I'm sorry, I'm that friend that gets really into Civ and spends way too long coming up with optimal strategies. I know it's a problem and I won't stop.
Look we either spend a billion a year rebuilding this thing or we start looking for actual solutions to the problems we've caused. Do you want that? I thought so.
And then Isreal could "accidentally" blow it up with a "rogue" strike
Yeah maybe they should stop giving rockets to the rogue state that keeps blowing up their shit.
Let's just keep whining about how a solution isn't perfect
The only thing this is a solution for is to the problem of "what's a good way to pretend we're humanitarians while genociding the people we're pretending we care about", so yeah, it's worthless if you don't want that to happen.
Like the thing where they grow meat from cells in a petri dish and they multiply in a tank. I think meat '3d printing' is a way to do it, but there are others
Part of it is our ingrained belief that insects are filthy (and a lot of them are, but so are a lot of animals we eat, specially how we treat them). Personally, I'd rather have cultivated meat if that's viable in the future.
Decentralization doesn't necessarily mean disorganization. You can create a Lemmy instance with no moderation and rely purely on the community itself to self moderate, much like someone can create an instance with rules, and if someone disagrees with the rules they can create their own. Both are part of a decentralized system, so no one is actually coerced into participating in any system by regulation, just social pressure.
Here's what happened: Retailers that do nothing but import white-label Chinese products and slap a label on it got angry that people started cutting off the middle man.
In Brazil, international purchases lower than 50 USD weren't taxed on the federal level, but now they paid congress off to add a 20% tax (they wanted a higher number but had to compromise) and are lobbying for states to increase their own taxes.
So really, when you read "Latin American anger", it's more "rich Latin American parasites's anger"
