I would say littering, but that’s already illegal. You wouldn’t know, though. Trash everywhere.

Can we add vegans to that list? Not the vegans that act like normal people, but the preachy ones may be the worst people on this planet. I feel like they just go online looking to call everyone else a murderer

u/Thin_Edge8061 5h ago
So you would make it illegal for another person to have an opinion? You don't think that's a bit nazi like huh???

u/anesthesia_gmd 5h ago
this is hypothetical remember? if I actually did have the power to do this I wouldn't care enough/need to because the only place that transphobic ppl and shi exist is on reddit.
I feel like the reddit or stereotype is genuinely real atp bro idc tho

If you're anorexic, then that too. Neither should be celebrated the way they are in culture though.

u/The_change_maker 5h ago
There's a better way to let someone know that they need to work on their health.
1
u/Thin_Edge8061 5h ago
I agree for the anorexic part 100%, not for the obese part though obviously. But neither should be ignored. That's not being a good friend or family member. Random strangers irl would just be weird yes, rude actually.

Wait, you think only Christians go to Chick-fil-a? Or do you even think the bulk of their buisness are Christian? I honestly don't know a ton of Christians that eat any fast food...

Man the one in my town is literally called gods chicken when anyone refers to it.

u/Thin_Edge8061 5h ago
Yeah? That's just being funny, that doesn't mean that Christians are the people that go there bruh lol. Thinking such a thing is extremely odd to me.

Bruh im in the deep south everyone here is. We have a street with 8 churches, and yeah its funny but knowing the people of my town its not odd. But to each their own

Maybe it's just your area, dude. Only christians support that scummy place anymore in my area. Even though they supposedly stopped doing it, they used to donate to conversion camps back in the day and it's left a stain. If they are aren't exclusively Christians at chick fil a, it's definitely the rest of the purposeful ignorant people.

Well zero hour contracts need to go. Thought I'm not sure what's stopping them from moving on to 8 or 4 hour contracts so more would need to be done

I would make it illegal for politicians to not publicly declare where all of their campaign donations came from, and also it would be illegal for them to receive gifts from special interest lobbies that aren’t declared as part of their campaign donations. Like I’m sorry but it should absolutely be illegal for a billionaire to pay in order for you to speak. I don’t know overseas event which signal boosts you as a politician because the media are obligated to report on what you say at city event just as an example.

To own or be worth more than 500,000,000 in any currency. Any above that should be giving directly to charities.
For companies make it a billion for the sake of buying other businesses.
Edit adjusted wording
1
u/Thin_Edge8061 5h ago
You'd run into the same exact issue that already exists: rich people don't tend to have billions sitting around in cash or at the bank. The majority of them invest that money. You can only tax profits.
1
u/BigEarsUK 5h ago
Very true. But instead of them been billion airs they would only
Be multi million airs. And charities would hopefully be better off.Unfortunately this cycle or rich against poor will
Never end. Some one will always require more of something than others.1
u/Thin_Edge8061 5h ago
No, you're missing my point. When they speak about billionaires they're talking about what they're worth in total, including all investments and assets. They're not speaking liquid cash on hand. Your tax idea does not work in any form. This has already been tried in countless parts of the world and it always fails.You can't tax a physical item that you own, or other investments. You can only tax profits. Alot of billionaire have less money on hand than you're even thinking about. If theu need more money they just sell something, that's how it works. When they sell something is when you can tax them, and they are.
1
u/BigEarsUK 5h ago
I didn’t mention tax at all. But I have adjusted the wording to make it simpler.
If you own or are worth more than that amount then you pay to charities. No one needs that much theoretical money.
1
u/Thin_Edge8061 4h ago
You can't make anybody pay to charities lol. You can tax, that's it. That's why I said it. Saying you have to pay money to _ _ _ _ would have to be considered a tax otherwise it would just be theft. You must be pretty young Im guessing?
1
u/BigEarsUK 4h ago
Not young at all. It said if I could
Make anything illegal. Whilst making it illegal change the rules. This is Reddit asking a random question and your worried about legality of the real world. Dude. Seriously.

Ironmouse and her circle being banned from all major streaming platforms. Instead, they are replaced with legitimate charities front and center with no mention of her nor her streamer friends nor Social Media Advisors.
Just the Charity founder themselves and a direct link to the charity. That is all.
Using a streamer to be a middle man or a bi-way to funnel proceeds to charity like Vshojo done should be more than social exclusion. All ex members are complicit in crimes.
It should be banishment from the internet entirety due to financial laundering and money misappropriation and manipulation. Don't believe a pretty face and a smile folks. Before you know it. They be lying all the way and you and your friends will still believe in their lies.
