Yep, we throw away, as USAsians... what, 40% of our food, with our insane JIT logistics/business model?

Uh yeah turns out globalized JIT is a highly efficient paradigm, in the sense of maximizing profits...

... But it is also extremely wasteful, fragile and shatters easily... the Trump tariffs and surrounding uncertainty, and mass destruction of the hierarchically lowest, but also most essential, foundational rung of the food production system, migrant labor...

That's basically just swinging at the knees of this paradigm with sledge hammers.
