Do you make all your own food, clothes and shelter yourself with foraged materials from the land you live on?
I’d love an idea world too, but the one we live in requires compromise, like sometimes trading your labor for things your labor can’t easily produce. Like drive through ready fluffy air-laden ice cream.
You can do it yourself, but you’ll have to raise a cow, travel Madagascar or Mexico for wild vanilla beans, extract sugar from somewhere (sugar cane might be easy to get for you), and I think there’s gelatin in there too, good luck with that. You can probably carve a bowl and spoon fairly easily, as well as appropriate the salt, but the ice might be a problem depending on where you live.
Taking a month to ferment and distill something to get some alcohol to make vanilla extract would amp up the flavor, but that might be more trouble than it’s worth (it is fun though).
Maybe, but you didn’t answer any of my questions in any kind of a good faith way, which tell me your talking out your ass and haven’t actually thought about any of your words. What percent or amount is fair? How much do you value work other people do for you? If you don’t value it at all, how do you justify not doing everything yourself. Other people don’t want to be making you ice cream, prob because you’re an asshole, but regardless they’d do it for money, not for free.
So the question stands, if you don’t do everything yourself and presumably also participate in the system you were born into, what percent or amount do you think is a fair amount to pay for other people’s labor?
I know what they actually are, I’m asking you what percent above cost you think is fair for someones labor. And like I said in the other thread, your strange caginess about not giving a number when your whole rant is about profit margins is just fucking weird.

Lol, the mental gymnastics you people resort to in order to justify being taken for a ride.
Let me just say this: the profit margins from my spending habits are significantly lower than the profit margins from yours.

I answered your question honestly and in good faith.
If you want more details, you can do your own research and find out the exact percentages. I’m not going to do it for you.
Come back and let us know what you find since it matters to you so much.
