You are very much a consequence of their actions, and to not acknowledge the duty of care that brings is neglect, in it’s way.

If you were to breed puppies and then cast them out onto the street to fend for themselves, or stop feeding them, as soon as you were bored of them that would be considered cruel.

I actually agree with you that they do not owe you their money, but that comes from my privilege of being able to survive comfortably without it.

It seems that our position in this particular argument is mainly supported by our own positions in life, so your mileage may vary on this one!

I’m currently listening to all 50 something books of the Horus Heresy - Warhammer 40k stuff - it’s a bit of a mixed bag, different writers and different narrators for each book, however the underlying story is just plain epic.

If I was to recommend a set of audio books, I highly, highly recommend ‘The wandering inn’ by pirateaba - epic books by a proliferate writer - if you manage to get into it, there are hundreds of hours of great story read by a truly talented narrator (Andrea parsneu).

It’s been a real hit with myself and my circle!

I highly rate dungeon crawler Carl, the narrator (Jeff Hayes) is fantastic! The plot just keeps getting thicker, I hope you relish it as much as I did!
