@shonin@c.im As an Asian person in America, and a descendent of merchant mariners, many of the things I enjoy would become dramatically more expensive if we were limited to wind power shipping. There's certainly valid criticisms that can be levelled at global commerce, but it's not all bad.

@gcvsa@mstdn.plus I'm thinking bad started with farming for money, which is a kind of mining, and that we're in for a world of hurt. I don't say so very often, because of course no one (not even me) will ever be ready to hear it. Cassandra syndrome. Best to just regard me as bonkers.
