        @aral He mentions ppl "directly dependant" on them for jobs. Then we see a Japanese factory - he says "highly robotized, almost no people".

        @aral I don’t know if you’ve ever read old Dredd stories set on the moon, with The Oxygen Board. Prescient slice of satire.

        @agreensteam @aral Moral dilemma. Quality is made at Halifax Nestlé plant so boycott would affect local economy.

        @aral while we're at it, oxygen should be privatised and patented. People expect too much for free.
