I'm sort of used to the horror of these factory farms, more in the sense of how senselessly evil capitalism is. Like, you cure capitalism and the other stuff can be more easily righted.
But I keep thinking about how what used to be confined to death factories and poor peoples' water supplies is radially spreading out from there and just killing every living thing in the background, whether native birds populations, penguins, or mammals. And more and more people just out and about in general.
Also, farming in the desert? This isn't the fertile crescent, it's a place like Arizona where even crops require a ridiculous water-cost. Fuck.
I mean the four corners was the centre of several complex indigenous societies, like the several big pueblos. Phoenix itself was an inhabitant location due to the vast irrigation networks. Until a drought and later colonialism turned arizona into the sweltering desert state it is today.
Damn, thanks for educating me.
