In german and english, the comma in numbers is swapped. So the number 123.45 in german would be written as 123,45 while ironically, the thing that we used to separate thousands from hundreds is also swapped. So one-thousand-four-hundred would be written as 1,400 in english but as 1.400 in german ...
realistically, yes, at least in america. the reason is simple: it makes the economy go up. if people have more money to spend -> more consumption -> more revenue for companies -> more profit -> higher stock valuations. it's very simple actually. it's very much in the interest of the state and everyone in power to do exactly that.
i remember a while ago i read that the average wealth of a black person in (new york? or somewhere else?) was $8. fucking $8. it's still running through my head. wtf
so what you're saying is that it's the population density that's unsustainable? not the milk itself?
also do you have a link that it's unsustainable? because i'm not so sure about that. the world can currently produce about 2-3x the amount of food that we actually need, i don't see that declining by more than 60% any time soon.
the treatment of animals is pretty bad in a lot of modern industrial setups. that doesn't mean that all milk products are bad, though. for example, things are very different if you look at italy, compared to the US.
Much government cheese is stored in "Missouri cheese caves",[10] underground warehouses for storing and aging cheese in and around the Midwestern state of Missouri, part of a national network of such facilities.[11] An erroneous article by Modern Farmer began circulating on social media in 2022 implying all of the USDA's 1.5 billion pounds of cheese was stored in caves near Springfield, Missouri.[12][13]
nah i think that the storage requirement grows approximately linear with the number of users, and maybe in the worst case quadratically; but the typical case should be linear.
i'm not sure why that is weird ... aren't they the same thing?
