We’re letting big corporations gamble with our lives. Act now, or the food could run out (www.theguardian.com)

The fragility of the global food system fills me with dread – and the war with Iran has exposed just how close to collapse it is

on the flip side, it doesn't bother me much at all.

Saying that we're "letting" big corporations gamble with our lives is more than a little misleading. It implies that we have the authority to grant them permission, as well as the authority to deny them permission. We have no such authority. Or, at least, I don't. I have ZERO authority. Nobody asked my permission, and none was given. Somebody has the power, but it ain't me.

If you tell someone to stop hitting you and they keep hitting you, and you don't do more to stop them. That is letting them hit you.

We get closer to armed mobs every day bc these corpos and by extension our governments are violating the terms set by society for greed.

What would you like me to do? You know what, let me rephrase that: what would you like me to do, that wouldn't just result in me being hit even harder? Or killed. Would you like me to Luigi some folks? So I can be killed, or spend the rest of my life in prison or on death row?

Shrink: Tell me about your eco-anxiety.

Me: You know the crazy preacher guy on the downtown street corner with the "The End is Nigh" sign?

Shrink: Yes, go on....

Me: I got kicked out of his cult for being too pessimistic.

Shrink: It's ok to have fears. What matters is that we keep them rational and grounded in reality so they don't overwhelm us. What was your professional background again?

Me: I'm a scientist.

Sure, just-in-time supply chains maximize profit at the expense of resilience, not just in agriculture. It's long past time for it to become a legislative target for legitimate reasons of national security (for all nations). On the flip side this shock will accelerate solar hydrogen to ammonia fertilizer production, which already works fine, just needs scaling.

Iran allowing non enemy ships through Hormuz (kind of genius really) makes this pretty nothing burger except for the US and it's allies.

I like that the link is to a comment under the article rather than the article itself
