follow the link.)

I get confused. bourgeois = middle class
proletariat = working class

What is the name for the rich?

I didn't think the wood part is the problem. The big metal bit is a real head scratcher.
