ded posted:Food banks are getting massive miles long lines, while farmers dump milk and destroy green beans and tomatoes. Pretty much all human suffering from a lack of food is due to distribution issues, and has been for a long time. We've been more than capable of producing enough food to feed everyone for a long while now, but occasionally some people get in the way of that food going to people who need it because someone might benefit from those people going hungry.

Duzzy Funlop posted:I don't think I'll ever really move away from small-to-medium sized vehicles that offer you everything you need for a bachelor- or non-childhaving-relationship life and can be converted to solid stowing capacity with the flip of two seats. There are exceptions (and they'll be sure to chime in about how they need to move 10 yards of gravel every other weekend), but for most people occasionally renting a vehicle with more storage is a lot more economical than owning one. Looking at you, 98% of pickup truck drivers.

That Works posted:I can only imagine how it must be now that the EPA gives no fucks but when I worked in the oilfield in the gulf of mexico in the late 90's the smaller platforms were always up to poo poo. I went to one every couple weeks that we always delivered a 55g drum of rig soap to (think like 4x concentrated Dawn detergent). They were always throwing soap around the rig to prevent the constant steady leaks of oil from making a slick which helicopters / boats could see and would have to report. This was a Whiting petroleum rig iirc but there were like 5 other ones that got to visit personally. Isn't the EPA specifically suspending any enforcement at the moment? e: Yup: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-announces-enforcement-discretion-policy-covid-19-pandemic

That's as much verification as I need that he's actually dead.

Stultus Maximus posted:Lol no. If we shut down meat processing everyone's daily calorie and protein needs wouldn't be instantly met with silage. It's taking weeks to months to shift toilet paper and flour production just from commercial to consumer use. No one in the US is going to go hungry even in the imaginary worst case scenario of all meat production shutting down overnight. There's more than enough excess capacity of calories without any changes, and in the long run there's a huge amount of US farmland dedicated just to feeding animals that can be repurposed. Declaring meat processing plants critical even as everyone inside is getting sick is being done because the meat processing industry asked for it.

orange juche posted:That's not what you said though. It is though. "People will go hungry" is not a good reason to force meatpacking workers to risk what is, by all accounts, a wildy increased risk of coronavirus infction. People are going hungry in the US due to a lack of money, not because the food isn't there to buy. Industry has the capacity to provide the calories required with or without meat if the government is willing to make people not going hungry a priority. The only reason the administration is declaring meat processing facilities essential is because their owners make political contributions and don't want to lose money by shutting down production just because their labor force is dropping like flies. Godholio posted:When there is less food available, prices will go up. So increase food assistance instead of forcing minimum wage workers to risk their lives.

joat mon posted:How about we make the changes to get that extra capacity to the people who need the calories before we change everyone to a vegetarian diet? Well then, in that case there's no alternative to forcing people to die in meat processing plants for minimum wage. Even as someone who eats meat, it's amazing the extent that people would prefer that (other, poorer) people die for their dietary preferences instead of eating some lentils.
