this isn't dirt. it's potatoes.

next time you're pondering the wisdom of the market over groceries prices, meditate upon this photo, on profit incentives and the difference between material resources and the fictional NFT-style abstraction we call "money".

@maikelthedev it was tomatoes elsewhere in the video (photo) but this shot was potatoes and I got confused.

actual tomato wastage, showing hills covered in tomatoes.

@elilla you can't feed a family with tomatoes easily but you can with potatoes so it is even worse.
