I'd rather the floor be much higher than just slightly above gunpoint. Like you mentioned, there are some people who don't care, and that's sad. Chances are that a voluntarily-working group of people have the floor much higher than "slightly above gunpoint".
Also, you appear to be logged into a 4-day-old throwaway account. Is that intentional?

- qq66 13y agoBecause humans cannot photosynthesize, hunger is a consequence of idleness in a subsistence farming economy. A modern industrialized economy isn't too different along that parameter.
- pbhjpbhj 13y ago>hunger is a consequence of idleness in a subsistence farming economy // Yeah, 'cause famines and floods and other natural disasters never happen. No-one ever has to sell all their produce to pay for medicine. No, nothing like that; hunger==idleness for sure. /sarc
- qq66 13y agoI didn't say that idleness is the only cause of hunger.
- throwawaymsft 13y agoWhoops, yep my login was from before. Maybe I'll stick with it a bit. I was being facetious with the "slightly above" phrase :-). But I probably didn't word it well.
