the wonders of pillage

way to completely ignore the moral argument, journal of wall street!

"isn't it amazing how much variety we have!!"

uh, yeah, and the cost of that variety is borne by peasants in mexico, slaving away in factories because a huge US corporation stole their land to grow cheap ass avocados, and those who will inherit our broken ecosystems, raped to death by monoculture and waste from the transport systems to bring you your fucking avocado to manhattan in february. such people have no power, and certainly don't read the WSJ. no need to consider their perspectives.

Wow. Is it just me, or does this article openly admit the shortcomings in its argument? But I like avocados and exotic fruits in the winter! That's persuasive! Carbon costs, trade abuses, etc. . . be damned!

it is a pretty clear expression of the values of consumerism, and about as coherent as possible
