    Welcome to late stage capitalism where air should be monetized at this point. You could make a lot of money paying people to breath and taking away all of the supply. Obviously we failed at something if the air is still free.

      The best way to keep the air clean and safe is to privatize it. Air owners will have a financial interest in keeping their air clean and can sue polluters. Meanwhile, government would just ignore (or at most monitor) pollution.

        Also, if you subscribe to an air company, and die of carbon monoxide poisoning (along with hundreds of thousands of others), then that’s your fault for not doing your research.

        We do have Pathfinder and 13th Age, both of which are better than 5e. They don’t have the marketing budget though

    Also, how easy it has to be to convince an average American that this is a good thing. That they want you to be at the center, because they care about you, or some other horseshit.

    Corporate doesn’t just want a lot of money, they want all of the money.
