Why we’re paying more for #locally grown #food than #imports
#British apples grown at home are more expensive than apples shipped from countries thousands of miles away
It’s not just apples. Bananas, which are virtually all #imported from tropical countries, are consistently the #cheapest fruit available per kg in #UK
Investigation discovers the many aspects of UK food supply system that don’t make much

"Distributed #solar, #wind and #battery systems, which are harder to hit (ed: for us, it would be by weather / natural hazards), quicker to #repair and less reliant on #imported #fuel [than #centralised #systems], you say?
Rather than many billions (and you KNOW the number will be much higher than this mendacious, corrupt and incompetent Govt is quoting) on a #fossilfuel #import facility? Which may not even be used (and isn't necessary if we sownd the money more wisely)?
Hrm :P

Protesters held signs reading 'Expand the General Strike! ICE Out!' and 'Stop ICE Now!' while waving Mexican flags. The demonstration was sparked ...
Democrats love open borders allowing criminals (murderers, rapists, drug traffickers, etc.) to enter the U.S. and hate ICE deporting them. The Republicans don't.#imported #times-editorials #letters

Minnesotans, so infuriated with this violence, went on a day-long general strike to demand that ICE leave their communities. This loud conviction ...
With a force of 3,000 armed federal agents swarming its streets, Minneapolis, by the order of President Donald Trump's government, is under a military occupation.#imported #times-editorials #subscriber-only

CW: 'customers' and 'consumers'...
@greenpete Interesting point.
Was thinking at the same time that 'as usual' things do happen over time or they were always about profit just on a smaller scale before - now just a monster version with different levels of it in the modern day (cut-throat) business (that was always there, state being the constant root usually).
So it was always "business" #extraction / #domination / extended #monopoly of #extraction... though not everyone as a business had access or dreams of it that way... but over time everyone learned all the other #business tricks and used even more tools that kind of messed up their #customers and consumers (we were always both even in uneven levels) with how everything it because too #efficient or #redirected or #impersonal / #imported etc...
I think major steps to what you said and what I say here were something like:
2000s = Broadband mass-installed by state / companies. Exploration and habits change.
2008 = Major Banks crash / bail-outs + effects after happen...
20?? = Less variation of jobs / cuts in funding by state for "non-essentials" (like a "poor artists" type thing where main tree of funding is constantly cut / isn't there any more making people more dependent or somehow funneling them)
2010 = Social media really kicking in / dominating even resistant / distant countries
2020 COVID as a kind of forced #consumption / paying themselves to cause more risk / experiment #damage [=more #business] - and masks / vaccines as basic
2020+ Various wars (economic also) as part of pulling people's taxes in and overall focus as country to generally go to war (price war, arms, anything).
Just a quick reply (saw you didn't have any - or did you get some response?)
It's interesting but overall always we were customers and consumers - just we locked in a lot more which also ties into people...
