Chloe du Plessis @chloe-duplessis.bsky.social · 58mTo be fair here (note: I live in Bend!) this town has a surprisingly large "go out and hunt in the fall" culture. Having a shotgun for deer hunting isn't uncommon, nor is having a deer tag at 16. That said... honestly, that gun should have been sitting in the gun safe. 110
Chloe du Plessis @chloe-duplessis.bsky.social · 1hto be fair, even cis men will respond to client modifications by crying around the seventh or eighth round of "no, no, this just isn't quite right, can we make the teal a little brighter without putting more blue, green, or white into it" 000

Chloe du Plessis @chloe-duplessis.bsky.social · 2hThat said, someone has already written "man car door hook door hand" and "And then John was a zombie.", two absolute classics of shitlit, you don't have to put *everything* out there for everyone. (In short: everyone should find themselves an alpha reader who can tell them "y'know, this sucks".) 000
Chloe du Plessis @chloe-duplessis.bsky.social · 2huse another unit in the building, rather than having to move out entirely), sudden surges in hiring, etc.? Basically... how much is "as much as is needed"? Do you allow businesses to plan ahead for things? 000
Chloe du Plessis @chloe-duplessis.bsky.social · 2hNow, hang on. Let's say a business *does* own an apartment building for housing their workers. Should that building be: 1) just enough units to house their current workforce; or 2) somewhat more units, to allow for things like having to do work on a unit (and just letting the worker(s) in there 100
Chloe du Plessis @chloe-duplessis.bsky.social · 2h(On the prehensile tail, however, however many *extra* layers of management, even if they exist to make teams a workable size... yeah, that's just padding your workforce to play stupid empire-building games. Do that shit on your phone in your own time.) 000
Chloe du Plessis @chloe-duplessis.bsky.social · 2hOn the one hand, absolutely not (that is, I agree with the last sentence). On the other hand, management skills (how to schedule people, how to manage inventory, etc.) do deserve *some* bonus over the base worker, same as any other specialized skills. 110

Chloe du Plessis @chloe-duplessis.bsky.social · 5h...arguably it's something that should belong to the government at that point, with usage being priced at "cost of needed materials and labor, plus two smallish fractions thereof, one to cover maintenance and the other to support the government being able to do more things like this". 000
Chloe du Plessis @chloe-duplessis.bsky.social · 5h"own a means of production": what do words even mean, man but seriously, no, you should not be able to buy up the only <whatever> in existence, prevent other people from making/owning one, and charging monopolistic rates to use it. if it's prohibitively expensive to make a second one... 120
Chloe du Plessis @chloe-duplessis.bsky.social · 5h(for example, a company running a couple of apartment buildings with the intent of taking advantage of being able to buy stuff in bulk) but shouldn't go up to industrial scale. also, the incentive to leave units open absolutely should never exist, beyond "we leave some float for emergencies" 120
Chloe du Plessis @chloe-duplessis.bsky.social · 5hhire for wages: entirely fine, people deserve money for their time, but properly done this is a *much* more fair negotiation under democratic socialism, which means business owners hate it rent out a place: now here's where I'll get yelled at by both sides, this is fine as a small business 320

Chloe du Plessis @chloe-duplessis.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I mean, if you want to be a pure numerical asshole, you weight these by years of expected lifespan given - or even by some function of "years of expected lifespan of this person and any future descendants".
