Reply to comment by jdooley99 in There are a lot of current businesses, large and small, that don't yet realize they could make a lot of money and maybe even reduce employees just by using current AI technology yet. by jdooley99

That's why I think urban farming is so important. With the advances in greenhouse and hydroponic technology, paid for in large part by the cannabis industry, you're welcome, we'll be able to do stuff like take over strip malls and turn them into food forests. Aquaponics, hydroponics, vertical farming. The best way to protect the future of the individual is to be stewards of the land directly around us. There's enough lawn space in the US that we don't need commercial farming. If like 1 in 10 people kept chicken we don't need a commercial chicken industry. As the institutional foundation system and is collapse, new technology can make our lives amazing, just on a more local scale then we are used to thinking about. Globalization doesn't make sense with diesel at $5 a gallon, and Exon mobile making record profits means that's not gonna change anytime soon. Set up a little garden and build it from there, that's freedom

Last summer I did my first mini garden with a stepped planter box. Actually did too well because my tomatoes overgrew the garden after a while. Excited to expand with less wasted tomatoes this year.

That's so awesome. When ai takes the jobs we'll have more freeing to turn the extra tomatoes into sauce and paste and jar them and bam, self sufficient
