Here’s how your cup of coffee contributes to climate change
Coffee capsules aren’t the biggest carbon culprits. It’s better to use a capsule than to waste coffee and water.

Yeah, it's my cup of coffee that's the problem. Not billionaires taking 15 minute flights alone in their private jets.
They won't have to ban coffee though. It will just become prohibitively expensive.

About half of the coffee growing land will no longer support the crop by mid century. So I'm drinking as much as I can now.

Is a coffee shortage inevitable as climate change gets worse?
The world's favourite drink could soon be in short supply as climate change threatens cultivation.

Some peach growers in Georgia are changing over to oranges.
I think the obvious answer will be just grow the coffee in Kansas and corn in the Yukon.
I'm gathering my landrace strain coffee beans NOW.

Most of what people have been calling "inflation" is simple price gouging by the corpos. They're being given cover by the corpo news. If every news story is about INFLATION, who's gonna notice a little price padding.
Ever since Saint Reagan rode in to the White House from Hollyweird, the government has totally abdicated their anti-trust responsibilities. There's so much corporate consolidation that price fixing is now the norm.
Look at these egg fuckers:
I don't know why we let a company be large enough to set egg prices for 300 million people.

Only fools aim to monopolize, monopolies in open or semi-open markets are generally short lived and don’t payoff huge. Sophisticated capital cartelizes markets, it can last forever and the margins are whatever you can get away with.

Cops arrest two grannies for trying to catch, neuter/spay, and find homes for feral cats.
At one point one of these wild hogs tells an 85 year old lady "you better settle down or things are gonna get ugly!" She weighs about 90 pounds with bones like uncooked spaghetti. Chill the fuck out.
I literally don't know how cops in this country look at themselves in the mirror every night. Most judges and prosecutors too. They gave these grannies jail time for doing a good deed.

Given that we often unload military hardware on to local police departments, it makes sense that we're now offloading military memes too.
I also just noticed "Ponzi" is the first name of Miami's Mayor, making this story a million times funnier:
Francis Suarez backed MiamiCoin—and then it lost nearly all of its value

Miami was once coined the ‘crypto capital’ by its mayor, but how are things looking now?
