The issue some of us take with that is no, we did not all decide we needed more racism and hate. In fact, more and more evidence is being found that shows the entire thing was rigged, and the true majority decision was not acknowledged by the folks who had mostly been behind the scenes before.

Unfortunately the country I was born in, the USA, is also one that voted against the international resolution to define food as a human right. 😕
The highest calorie last meal
Your right, I double checked the number and I misremembered, it should be ⅗ not ⅕.
Yeah, not surprised at the Orange Blunder finding a way to bring back slavery. Oh his cronies will think up a different name for it, but soon these poor people will be segregated and counted as ⅗ of a person for purposes of population counting when drawing up political districts.
At this rate we are going to end up with Civil War 2 Electric Boogaloo before Christmas...
Edit: Correction of fractions, the historical amount was ⅗, not ⅕.

Isn't that just a solar panel with extra steps?
Solving percents. I use this to predict gross and net of my paychecks when I do my budget.
Net X
------ = ------
Gross 100
(GrossX) = (Net × 100)
GrossX ÷ (Net × 100) = X
Example;
200 X
------ = -------
250 100
Step A
200 × 100 = 20000
Now 250X = 20000
Step B
20000÷250=80
Therefore X=80
Also expressed as 80% of 250 = 200.
It's also kinda handy when figuring out sales and stuff at the store, sometimes.
Friend, your guild idea already exists. It's just called a Union in the current day. Many trades already operate this way, from the Carpenters Union to the Iron Workers Union. There's even a Teamsters Union. The different name doesn't change the work they do. White- collar hand much less representation with collective solidarity, but that can be fixed by starting a Union at your local work place. I won't tell anyone it's easy, but it's worth putting in the work. A great example is the Starbucks unions that have popped up in the last few years. The reason you don't see more unions is because employers are terrified of them, and want to continue to freely exploit the workforce through fear.
While I agree with getting rid of at-will policies, I disagree with one part of your idea. Why would I ever want to indenture myself to 5 years with the same employer? How would unions be handled? How about strikes? What about health insurance benefits?
Frankly, unions already solve alot of the problems with at-will employment, and should be protected by law rather then systemically stripped away.
Check out 'Monster Eater', that's the premise of the MC's story.

I loved Deus Ex Human Revolution, it was my intro to the series and still one of my favs. I woild also recommend something a little more sandbox, like Minecraft or Lightyear Frontier, just for the sheer time sink these games can be. Farming and building can make you lose track of hours at a time, great for travel.
I could also recommend something like Be my Hoard. Trying to get over an hour on a run is a fun way to burn an hour, if you like rouge-lite styles.
If you like driving, something like American Truck Simulator or Euro Truck Simulator is another great time sink.
