Capitalism sucks for those that suck at achieving to be a capitalist.
No, it sucks for capitalists too.

You can usually find a job by using google maps to scan for all workplaces in your area, or just asking around.
Now, some jobs are harder to find than others. Usually, the most common jobs are easiest to get.

Okay, I think I trolled you guys enough, so as a way to say sorry, I will give you actual truth about this world so you no longer have to live in delusion thinking that some fantasy free market is a good system.
There are two undeniable truths in this world:
1. Almost all resources in this world are limited
2. Capitalists are competing to deplete those resources as fast as possible
Think of it with this example.
Lets say that there are 10 people and 100 chocolates.
If each person ate 1 chocolate every day, they would be able to survive for 10 days. Thats planned economy.
Now lets apply capitalist market to this example.
Because capitalists are competing with each other to sell to customers, and some customers want 2 or 3 chocolates a day, it follows that chocolates are depleted much faster due to customer's and capitalist's greed.
But what also happens is that once chocolates drop to low amount, capitalists increase prices so that only the rich people now can buy chocolate. This leaves all poor people without chocolate.
Obviously, capitalists who have a goal to maximize output and with that, profit, cannot at the same time save resources, because maximizing output is a contradiction to saving resources.
This is an essential flaw in capitalism, because it does not save resources, but depletes them. But is it any wonder that system which gave us polluted food, polluted water and polluted air also gave us resource shortages?

Okay, after doing some testing, it seems that there are indeed foods which are super easy to grow.
This is the list of best 5:
1. Peas
Pea plant grows almost anywhere you plant it. All you have to do is plant it in early spring or late winter.
I have even planted some with no tilling at all. I just put a hand of soil on ground between grass, place two or three seeds and cover lightly.
2. Raspberries
Raspberries grow on their own once you plant them. Once they grow into a bush, its lots of free food every spring or summer.
3. Hazel
Probably the best tree to grow. It takes very little space, produces hazelnuts which are high in calories and can last long without spoiling.
4.Walnut
Some people dont like walnut trees because they grow so big. I guess thats their only flaw. Other than that, once planted, they just grow on their own.
5. Apple
I would say for sure that apple is easy to grow. There are even dwarf varieties which produce fruit just year after planting, so you dont even have to wait.

Logic isn't your strong suite, you should be on redit; not a debate site
I guess you dont have a counter argument.
Doesn't matter since 40 rabbits doesn't produce the same amount of food
Yeah, it produces more.
40 rabbits = 200 rabbits in a month
40 chickens = 600 eggs a month at best
Now, 1 rabbit is much more nutritious than 1 egg.
lol, go pick grass and bugs from them from the forest rofl
If you are done embarrasing yourself, I suggest we move along.

Yes
lol, so you would pay thousands of dollars for a machine, when you can gather grass for 4 rabbits by hand in 10 minutes?
Yeah, I guess 10 minutes of work a day is too much. Better pay thousands of dollars to avoid that.
before machines the only time humans fed livestock
No, thats just your imagination.
People mowed grass, gave it to animals or made hay from it and fed it to animals.
Thats what people do when pasture isnt available or when they have limited pasture and want to make the most of it.
A rabbit is 583 calories, you need to eat four rabbits a day to avoid starvation
4 rabbits a day? So you eat over 2000 calories a day? Well, I guess now we know that you are overweight.
It takes 10 weeks (70 days) for a rabbit to grow to slaughter size.
Yeah, its a miracle, although people tend to eat them even sooner, but I guess this is one of those cases where google is your enemy. Every animal has best "slaughter size" and time to reach it. It doesnt mean its mandatory to slaughter them at that time lol
If you could perfectly time births (which you cant') that would mean on any given day you would need the rabbits for the next 70 days alive in your hutch.
I dont see what confuses you there. Maybe you think its one rabbit every 70 days? Or you think that 70 days waiting is mandatory to have infinite food after that? Well, neither is true.
That's 280 rabbits at any given time
No, you dont need to wait 70 days to kill a rabbit, even tho google might have told you that.
Rabbit produces 5 rabbits every 30 to 60 days. So 10 female rabbits would give you 50 rabbits in a month or two.
Now, if you want to be overweight, I guess you can have 5 rabbits a day by having 40 female rabbits which will produce 200 rabbits in a month or two, so thats about 5 rabbits per day for you.
But no, I dont see why would you have 280 rabbits all the time, as rabbits dont give birth once a year but many times a year. So by the time you would eat 280 rabbits, you would already have another 400 which would be too much.
As for chickens being number 1, or cows being better than rabbit, you of course wouldnt know that cow eats much more than a rabbit does, and only gives birth once a year which means you wouldnt have fresh meat all the time like you do with rabbits.
As for chickens, egg is 100 calories at best, so you would need 20 eggs per day which is 40 chickens.
Having 40 rabbits is easier than having 40 chickens, since chickens raised on pasture dont give as many eggs as those fed by chicken feed, and chicken feed isnt exactly free. Plus, chickens in winter dont even produce eggs or produce just few.
And chickens for meat arent really that great, since if you want them for meat, you cant take all the eggs, and you also must wait a lot because not only does chicken lay on eggs for a long time, but baby chicks need time to grow as well.

