    “Tell me how shipping fruits from China to North America is more efficient than growing food locally and buying locally.”

    I like how this sentence shows you fundamentally don’t understand how efficient shipping is. I’m not sure where you live, but where I live is some of the most economically productive land in the entire world. Wasting it to build a few pounds of a single fruit which can be grown somewhere else would be wildly inefficient.

    “Look at the current system where we use precious resources to build dumb IoT devices”

    Ah yes, a seller providing something people want. Classic case of inefficiency /eyeroll

      Tell me how taking a fleet of truck, a shipping container, then another fleet of trucks is more efficient than a farmer’s market or a vertical farm right next to the market resources wise?

      A seller providing an electronic device that cannot be repaired, rendering it an e-waste is an efficient use of resources?

      Stop licking the capitalism boot, it is far from an efficient way to use the resources, unless that resource is capital.

        That’s the cool thing, we live in a system where if vertical farming is more efficient, then it wins. We want a system like that.
