China doesn't play well with others, and can't trade to make up the deficit because of it. This is not a space problem, it is an ACCESS problem.

Demand side economic policy babyyyyy! All we need to do is seek out the most efficient means of production possible but no, everything is about regulation and artificial restrictions to control supply and encourage demand for maximum profits. That is NOT capitalism. Capitalism has free markets with as little interference as necessary to preserve health and safety. You ask who is doing this? Our own governments. If there is a shortage in anything the market could and should be able to fill that demand - it's just math! The problem? The uncertainty caused by current western economic policy and regulation. Look at it this way: If we have the space and the materials and the workers to build homes, why is there a shortage of housing? Regulation of course. It can take years to jump through regulatory hurdles, to get approvals, permits, etc. Uncertainty in markets due to money printing, inflation, and regulation hurdles makes the cost of funding any kind of building project a risky venture. You're better off just buying newly created T-bills that have guaranteed returns - just the way they want it. So the regulations keep slowing down home building, the money printer runs, the prices of homes keeps rising, the T-bills keep being bought, and the cycle continues. Do you think they had these problems in early America? You would buy a plot of land and start building on it the next day if you wanted to.

I’m also convinced our plummeting birth rates are partially by design. Our high schools and colleges are literally teaching students that having children is a bad thing, that abortion is the first and foremost priority for every woman, and that a person’s value is determined not by their merit or moral fortitude, nor even their lack of evil, but solely instead by their race and sexuality despite all other factors. They’re taught that bringing more white babies into the world is tantamount to evil, marrying to raise children is “perpetuating white supremacy”, and refusing to participate or encourage gay lifestyles over straight relationships is “genocide”. They’re taught that “saving the planet” is more important than saving the human race, and also that every animal species humans rely on for agriculture (food) should be led to extinction as well; “cows, sheep, chickens, goats, etc.” cause climate change with their “emissions” (farts), so they all need to be put down… meaning, over 90% of people in western countries would be required, under these regulations, so radically change their diet, and agriculture would either have to quadruple (razing forests for farmland, etc), or a great number of people would starve. (Newsflash; they’re already starving.) The problem with the world isn’t the resources; it’s management of those resources, at every level of every supply chain to varying degrees. Farmers are often unable to water crops because the state spends three months deciding whether they’re allowed to or not. State regulations are punishing the trucking industry, and executive orders straight from the top are driving fuel prices to prohibitive numbers. Container ships full of meat and produce have been left offshore for weeks or months, and even the containers themselves are often left in port, where everything rots before it’s permitted to be sent on its way. The education system is mass-producing young adults who can’t read, write, add, subtract, or commit to any kind of labor, all by design; they’re taught that learning any of those things, or working a full time job, is “oppression” and “perpetuating white supremacy”, as their teachers and professors are increasingly only interested in creating political activists. Our shelves are empty, in part because our president is essentially selling out to foreign countries; if it doesn’t come on a ship from China, he doesn’t want it in the stores. So, seems to me that all of this is by design to put pressures on civilization in hopes it’ll “shrink and adapt”, or that those in power are so invested in their own self-interests that they just don’t care if half the population starves. Or maybe both.

Not quite. It is actually the intelligent decision that we’re doing now. We’re currently using the cheapest methods to provide the necessary resources. Not all places can use said cheapest methods. Some places have to use the expensive ones, which is why they have a scarcity. If we can collect water and clean it for cheaper than we can take it out of the ocean and desalinate it then of course we’re going to do that. The problem is that we use too many resources that cost too much all the time. Especially in the West. We could all totally catch and store our own water and use it to shower, for toilets etc. Water that doesn’t have to be especially microbe free. Then we can use the mains for drinking, cooking, washing dishes etc. The things that DO need properly cleaned water. Even if the saved amount is only 25% of your total used water, if it was everyone in the Western world, thats well over 250m people’s worth of clean water saved. There are so many options for energy too. Food is different. Food is intentionally manipulated to be expensive. Otherwise it wouldn’t be so damn profitable.

The answer to all of that is gree, power and control. There is a small percentage of people on this planet who use fear to give the illusion of control on the planet because they are greedy. But the illusion is breaking, people are waking from their slumber, the veil is being lifted, and truth is prevailing.

My brothers in the navy, the only way they get their water when they’re out to sea for 9 months at a time is through desalination.

Yep. Evaps down in the engine room. Purest water ever!!

[@joelc9439]

Or if they carry water from another place.

[@chelliechelle6602]

Also in Aruba.

[@scottys1423]

Nothing on a warship is economical. Look around the world. Desalination is only done in places where there's no other choice, and only for potable water, not irrigation.

[@VideoGerm]

It’s all about knowledge. Knowledge is a huge force multiplier. New knowledge allows you to use new things as resources and discard old things that maybe we’re running out of. For example, in energy we’ve gone from wood to coal to oil to nuclear. 100 years ago uranium was just a useless rock to us.

He was not 100% honest though. Desalination is not absurdly cheap. It may be to him, but not to a family in Africa who live by a dollar in a week.

[@undeniable90]

That's not lack or resources, it's that the resources have been monetized so there is incentive to with hold.

[@mikewar5078]

@@bradsanders407 England is another example. In most cases when you see solar panels on land, of fields of flowers, those farmers are being payed not to grow food plots there. It's very common in most developed capitalist countries. There is literally just too much product to go around. That is another reason why when C19 hit, all those farmers and ranchers had to dispose of their crops. We literally have the capacity to grow far beyond what our population could potentially handle.

[@sundarAKintelart]

The actual problem is the available resources are not distributed well

[@juzzlookin]

Lets take the UK for instance. Much of the available water is contaminated by pesticides and other contaminants. But NO investment into collecting more is programmed because the businesses that control water are to busy milking the profits. When there's a shortage, it justifies a price increase.

[@ZigaZagu]

We just need to find angels to hold office for us and distribute the resources properly without the use of firing squads.

When it comes to water and food much of that is also just logistical issues due to weather and terrain.

Desalination isn’t sustainable, it’s a process that’s been known for a long time, it’s been tested and is wildly inefficient.
