I mean it would probably still be someone else picking berries as per the second half of the post. They’re talking at a high level about a system where people do things not to make money for the guys on top but to help out each other.
So someone who likes picking the berries would be the one picking the berries, and you would still get berries.
I always assumed that it was a matter of a lack of infrastructure to do water processing and reclamation, and or just it takes time for water to cycle back around to being fresh water. I never thought about how a shift in climate means the air holds on to more water.
Goes to show, despite it being bad news, you really do learn something new everyday.
Ehhh better to be safe that have a discussion on religion and persecution in the issues board. Then it doesnt linger as an open ticket.
I feel like discussion about something like this is better suited for like a forum or a dedicated discussion channel. They discuss in a followup on the issue thread that they think even one offended person is too many, and they want to be as neutral as possible, which I think is commendable.
I think even if its a troll, its better to err on the side of “what if it is a real person, and they are offended.” Obviously, this needs to be taken within reason, like intolerance is not a valid reason etc etc.
I mean the point of the original post is that it sucks to do stuff when you line the pockets of someone else just to scrape by, and they get rich off of doing basically nothing.
So in this hypothetical berry picking scenario someone could be picking berries because they are a part of a employee owned coop, they still sell berries, and they don’t line the pockets of some ultra rich berry mogul. And maybe the employees feel good about being able to provide berries to people to buy.
I think this is important to think about regardless of capitalism vs communism. Human society is founded on the concept of humans doing effort to provide value for other humans. And there are people who abuse this fact and try to milk all the value for themselves. Helping yourself is great until you need the services or value of another person.
It all boils down to that old saying “No man alone is an island”. To loop back around to your original question. The berry picker picks more berries then they needs, cause they knows a guy who knows how to fix a lawnmower and that guy looooves berries.
