> Another interpretation of the situation is that if we aren't growing enough food to allow for a single missed harvest in one conflict zone, then we aren't planning well, particulars aside. The last 20 years of my life and all of my activism has been summed up in a succinct manner, yet almost no one including people in tech will ever do much about that until they burnout enough times and have enough money to get a hobby farm that is. You'd think this would be an immense task and a call to arms that is only for the elitist-technorati around here to solve, but 'hey... it's not my fault FAANG just pays us to sit on our asses.' With that said, Ukraine is and has been the breadbasket of Europe and a massive exporter of wheat in the region and to Africa, even after Chernobyl: we saw something similar happen during the Maidan Revolution in 13-14, and the first multi-nationals in there were mainly Big Ag corps and Petro corps: John Deere, New Holland, CAT, Eni etc... This is no coincidence, and it's no surprise no one took this into account until this happened in February '22: Russia was standing at the border of Ukraine in the Spring of '21 [0] but unless you're involved you weren't aware of this fact. I was there in the Fall-Winter of '21, when Belarus and Poland had their proxy war, and it was clear that invasion was going to occur. Even the PM of Poland said the same thing but did little to prepare his nation for the influx of refugees: all the work is still being done mainly by volunteers. They have been the most receptive to Ukrainians, but it's still a mainly grassroots initiative is what I'm saying. 0: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/05/us/politics/biden-putin-russia-ukraine.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/05/us/politics/biden-putin-r...
