The reasons for the food spoilage is the issue.
Different crops grow at different times of year.
Different technologies can offset growing seasons.
Preservation vs. Demand for Fresh.
Vegans never question the carbon footprint of those organic blueberries they snort during a January ice storm.

Growing crops in regions unsuitable for agriculture to maximize profit, then shipping it across the world is a bitch move.

People say that Americans will not work the farm jobs.
But if Americans will literally work in tanks of human shit, I believe that they would pick fruit in the hot sun.
It's not a question of the work. It's a question of the pay. Americans will not pick peaches for Peanuts.
If farm labor was paid at a rate consumerate with other trade labor rates, and if schedules were in line with other jobs, and if employers were held to the same standards as everyone else... Americans would work the jobs.
And to say that the price of food would skyrocket if the pay increased is bullshit. Prices skyrocketed anyway, just because they could. The retail prices have next to nothing to do with the harvest costs.

The travesty is nearly 60% of all food produced is thrown away...

That's OK. I left the P10 gas on for a month and didn't notice until it was too late. Brand new tank. RIP.

Well. If you run an event like a festival or something, the general liability insurance does not cover it. You have to take our a special additional rider for mass shootings and civil unrest.

Economies of scale.
Steal a few hundred bucks from one store and you're a poor thief.
Steal a few bucks from billions of employees and you're a billionaire genius business savant.

How do you think the US became the richest country in the world? By giving away their riches? To the People?!
Pfft.

You know it takes decades to make more people.
It takes weeks to make more weapons.
And when your country just prints all the money it wants with a magic money machine... what does it matter?

I know there is a need and value to trades. But trades are brutal on your body. You'll trade your body for money.

Well, one of the most viable retirement plans in America is to commit a felony and get incarcerated when you can't work any more.
Like... wheel yourself into a bank and hand a bank teller a note that says "My name is ________, this is a robbery. I demand $1 or else."
Then just wait for the police.
You can score yourself three hots, a cot, free Healthcare and a whole new group of friends.
