Moving on to another episode of @sarahtaber’s podcast, this time about food supply logistics. I liked this passage, copied from the transcript.

“I appreciate automation and I appreciate scale. That's what makes automation possible. I don't think humans were made to just like stoop over in the field 12 hours a day. I feel like we're alive for other reasons than that. So, automation to me and scale are beautiful things. It's just that us as a society, we have not figured out how to do them in a way that's not, like, not run by rent extractors. And I feel like scale itself gets blamed for a lot of things that rent extractors will do even if they don't have scale.”
