RE: Growing Food Is A Revolutionary Act - The CryptoFood Of Our Local Economy
Good comment (and good post luzcypher). It stuns me that people can't see that this is intended to happen. Everyone benefits from localizing production--it means less monocultured land, less transport cost and pollution, more community connection. The only entities that benefit are corporations. That we continue to be so short-sighted is frankly amazing.
The corporations definitely benefit from centralization on a massive scale but they aren't the only ones. What about the lobbyists & politicians lining their pockets from licensing fees, legal fees, penalties and other forms of extortion? I'm not sure its really short sightedness that's the real issue. Its like a magic trick. It's sleight of hand. Everyday, all day you're hit with stories meant to divide you from your neighbor. That's just the distraction the real story is happening behind closed doors.
Check out my series on Freedom. I intend of doing a post about how corporations fit into a free society and where the real problems with corporatism lie.
Agreed. The ironic thing about our current system is it doesn't produce more food as promised and creates environmental problems that were non existent a few short decades ago. Greed has poluted the whole food chain. Choosing local organic food frees us from this dependency.
Thanks for commenting. The real value that comes from sharing food locally, comes from the local communitys' own determination of that value, much like using voting on Steemit. Removing prices on our produce and letting the people visiting us decide its value has actually increased our bottom line. Funny how that has played out. Its very liberating.
