I feel like there’s an easy fix here, where the bureaucracy of a fantasy city could be either so slow or just non existent that this wouldn’t matter.
“What is the purpose for the inspection? Yes, you’re free to go inspect it if you have some business purpose… What do you mean, ‘city inspectors’? What’s that? Commercial zoning? What? Build whatever you want there. No no it’s perfectly fine. If the last person contaminated the area… Well then build somewhere else or clean it up? That’s not our responsibility. If you don’t like the area, just don’t open a business there. No, the drinking water is not contaminated, I’m telling you I just drank from the well this morning and it was perfectly clear and clean water. If it made you sick, well, that tends to happen now and then everywhere, doesn’t it? We have no laws about water never making you sick. That’s ridiculous.”




Eh, I taught myself. You have to learn to take care of yourself at some point, whether it’s fair or not.
Especially with the internet and youtube, there’s very little excuse not to learn how to cook.
A lot of us grew up with shitty parents, had to figure out survival on our own as teenagers. I don’t blame them. People fuck up tons of important things, especially being parents. They’re just other irresponsible people that don’t have their own lives figured out. You win by being better than they were, figuring out your own shit and living better lives. Sometimes you just have to get out at 18 and figure shit out for yourself. It’s not the end of the world and people have been doing that for a very long time.
