Comment Re:The problem is SUPPLY CHAIN!!! (Score 1) 365

Yes, you are correct the supply chain web is very complex, however things can be far simpler with ease. Your example of fertilizer is a prime case. We can produce fertilizer locally to produce food locally to feed local populations. The long distance transport of any of those things is unnecessary. Simply making things local solves a _lot_ of these problems and eliminates a lot of the packaging, energy and other issues in the supply chain. Things can be done more simply. It just happens that we have cheap oil to do it in a complex way so society does it in a complex way right now.

Use low energy drives so minimal heat.
Seal it all up so moisture stays out.
Bury it under ground with antenna out and cell.

You miss the point. Our family owns, builds, operates and creates it. Same as we did for our house which we also built ourselves, our greenhouse that we also built for ourselves. While you wasted your time in school doing fake things we do real applications and get real benefits. It's a real world out there, kiddo.

School is never out. We homeschool. We're always learning. It's not classroom sit down book learning much of the time but real world things to a large degree. Projects are multi-discipline.

The latest project our family is almost finished with:
Building a USDA / State inspected modern meat processing facility (a.k.a. butcher shop)

History, government, regulations, economics, business, math, engineering, material sciences, architecture, construction, plumbing, electrical, water supply systems, heating, ventilation, refrigeration, meat cutting and so much more...

Comment Cyberbullying in general needs prosecution (Score 1) 306

Cyberbullying in general needs prosecution. It is not just revenge porn that they need to go after but all the cyberbullies. Currently there is no way to deal with these criminals because you would have to bring a lawsuit in their local court against them which costs a great deal. The police show no interest in dealing with the problems. It crosses state lines. It's a national and international problem, work for the FBI at least for the state by state cases.
