  • I would think that farmers were experienced and smart enough to know which crops would hybridize and which don't. They would not need the clergy to tell them that.

    We don't see farmers today getting farming advice from the church. They get it from other farmers. I don't see any reason for it to be different back then.

    I do see however that the church wanted to sound important and wise. So they wrote things down, but without having a full understanding, so a lot of the advice they wrote down is too simplistic.

  • Authority means nothing anymore. Only power does.

    The Liberals still don't understand that.

    The US has two options to reverse course now

    1. indefinite general strike and civil disobedience, damanding resignation of entire administration.
    2. Military coup.
  • When all other options are removed by market forces, the consumer role is diminished.

    We used to have lots of choices for quality clothing at multiple retailers. I have shirts I inherited that are 30 years old that are in better condition than ones I bought last year.

    The the retailers decided they wanted to make more margin by reducing the quality of the product, while keeping the price the same. They then pushed their suppliers to provide cheaper and cheaper products. At that point, when price is the driving factor, the quality manufactorers are outcompeted by the sweatshops.

    The retailers and major clothing brands made those decisions by removing the quality products.

    This corporate obsession with profit over all other concerns creates those toxic work environments.

  • All the retailers use these same factories. Shein just skips the middleman making the fat margin.

    Instead of blaming the consumer, blame the retailers and middleman who made this level of quality and working conditions the standard over the last few decades.
