Reddit post between two users.  The first says "Seems like many people aren't aware that San Pedro cacti are legal, not endangered, easy to grow, and contain mescaline."  then there is a link to a subreddit called slash r slash san pedro cactus for sale.  The response says "Possession of the cactus is legal but cleaning, removing the spikes, and blending about 18 to 24 inches of it to boil for about 4 hours until it's a gelatinous brown liquid you then strain through a cheesecloth or tee shirt before consumption is not, so, definitely DON'T do that."

 Nowhere does it mention capitalism.

 Billionaires aren't solving childhood food insecurity.
 
 They have the capacity to, with their essentially endless supply of dollars,
 which taste good on rye with a dash of mustard.
 
 But alas, they choose not to.
 
 They CHOOSE to STARVE children. They choose that, by not dedicating their
 lives to solving that particular problem.
 
 "oh but like, there's so many problems in the world, how can-" shut the fuck
 up, spend the dollars, make it happen, and now there's one fewer billionaire
 and one fewer problem in the world. The next one can fix the next problem,
 that's why we keep them around, isn't it?

 Internationalize amazon and walmart and you'll have fixed most of the problems
 of globalism.
 
 But you can't fix anything if you don't have power...
 
 It's important to focus on how to get power. Keep in mind "what to do when you
 have power" but don't let it dominate your thoughts. Focus on claiming your
 right to determination.

 @user-95 it's so frustrating trying to explain something abstract to someone
 when they disagree with everything you're saying. it becomes a constant battle
 of referring to ethics, and that's... exhausting. something for lawyers and
 philosophers.

 z-targeting is cheating, and everyone cheats. it's a race to see how can cheat
 the least. like tax loopholes - wealth is always more impressive when you did
 in the hard way, but most CEOs just buy a bunch of stock and let the company
 run itself. BORING.
 
 can we like... vote on how much each billionaire's dollars are worth? kinda
 feel like that'd solve all our problems while still giving them what they want.

 @user-504 
 
 You can only visit so many places in life. Don't feel bad about missing a few,
 the world is large and we as people tend to be quite good at cooking.
 
 However in regards to your main point, I think it's immoral for a restaurant
 to be forced to close the way you describe. If it means something to people,
 it shouldn't be destroyed simply for the sake of making something new. If
 people don't care about it, or if there's something better to replace it with,
 sure, but replacing a 40 year old restaurant with a Chipotle feels wrong.

 Every moment spent feeding the poor is another day we could be organizing.
 
 Soup kitchens aren't bad, the poor need to be fed. But it should be a paid
 position, not a charitable distraction.

 the second, 5-10 seconds later with a megaphone
 
 "people of the city, we have come with a mission. please report to your
