Interesting article. I found this sub-topic to be especially concerning (emphasis mine).

There are several reasons why simply moving production north is not an easy solution. Agriculture is not determined by temperature alone. Soil type, the length of days, rainfall patterns, local water availability, pests, farming knowledge/skills, processing facilities and transport infrastructure all matter. Olive groves, vineyards and orchards require years to establish before harvest yields. Irrigation networks and reservoirs take considerably longer. A climate zone can migrate north faster than the agricultural economy built around it. Furthermore, this assumes a new found stability to the climate that simply may not exist in our lifetimes.

How do we cope with this volatility?

Not a good article, unfortunately. Vague weasel words for the first 5 paragraphs before they get to anything of substance when they say some platforms potentially have something like this. I gave up shortly after. I'm against the practice of course and I don't doubt employers would use this, but if the journalists find something they should really let us know.

Just imagine what these people have been doing at the border with no witnesses for miles.

The difference is that one is hired by capitalists to protect capital (whether that be slaves or shipments) and the other is organized by communities to protect communities. One is based on greed and self interest, the other is based on personal safety and care for your neighbors. The difference goes a little farther beyond mere belief and emerges from the economic system itself.

Hellfire is an old air-to-ground missile. It's laser guided. Probably will work just fine against an Abrams tank.

They're just fascists. My guy is right by virtue of being my guy. No need to over think it, they're just assholes.

I love how you're essentially "just asking questions" the concept of helping other people. This is where we're at in the year of our lord 2025.

The attacks come from an emotional, not logical place. Maybe someone can help me understand why there is such a strong reaction to even mentioning the word "vegan" among some folk.

Well, he is speaking the same language. Paraphrasing, he says "they are bureaucrats who don't understand business," as if removing the bureaucrats will solve his problem. Throw in business owners instead of bureaucrats and you will have the same laws being proposed as soon as their profits are threatened. If he would have stopped speaking before that point, I would mostly agree with him. Switzerland has an advantage in privacy laws, and they are throwing it away. It's also worth noting that he is phrasing all of this in terms of revenue and expenses, as if he doesn't believe the fundamental right to privacy will make a strong argument to his audience. That is the real problem here, thinking we can just treat everything like a business.

Trump has been going after the deep state and saying drain the swamp since 2015 or so. Really this just means eliminate the bureaucracy and replace it with loyalists and corporatists. Step 1 to that process is sowing doubt on the bureaucracy. I'm not saying that it should be illegal to criticize bureaucrats.

Voting trump into power so he can gut your administration is also a fundamental right of democracy, I'm just saying he careful with that type of rhetoric

I'm just saying, people have been claiming our warnings are "stretches" for the past 10 years here in the US, and look where we are now

Edit: if you want to criticize bureaucracy, be specific. Don't just slander bureaucracy as a whole because they're lazy or something. It breeds anti-intellectualism
