Yes. I am drawing the line at feeding yourself. Everyone must be able to make a snack without poisoning themselves.


> Your privilege is showing.

Well, perhaps if the sort of folks who yap about privilege hadn't spent the last four decades doing their damnedest to destroy the system in which, yes, the vast majority of households had at least one member (but probably several) who had the appropriate skills, then we wouldn't have this kind of mess.

I would dearly love to be able to get the sort of job where I create problems, then make money by talking about them.
