So the #MoneylessSociety guy is a raging Luddite, but he insists he is not a Luddite. Then when he posts non-scientists as science, and he's called out that (plus their factual flaws), he insists that "science is not a One True Religion," calls me a zealot... and then kicks me from the group for challenging *his* One True Science.

Kay then.

Tristan da Cunha: The utopia that worked
When I was a teenage frequenter of espresso bars the arguments about 'anarchy - would it work' enlivened the wait for the bus home from school. I held my ground - 'yes it would' - till that bloody film Lord of the Flies came out. Then I was subject to derision and the glee

“As cost-of-living pressures mount amid high inflation and low wage growth, the major supermarkets are selling single avocados for between $1.60 and $1.80.

So why just not lower the price to drive up demand? Because it still wouldn’t be worth it for farmers, according to Kochi.

“The cost of putting that stuff in a package, including the labour and the cost of packaging and the cost of transport is just not worthwhile,” he said.

“So the option is just to dump it.

“It’s not only cheaper (to throw it away), you just can’t afford to put the labour into packing.
