Comment on Lateness

The point of this coming changes radically based on the perception around the word “giving”:
- Literal meaning of “giving” as in a giving charitably? This implies the freedom to decide to not be charitable. In that light, the comic makes no sense.
- A slightly less literal meaning of “giving”, as in handing over goods, services, or labour as part of a mutual exchange? In that light the comic comes across as either arrogant or just naive.
- “Giving” as in giving away under the presumption of coercion? Then yeah, this comic makes a lot of sense.
I don’t think the last interpretation is going to resonate very well with the people who need to hear the message the most.

Selling would he a better word, as that’s literally the case.

Selling under duress, even.

Definitely under duress. I wouldn’t do it if I felt I had viable alternatives.
