Wow. Capitalism really cannot help itself can it?

Saw a doc about this that said they could only eat a couple of grams/week because of mercury. What a tragedy.

Let’s go!

You have it backwards . The water is an input to the agriculture meaning the fact that the capitalist system sees sees it as an externality gives it immense exchange value which promotes exploitation of the aquifer for profits. The point of capitalism is to reap profits and if you still think the market is an efficient way of allocating resources, you have a current housing crisis, military industrial complex, multiple water crises and climate change to read up on.

One of the many points of socialism is to allocate resources based on need. Declaring unsustainable jobs as a feature of socialism is incredibly ignorant considering our current paradigm of the gig economy, decaying infrastructure, wealth disparity, perpetual subsidies to fossil fuels, and war.

How do you access this graph?

I have a school assignment it would be useful for.

Damn, I read it backwards.

Serious question: being from the US, and knowing that the £is a little less than the dollar, those chocolate prices don’t look bad at all. If that is the cost now, how much was it in the past? Chocolate here is at least double those prices where I’m at.

That being said, I am starting to see anti-theft stuff on the meat in the US.

Rebounds alongside COVID!

That’s a great idea!

I would like to hear an actual explanation. I don’t know shit about light physics but my attempt to explain it is that the trajectory of the light is such that it reflects off of the egg into your eyes and that it is this trajectory that is reflected in the mirror.

Rooting for either side is campism and its killing us.

Im sure there are some not so just motives behind this.

Get this inter-imperialist war shit off lemmy!

Yeah I think the concept is that it just gets diluted by melting ice caps until it is essentially stopped. Surprisingly I haven’t found anything about plankton and ecological disaster from food web collapse alongside the AMOC.

lol I played CoD BLOps at the opening and had the existential moment of “WTF am I doing with my life”. It’s so shitty.

Report back. Am genuinely curious!

I was wondering if this would be the result of the record SSTs.

Serious question. Why is this getting downvoted? This doesn’t seem controversial to me.
