    The issue is that the vast majority of people don’t view religion as “what I should or shouldn’t do.” They view it as “what should and shouldn’t be done.” They can’t just follow the tenants themselves; in order to follow their religion - at least not the way they interpret it - they need to make sure the tenants are being universally followed. That’s why religion is always at odds with society as a whole unless that society is already overbearingly religious. It will never change unless there are no major groups within society with different beliefs than the norm.

    Elon doesn’t work, though, so he doesn’t deserve to be alive. It’s not about money, it’s about effort to contribute to society. My favorite saying is “community is uncomfortable,” because it portrays the work that it takes to be there for your fellow person. Even someone with a disability or other issue that prevents them from doing traditional work is already working plenty just to get through the day. Elon is the exact opposite of that.








  • While you’re right that the first time home buyer incentive does make it easier to afford a house than a lot of people realize (I bought my first house in January 2020 with a $10k down payment, and was easily able to stay on top of mortgage payments with a $40k/year salary), this is a comic, and the real issues of high housing prices and property scarcity due to private corporation buyouts are being exaggerated for comedic effect.
