there was a post a few days ago about Australia: home-farmed eggs have 40x more lead than the industrial ones, because of unchecked pollution in non-agricultural areas...
Moreover even that is most likely only temporary, we are living inside a consumerist bubble that will soon burst (growing social unrest, ravaging pollution, probably a major war) leaving a horrible mess behind (we don't know how to endure physical discomfort anymore).
Please make sure to sing/play instruments from within an insulated location!
I mean entering your house, doing my business in your toilet and leave. I won't take your toilet with me, I'll come back when I need it again.
> when I use the faucet to give drinks to my friends?
But your friends all have their own house with their own plumbing they paid him for, so he can continue making a living from his craft. Writing a book takes months or years, not 2 hours like repairing a toilet, so of course the author needs to ask for money from everyone who wants to access it.
Can I freely use your toilet then? your electricity? You pay for the plumber, why don't you pay for entertainment?
