Anybody can get a sunburn. The melanin in the darkest skin tone only gives a baseline SPF of around 10. While they are far less likely to get burns, it's still possible and when they develop skin cancer it's usually diagnosed in a later stage with a negative prognosis.

Sunburns are radiation burns, and doesn't have to include red skin to be present.

Forklifts are typically heavier than cars, easier to tip, come with piercing forks and, are operated in pedestrian heavy areas much more frequently. You can be certified a lot quicker and easier than it takes to get a driver's license, and typically you won't be the one registering and insuring the equipment. And that's just one specific type of heavy equipment.

To add onto what @bumblebrainbee said, the American revolution, the French revolution, the Russian revolution, the Haitian revolution. The American Civil War, Arab Spring, the Irish War of Independence. Violence has long been an unfortunately necessary tool to better the lives of oppressed people.

You ever see r/4chan? Just a bunch of people acting like the degens on 4chan on reddit.

That's a good way to send inflation out of control. Minimum wage laws are certainly outdated, but if we tied them to inflation it would be a death spiral. Prices go up, wages go up, which pushes prices up more, so wages go up. Not to mention other factors that cause higher inflation that aren't directly tied to wages would also push prices and wages up, it would get out of hand real fast.

Batman is punching the bread thief, you. So the POV is actually being used correctly this time.

Actual Legos are fairly cheap. You can get a box of 790 for $60, which is like $0.07 per Lego. The expensive sets are the licensed sets. They pay for that licensing fee somewhere. A Star Wars themed republic fighter tank is $40 with 262 pieces, which comes to about $0.15 per piece.

Definitely some greed in there but when you're a recognized brand with the ability to license you can get away with that because you already have the contracts so nobody can compete.
