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.
Yup. It was designed as a troll to get sword geeks to comment about the inconsistency and then call them out on it.
The saddest part of this was to see that this person is of the age to have been in my school classes, albeit in another country. Madness can strike at any age, it seems.
Depends on the car and the parking lot, for me. When I drive my mom someplace we use her van, it's easier for her to get in and out that way. This van has a shorter front end, and no backup camera to compensate, so I back in and pull out of spaces so I have better views as I'm moving.
When I drive my sedan with my wife and kids, I pull in to spaces and back out, because the sedan has a much longer front end and a great backup camera/radar alert system that makes backing out of spaces the safer option.
I've actually got a setting/ system that uses this idea as a world building start. Necrobiotic by Penny for a Tale. It's pretty cool, although i use it as a guide for world creation with DnD games rather then playing in the created system.
Your right, I double checked the number and I misremembered, it should be ⅗ not ⅕.
