      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.

        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?

        If maximizing evil is the goal, killing the baker is the best thing you can do. Those people will eat some temporary bread and then go on starving. What’s worse, is more people will starve as well.

          But then you need to set up a cult to keep on killing bakers, because there are incentives for someone else to take up the mantle.

            or you take over operations, adulterate the bread with sawdust while selling the good stuff only to the 1% who can afford it. Also, maybe make it an overpriced subscription, where in order to have the privilege of buying bread, you also have to pay per loaf, too.

            If that sounds like corpo-shit… that’s because it is.

      Yeah. Meanwhile killing CEOs has no drawbacks because they do nothing of value and horde all the money which can be used for better than just choking the economy for everyone else.

        Good CEO’s lead companies to brighter future!

        Well, whole two of them, so your chance to kill one by mistake is kinda low, go wild.

        I wouldn’t say that they do nothing of value. Organizing companies has to happen. Is it worth their price? Not even fucking close. But crews cannot run themselves with efficiency. There has to be someone running the ship. But they do not deserve that much more. They get that by being corrupt and appeasing the investors MORE than making a company run correctly.

          most CEOs don’t organize anything, that’s ironically what middle management does. the CEOs job is to maximize the amount of value extracted for the feudal lords

            I beg to argue they organize the middle managers. Everyone answers to someone.

              that’s the fun part, they actually don’t, most middle managers are the controlling instance already, and any case where they aren’t is because the corporate structure has multiple upper level management layers further reducing contact to the CEO

      Kill only the greediest, wealthiest baker in the street. Next month, kill the next most greedy wealthy baker after him. Month three, all the bakers will be fighting to give more of their bread away than the next guy
