Kill the Baker and people can access the bread, and the resources the Baker was hoarding, and ALSO make bread. Bread making isn't a genetic trait like hair color, it can be learned.

Yeah but in this town, they kill bakers . Don't listen to this guy y'all, he's just trying to up his baker tally so he can look cool eating bread. It's a trap, don't bake bread.

Edit:

Don't do it, really guys, I'm not joking.

I'm not a baker I'm a patisserie.

Guys i found the baker who only bakes expensive bread for rich people, get him!!

OK, but opportunity cost. Sure, anyone can learn to make bread, but not everyone has the time, space or equipment to make their own bread, or wants to spend their time doing it. Not making bread themselves should not exclude them from having access to bread.

Idk dude that sounds a little like capitalism or at least economics

[-] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Division of labour is not capitalism, trying to do everything by yourself is not anti capitalist (and in fact that extreme individualist fantasy has more to do with capitalism than anything else)

You assume those people would 1. Actually make bread and not just eat what was left and then go back to being starving. 2. Somehow not be subject to the same exact economic conditions that required a baker to charge for bread in the first place (ie. Cover the cost of his inputs, afford a place to live, feed and cloth his children, etc.)

Hoarding is a strong word. Rather than blaming a baker that is producing something that benefits other people, why don’t we focus on the people who are starving. Why are they starving? How do we help them make enough to afford bread?

They're starving because they bought too many lattes.

They're starving because they refuse to eat anything other than avocado-toast

[-] NeatoBuilds@mander.xyz 6 points 1 day ago

Exactly that's why you kill them too, don't leave it up to chance
