What’s the recourse? Do we start feeding our dogs homemade dog food instead?

[–] MiddleWeigh 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Yea pretty much. As much as I mull over solutions it always comes back to returning to our roots, which happens to be impossible at this point with the current population crisis. I'd imagine redistributing the wealth to alleviate these things would be extremely hard, would probly take a war to get going, or start multiple little wars in the process. It's really pretty bad. Worse than people like to think. I dont know where we go from here. That's part of the problem and why we maintain the status quo.

For now you can probly start approximating what is in that food with your scraps, like back in the day. I don't really know and I hate not knowing shit lol. (Why I'm here)

We have to go full Star Trek and remove profit and personal gain as the motive for doing everything. In the meantime I guess it’s time to start reading up on what a dog’s diet should be.

Haha i agree, but getting there is the hard part. Theres so much infrastructure built up around a messed up system that all we can do is slowly change and crawl towards our ultimate goals.

I'd be curious to see someones experience on this, and get the lowdown on if it's cheaper and more efficient, and if so, how much money they saved etc.

I try to spread the idea as often as I can that it doesn’t have to be this way. Snowball effect I suppose.

The Oroville had a really good take on this. It took me starting it 3 different times before it hooked me, but damn the third season (all the seasons really, but this season were 90 minutes episodes) kicked.

That would be nice, although remember what started it all in ~~2063~~ 2053 :/

Oops wrong date! Meant 2053!

<After the war ended in 2053, humanity slowly began to rebuild civilization and the planet, eliminating sickness, hunger, poverty, and despair within two generations. Earth was mostly restored by the 22nd century as the United Earth Government formed, however there were still some lingering effects from the post atomic horror. Star Trek: Enterprise

This is where that paragraph came from (https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Earth) Cool place if you're into Star Trek

For a second there I thought you were vehemently anti Vulcan!

If I’m into Star Trek… lol
