Trust me people would complain far more about the smell of local micronranches and micro farms, even ignoring the economics involved.

- einpoklum 6y ago1. Complaining is a national sport in many countries... I'd probably be doing a lot of complaining myself - but I would have a community context in which to complain. 2. I didn't say there would be micro-farms and micro-ranches. I don't believe in "village-level" autarchy. But in my view there should be much less ferrying of food from halfway across the world because people work there for a couple of USD per day and ship fuel is (still) cheap. 3. My point was that it's a huge waste of social resources, not to mention fuel, to send out vehicles across town to deliver food. It's also part of a process of social atomization where more and more of our interactions are mediated and modulated by impersonal commercial processes.
