Idk, why is not dying from type 1 diabetes behind a paywall? This is asking about universal healthcare I think

Ohhhh that makes a lot more sense. I honestly believed that Musk had put changing your Xitter pronouns behind a paywall because that's absolutely something he would do.

Not dying from starvation is also behind a paywall unless you can fashion your own tools and find a place to hunt without a licence or some unclaimed land you could freely farm. Which is rather hard in the developed world.

Why is not starving behind a paywall.

It was probably here on Lemmy, but I saw a post that basically said anything you need to stay alive, should be free. Air, water, nutrition, medical care, basic housing, etc.

If we can guarantee everyone a 10-ft square cube with nutritional paste, a health plan, and clean water, then so many problems would be solved.

We can have people who just decide to live with the basics and are happy with their choice, but can get out of it if they want to. We could have people who try to make a lot of money so they can afford nice houses and fancy meals, and that would be fine.

I'm sure there's probably a downside, because humans can fuck anything up, but it's hard for me to imagine a world where everyone has a guaranteed bare minimum quality of life, but can choose to make money and upgrade whatever parts they want, would be bad. Like a solid foundation of socialism, with capitalism on top as an optional extra.

Well, for now, the simplest way would be universal basic income, paid by taxes scaled with capital.

I think is more a dlc than a paywall

It’s only fucking if you want it to be

Your gender is behind a paywall in Fortnite. Until you buy a skin, you are assigned a random default one that changes with every game.

[-] Wes_Dev@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

They always lock the best features behind a paywall. 🥳

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Would that mean everyone who doesn't pay is a 'they?' I could live with that.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

What no, they are trans and have to pay to transition therefore paywall.

This is about paying for feminine hygiene products. Something that costs money for half the population with a uterus, no matter what.

[-] noli@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Look at the profile picture.

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That's a tax, not a paywall.
