This is a ridiculously myopic view of the world. A more efficient economy supports more people. This is inarguable.

- mcv 6y agoA more efficient economy may also be more vulnerable. Food produced closer to home, with decentralised supply chains, may be more expensive, but are harder to disrupt on a large scale in the face of disaster.
- Filligree 6y agoSo your solution is to, what, kill people until a less efficient economy works again?
- mcv 6y agoI have no idea where you'd possibly get such a bizarre idea. For one thing, I'm not offering a solution here, but an analysis. But if you want a solution, mine would be to save as many lives and reorganize the economy so less lives will be risked in the name of short-term profits.
