"Corporate personhood" should imply corporate imprisonment and corporate execution.

Your business is directly, knowingly responsible for someone's death? business license terminated, no ifs, ands or buts.

Yes, but it might gain other buffs to Charisma between now and 24 months. Charisma is forced to 1 at 24 months regardless.

Again, "convenient" is very different from "my kids are starving".

Yes, that's my point. A person in that situation cannot afford to go on strike indefinitely. They need whatever income they can get.

If you want people in such situations to join the strike, then the community support for their needs must be available and provided up front. Not for like a day or two, but for however many months or years it takes them to find a new source of income after they get fired from their job for going on strike for weeks.

If it can't be done with a simple web form that lets me pick an available time slot then I'll make a reservation somewhere else.

"It sucks" is a very far stretch from "my 3-year-old hasn't eaten in 2 days".

All you're telling me so far is that you have no real experience in being responsible to provide care for other people, which means that you have no business telling other people what they can or can't afford in their lives.

That is great.

But it's not a substitute for a grocery store, not for a town of 5,000 people. It won't be anytime soon.

Yeah, OK. Come on down off your high horse and tell that to a single mother with 3 kids and a rented trailer.

The person I replied to was talking about staying on strike until the situation changes significantly. That is not something a parent can afford to do.

Or were you offering to buy food for their children?

[–] NaibofTabr 18 points 2 months ago (24 children)

Easy for young single people who have limited responsibilities and enough money to cover rent and food for a month or two.

Very difficult for anyone supporting a family and/or living paycheck to paycheck. Impossible for anyone in an economic situation where they need to work two jobs just to keep a roof over their head.
