I'd like our dairy and meat industries to be better than they are, for the planet and for health.

Yeah, I am literally watching a John Oliver episode where he's talking about how factory farms and state fairs and such contribute to pandemic risk. One might hope that there might be some silver lining from corona where we take steps to prevent this from happening again by doing things like ban factory farming and stop deforestation (another factor), but I doubt it, because profit for rich people, and all. Sigh.

Right now in the States we have massive food lines where there are food banks. Was just watching video of one stretching like half a mile in Texas, in the snow (people standing on the sidewalk, not in cars). In the 80s, the fearmongering was always, "communism = bread lines!" and it's like ...um yeah kids we have that now? With capitalism? Greed. Greed and corruption causes bread lines.

I just don't understand how people can look at current trends - depression era levels of unemployment, pandemic, global warming, automation and AI taking over more jobs, etc. ...and not realize that we need to change how the system works. I don't pretend to know what the perfect "system" is, but what we have isn't working. Meanwhile, a privileged few are actively thwarting any experiments and change because they can get an extra zero in their Swiss bank account.

Aaaaaaaaaaanyway. I'm ranting. Sorry. LOL

No kitty talk posts yet, as they haven't yet pushed a button. Yuan's isn't really in play since it's been so freezing, we haven't been having any balcony time. Maggie watches me press hers though and so far I think she thinks I'm just a weird hooman. ;)