Now you're grazing for the livestock... by hand....
Yep. Thats how farming usually works, not that you would know, of course.
Or if you have a land, just fence it and let rabbits eat from it while providing some of the grass yourself.
But maybe you want free food for no work. In that case, stick to planting raspberries and hazelnut trees.
Then you'll spend four hours a day butchering enough rabbits to live on.
Four hours? Like really, how many rabbits do you even plan to eat a day? 30?
Lol
Well, if you hate killing rabbits, then get goose. They eat grass like rabbits, but they give eggs so no need to kill anything in the process. You just have to keep them in cage.

Of course you have the plants setup remote power via subspace vibrations DUH!
You take the grass from a forest and bring it to rabbits. Like, I cant see how could you possibly not figure it out lol
Wikipedia disagrees
As I said, you are clueless about farm animals, or about multiplying. Thats why you have to use wikipedia as your source.
However, what wikipedia forgot to tell you is that cow gives birth to 1 other cow per year. Sheep gives birth to 1 to 3 sheep per year.
1 rabbit gives birth to up to 50 rabbits per year.
Thats about 20 to 50 times higher multiplying rate than animals you mention.
So yeah, when it comes to multiplying meat, I am afraid that rabbits win by far. Not that you would know what is a multiplying rate in animals.

If North Koreans are raising rabbits instead of pigs, cows, and chickens it's probably because communist thugs will steel the cattle whereas rabbits aren't worth the trouble
Actually, the rabbits produce 6 times more meat than cows, but its not something someone who lives in a city would be familiar with.

if you had ever lived near them you would know there are no forests or grasslands which are not claimed by somebody
lol I guess you dont know what is a national forest. Like really, there are people from all corners of the world foraging in forests they dont own, and yet you are somehow clueless about it. Yeah, you are obviously not near forests or ever even been in a forest in your life.
You let rabbits out into a forest (or fields) you don't own and somebody is going to kill them all.
lol okay, I didnt think I would have to explain this, but I guess I have to.
You dont release rabbits into a forest lmao
Like, thats probably the dumbest thought I ever heard of, and your brain somehow assumed the dumbest possible option as a response to me.

it's not "free everywhere"
Well, I guess maybe where you live, its not, which means you dont live near a forest or any grass land, and dont own any grass land. This specifically means that you live in an area where only source of grass is other people's lawns, without any forest or nature near you. Interesting.

Now, most of the people will say: "there is no free meal".
But in North Korea, people realized that one can have infinite food at home.
The process is really simple.
Buy 4 rabbits, 3 female and 1 male.
Per year, one female gives birth to about 50 rabbits.
So 3 female rabbits would give you 150 rabbits per year, which is lots of free food.
Rabbits eat grass and hay, which grows for free everywhere.
So yeah, its really easy work and free food forever.

There is a secret censorship which was created in the most brilliant way, yet so obvious that people dont notice it.
Apparently, free speech doesnt apply to internet.
Yet most of today's communication happens on internet.
Sites are free to censor any opinion they dislike. For example, YouTube will shut down any channel which defends pedophilia.
Even in real life, there is censorship (losing a job, being cancelled, losing friends...).
So yeah, I would say there is nothing "free" in free speech, because people have many ways to punish you for your speech.

Well, some arguments for God are:
1. Only God (intelligent creator) completely explains the creation of consistent logic and laws in the whole universe.
2. Only God explains how time and space were created.
3. God must exist, because all powerful being is above the laws of logic and can create itself because being all powerful is not limited by its own existence.
Now, I find all arguments for God to be based on assumptions rather than observable evidence. Its just people pretending to know something they dont. People like simple explanations and God is a simple explanation to anything. Because God can simply explain anything, its the best choice for those not interested in a more advanced solutions.

I will make a topic which includes the basics, but the most important Tao teachings are:
1. Adapt to environment
2. Dont use force
3. Work to benefit all
4. Do no harm
5. Do not contend
There are lots of other principles, but these I find most important

Most people confuse
"Things must have a reason"
with
"Things must have this specific reason I assigned to them".
Really, in most cases, people cant tell difference between observable and non-observable reasons.
To be specific, they cant tell difference between observable causation and non-observable causation.
Thats why there are masses of people who believe in causations they never even observed.
The non-observable causation, which is present in all causations, consists of this simple problem:
"A causes B"
Why does "A causes B" exist?
Because C.
Why does C cause "A causes B" to exist?
The only way to confirm causation is by observation.
Thus, when people believe in causations they never observed, they might as well believe in santa.

I think Tao debate is probably the easiest way to debate.
It consists of three basic premises:
1. Your opponent doesnt exist
2. Since your opponent doesnt exist, you can just ignore anything he says
3. Since your opponent doesnt exist, you can agree with the person you are debating since that person isnt your opponent.
Tao says "fight like there is no enemy".
So obviously, if you had no debating opponents, you would make arguments slowly over time.
For example, you pick a topic and then every day you think of a point to support it, and think of a point to support a point.
After a while, you will pile many points and each point will be supported by many points.
Now, lets say someone wants to debate you.
And you make an argument number 1.
But your opponent makes counter argument to 1.
Because your opponent doesnt exist, the counter argument doesnt exist either, so there is no need to respond to it, but just make more points to support argument 1 or make argument 2.
There is no need to acknowledge that your opponent exists or that his arguments exist. There is no need to argue with him, since wise person doesnt argue.
You can have entire debate written in advance, so you dont waste energy refuting your opponent's arguments but just copy paste from your argument text.
Sure, you wont win debates, but Tao doesnt care about winning since due to cycle of good and evil, winning just means you are losing somewhere else.
