"Regulus, how would you describe James's looks?" Remus asked innocently, watching the younger man tense over his parchment.

"Um— why would you ask me that?" Regulus questioned, not meeting Remus's eyes.

"No reason." Remus shrugged, nonchalance rolling off of him. "Just a random thought."

Regulus fiddled with his quill.

"He's... he's decent-looking, I suppose." Regulus mused, pretending to be throughly too interested in his textbook. He knew damn well he was lying through his teeth, and Remus knew it too.

"Just decent?" Remus asked, raising a split eyebrow. Regulus glared at him, and Remus smirked.

"Fine, you want to know what I think? I think James Potter is a wet dream come to life. There. Happy?" Regulus huffed, setting his quill down.

"Very." A stunned voice behind him replied, and Regulus froze.

Remus's grin was nothing if not triumphant.

I am a humanist, which means, in part, that I have tried to behave decently without expectations of rewards or punishments after I am dead.

Prompt 1 -Decent

@jegulus-microfic January 1 Word count 122

“Do I look decent?” Regulus asked, turning back and forth in the mirror, trying to see himself from different angles. When he caught James’s eye in the reflection, he raised an eyebrow, waiting for an answer.

James cleared his throat and cocked his head to the side as though debating. 

“No, love. I think you look entirely indecent and should immediately get out of those clothes and straight into bed.” Regulus rolled his eyes so far back in his head that he lost sight of the room.  

“Oh, alright,” He consented, “But then I really must go. It is an important meeting, after all.” He lifted his hand to his throat and slipped a button open as he slowly stalked towards James.

There's an old saying where I come from, "Fish are the Birds of the Sea". I can't prove if it's true but I believe it no matter what.

Be peaceful, do little, find the one good thing, the one solace in the moment.

"Be calm. Be cautious with your money. Be clean and attractive. Be comfortable and assured and confident in your work life...Be direct about the things you need that are reasonable requests, and apart from that, just enjoy him and your time together. Be impeccable with your word. Be miserable about the world. Be optimistic, for you know how steady application always gets you somewhere. Be patient and hold on to your vision and integrity. Be peaceful, do little, find the one good thing, the one solace in the moment. Be thoughtful and wise. Be very quiet, very humble, very grateful. Be worse than you were when you were younger, and allow that to be a fact, that people around you will interact with less than common grace and decency, they will interrupt and disappoint one another, and they will not always behave as you would want—in that good way. Because another person is not a tool for your own self-development."

Price ceilings and price floors

Food, housing, energy, education, health and arms cannot be left to the market. We need to control prices.

These are not consumer goods. They are commodities essential to human needs. The very reason for civilization is to be able to provide these necessities. They are not goods to enrich a part of the population. People must be assured of being able to live with dignity within their grasp.

People don’t need charity, they need a fair price. They have the right to decent housing, to food in an environmentally-friendly way, to energy for heating, to education, to healthcare and to the right to defend themselves. (Universal Declaration of Human Rights: https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights)

The price of a artillary shell has quadrupled since the war in Ukraine. Arms dealers are taking advantage and cashing in on public money. The Iris-T missiles that defend Ukrainian cities cost €150,000 to manufacture, and the manufacturer sells them for €430,000 to the German government and $4,000,000 to the United States, even though there are no development costs.

Without price controls, city rents are becoming unaffordable for some groups of the population. Landlords set prices without limits. They created nothing, they invent nothing. They represent 75% of the political staff. They are heirs. A maximum price on rents would improve people’s lives, lighten the burden on businesses, smooth the links between town and country, and cut a passive income, a rent that gives these people too great an advantage to enter politics. This has an impact on representative democracy.

Farmers need to be able to sell their products at their true cost, not at a cost lowered by subsidies. Foreign producers have no chance of escaping poverty. Products are bought at ever lower prices and sold at ever higher prices. Every day, farmers wonder whether their incomes are going to go down the drain due to the ups and downs of the market. It’s ruining their families, and the risk of suicide has tripled. We can’t tolerate this. We have to buy at a decent price.

We need price controls on energy. You don’t have to pay when it’s too expensive. It shouldn’t be a private resource. It is defended by wars so that some can appropriate it for their own private ends. In 2022, electricity rose by a thousand percent. This was not due to higher production costs, but to speculation on the pretext of the war in Ukraine.

Education should not be an income. In the West, the average schooling costs $25,000 a year. This puts unmanageable pressure on students and leads to a drug epidemic the likes of which we’ve never seen. It enriches the banks. It affects equality of opportunity. There has to be a maximum price. Not education grants where public money goes straight into the schools’ pockets.

Social security no longer reimburses many medicines. It is conditional on salary and excludes immigrants. Health care is subsidized. Laboratories set their own prices, thus recovering public money that bears no relation to manufacturing and research costs. Many effective drugs are no longer produced, on the pretext that they are no longer profitable. The laboratories are very rich and live off public health, i.e. tax money, and block certain scientific discoveries on the pretext that they would be less profitable. For example, curing diabetes with a single injection is less profitable than a lifelong patient. Patents should be in the public domain. Research should be public and financed by money no longer collected by the laboratories.

At the end of the 60s, there were price controls on these six pillars. It was a command economy. A farmer in the United States could sell at the public granary when the market was not favorable.

In the 1970s, we moved to the welfare state, where the market sets prices and the community provides a subsidy so that individuals can pay. The Nixon administration set up the subsidy system to keep workers in a situation of begging to break strikes by making them dependent on the state.

The situation has become globalized, as middlemen buying American products at lower cost have forced other countries to align their prices by providing subsidies themselves. Workers are no longer independent; they are forced to comply with state requirements in order to receive subsidies. It’s a tool of control.
