"sustainable forestry" to capitalists means forestry that you can trade for carbon credits. No fucks given whether you're replacing diverse, native forest with a monoculture of pine crisscrossed with access roads that make it virtually inhabitable for anything

No fucks given whether you're replacing diverse, native forest with a monoculture of pine crisscrossed with access roads that make it virtually inhabitable for anything You just described the Irish forests managed by the states commercial forestry department. Decades ago someone decided that managing national forests should be a for profit venture. Now all the woods are a monoculture of non-native pine as it grows fast and is then processed into plywood.

Call me a Luddite but I still like going to Giant or Target to physically pick out stuff, especially food. I’m very particular about produce. I understand the connivence especially if you don’t have a car but for all these rich people in gated communities it feels like laziness

But yeah I don't think I'd trust picking out produce to someone who's not me and who is probably trying to do it as fast as possible.

You didn't know that though so eh.

There are definitely good sides to those delivery services but under capitalism it seems like it'll just end up as a kind of high tech servant system where more and more people's jobs are just making the lives of the wealthy more comfortable and convenient.

I thought these services were mainly in place to make middle income people feel like they're wealthy to prevent them from revolting against actually wealthy people.
