      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.

        OK, but opportunity cost. Sure, anyone can learn to make bread, but not everyone has the time, space or equipment to make their own bread, or wants to spend their time doing it. Not making bread themselves should not exclude them from having access to bread.

        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.

              Then you might as well lightly poison the regular bread to keep the poor feeling like shit and preventing them from improving their life. You can still sell the premium, non-poisoned bread to the rich.

                also placing some of the antidote into “herbal” remedies. to make even more money off them.

          Killing the baker isnt the best thing you can do

          Start a cult where no one is allowed to eat bread, having to make all bread poisonous and placing it in a line

          You would waste more resources compared to just killing the baker and reduce the risk of another person becoming the baker

          I feel ok about this, teach was indicating a specific baker. If she had said “suppose you want to kill a CEO, any CEO” and I were a CEO I’d be worried but that’s not what happened. The town was just mad at the prior baker for only making brioche and then charging out the ass for it so they needed to die. I get it.

          It takes longer than that bud, I start the day before.

          However if you’re an American, store bought bread is gross, even the $7/loaf stuff at whole foods. Farmers markets are usually good. I don’t buy bread for this reason, standards.

      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
