Actually, there are so many food producers. Locally, globally and everything in between, that getting stuck buying food from an inscrutable priesthood with a monopoly on food really isn’t a problem.
Actually yes. When there are a couple thousand independent farmers in my state alone, and anybody can plant a garden (and growing food isn’t a much of secret scientific mystery either). It rather kills monopolies.
I’ve been out of social media for a while, just recently came back, hoping Lemmy would be saner.
You ever see The Exorcist?
When the two priests are climbing the stairs up to where the possessed girl awaits, the old priest says to the young priest, “Whatever you do, don’t engage.”
I feel like this place is full of crazy demons like that. And I’ve been engaging too much.
I think this is an inherent weakness of large scale social media. It gives the small percentage of the population that happens to be angry children, crazies, etc, access to everybody else. And then they run the whole show. It exposes us to this vast population of demons.
I think that small scale social media is the way to go.
I will now leave you demons to do whatever it is you do when you can’t find a dissenting opinion to dogpile.

Exotic pharmaceuticals otoh…
Good point, there are no morally bankrupt monopolies or mega corporations in the food industry. Thank goodness

Well, if there were a couple of thousand of them in your state then they wouldn’t be alone would they, so which is it?
Good point again though, anyone can grow food! Anyway, I’m off to grow my rice, wheat, sugar, cocoa, coffee, vegetables and milk for the day.
