It’s interesting how much people simply don’t understand distribution at scale.
News: Massive pile of food commodity needs to be destroyed
Them: Why can’t they just donate it to the needy and hungry?
Me: Uhhh, where do I begin?
It’s not rocket science. Moving 60k pigs from Tennessee or a mountain of potatoes in Idaho to wherever the masses of hungry people are takes so many tricks/trains etc. It’s just mass/volume and distance/fuel type arithmetic problems.
Moral arithmetic is blind to logistics
Let the governors handle it. They should have their own stockpiles of trucks and trains and refrigerated warehouses. Ours are for us, the people who don’t live in states.
