I've watched two bubbles up close, I know this well. I just wish the shit for brain fund managers paid some consequence for being massively wrong. If the custodian doesn't clean the toilet, they get fired. If a fund manager costs the fund billions, they just say "who could have known?"

While the post & replies are using this picture to say intensive/monoculture farming is bad, I see the image as a great illustration of tradeoffs. That plot of land gets progressively more crop production at the expense of nature, biodiv, carbon. Same true in reverse: restore nature, fewer crops.

That's the thing. It's rarely companies, & almost always family farms. 98% of US farms are family farms. Most of the "corporate" farms are big family farms. We just don't want to see them as "family farms" bc that might make us reevaluate the idea that family farms are inherently clean & Godly

Westerners keep believing that Russians are just like them (a belief helped by all the Russian attempts to cosplay as French/British/German), and so a reasonable, evidence-based, sensible outcome is possible and within reach. Sorry guys, it's not; they don't think as you do.

The most stunning hypocrisy in football is from France. Dembélé will be celebrated and his wife will be featured in Vogue. But policy and law would never allow her to touch a pitch if she wanted because of their hijab ban in sports.
