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?

Sorry to be the gadfly but distribution is a political question. We could deploy the national guard to handle distribution. A military organization is a logistics institution. We are choosing a political (moral) path. We are single tracking the trolley problem.

Sure we could. My point is most people don’t even seem to realize that it *is* a problem at all. You can’t have opinions on how to solve a problem you don’t even recognize as existing.

Indeed he did. I wonder about how to tell stories about these types of problems in ways that connect with journalistic frames or other fast-cycle forms of influence. Perhaps communication is a meta-distribution problem? 😉
