This is a real world issue actually!

This means we need accessible cities, and checking what we eat. And also calls for subsidizing electric bikes for everyone.

TIL: If you eat extra beef for the extra calories to cycle those kilometers you generate non-negligible CO2!

Here's the 100 largest coops in the US: https://impact.ncb.coop/hubfs/Co-op%20100%202023%20Report%20-%20ADA.pdf

Combined more than 300 billion USD revenue. Not peanuts.

Here's a few networked coops with each more than 2 million members, from the nordics:

Actually - co-ops work wonderfully. Largest grocery chain in Finland (S-chain). Everywhere Scandinavia (COOP). UK. Rural America. Israel. Decades of success.

And many if not most software startups deal out shares. Great way to bind the blue collar workers.

It's the venture capital and just sometimes the grabby founders that cash out...

Not a good man. They think he's the divine necessary man who will bash abortion, women, the blacks, gays, the heretics, mutants and aliens and porn stars, not necessarily in that order. As the good word verdicts. A great christian hero.

(American white evangelicalism and christian nationalism is an abomination on the face of the earth.)

Polyurethane (PU) will gather humidity by hydrolysis in storage if not used regularly, especially if stored airtight, and will crumble in half an year.

It's used as sole material in sportswear, Scandinavian outdoor and military gear, and several Indian shoe manufacturers. Especially the military boots are funny, because they literally crumble off the shelf.

Also used as vegan / synthetic leather and has to be dried properly if wet.

Take good care of your gear.
