Grand Theft Autobot posted:Or, we could just say "gently caress farming, it is dumb and lame." and import our food. Why the gently caress should we subsidize so much ag and force 3rd World labor conditions, when we could just pay the 3rd World to do it? The costs of the global supply chain in terms of CO2 emissions can't be factored out of calculations about things like this, reducing the distance you are shipping food when possible is a good thing. We should just pay the people doing the work a living wage.

We should just pay the people doing the work a living wage. It's a fair enough point, but would probably need quantification. All I'm saying is that if people don't want $20 lettuce, and you can't get workers for even 15-20 p/hr, then just import the loving lettuce from Honduras. Part of what fucks 3rd World farmers so hard is having to compete with US subsidized production.

prefect posted:I get depressed sometimes when I think about aquifers, and this sounds like it could definitely cheer me up. he doesn't talk at length about the water economy but does point out what i pointed out that water is insanely undervalued and that's really the problem. it's not that there are too many people or desertification is inevitable. the question is how we get there, which is a distinctly thorny one. that said, also understand taht even horrifically fouled aquifers are getting cleaned up every year. hell, my friend is just graduating from okahoma university's CREW team. they have been working on a watershed in northeast oklahoma that was so fouled by acid mine runoff from the iron mines there that the EPA loving peaced out of it in the clinton years. said it would take over 100 million usd to clean up and called it 'irreparably damaged' well you know what? they have a passive treatment system that runs for under 100k/yr and has cleaned up just over 40% of the water table so far. at the current rate they will fix it for 1.4 million USD. if other communities join in and they capture an economy of scale they can do it for like 900k usd. i've gone down and toured the system, it owns so loving much it hurts.

We should just pay the people doing the work a living wage. CO2 for each pound shipped per mile is actually really low for sea shipping. Combine that with efficient supply chains and growing in optimal environments (rather than closer, but suboptimal environments) actually generally makes overseas shipping of food contribute less greenhouse gases than locally grown stuff.

Can't spell "Jared Kushner" w/o the letters in Joshua, except the "O" 1/3 and his advice makes Trump as fit as Chris Jericho so his wall will come tumbling up. The "O" stands for Oonservatism, which in this 2/3 analogy is the leavening that leaveneth the lump. Democrat Party-run media will take their lumps because of their #fakenews BAM! 3/3

ex post facho posted:lmao i forgot that vladimir putin (the poster) is a hillary partidan, who believes batman is perfectly sane and fjne I'm proud to have voted for Obama 2x and also for Clinton. So loving what? The arguments about how Clinton would be no better than Trump were so moronic before the election. Post election we can see so clearly how loving stupid those arguments were. That much to me is obvious and not even controversial. Batman and Punisher, OK they may have some unresolved mental issues. I'm willing to relent on that.

We should just pay the people doing the work a living wage. container ships are so mammoth and efficient at this point that in the case of growing wheat and corn in the midwestern united states and importing it to japan, transport amounts to less than 5% of a pound of grain's total CO2 footprint tilling the soil actually is the biggest part because it trundles up thousands of pounds of rotting plant material. the real way to reduce CO2 footprint is to simply grow things where it makes sense to grow them, not try to force an arbitrary amount of agriculture on any given country. you don't grow cocoa in oregon and you don't grow oranges in kansas. you can do it, but it's very wasteful.
