[QUOTE="N.Yorks., post: 7268048, member: 46426"] Yes, it's been a race to the bottom!! More for less and that's what everyone has been trying to do...... pointless. Maybe not pointless for those selling 'bigger this' and 'more efficient that'. It's a sweeping statement and isn't applicable in all cases I know, but there's a hell of a lot of truth in that. When the human population doesn't have to struggle to exist and has plenty of food then it just keeps growing, then hey presto we're where we are now with all the problems of a crowded living space eg. pandemic to name but one problem. Today we're at 7 billion and 200 yrs ago we were 1 billion!! It's nuts to say come on lets produce ever more food to feed xx billion in 2050 and let's do it as cheaply as possible! If you can keep the supply of a good (eg. food) fairly steady and if the demand rises then the price goes up.... which is what we want, better prices and quite possibly less population. Yes this is an oversimplified statement but the principle is true enough, isn't it? [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot 2020-12-01 at 08.51.22.png"]924245[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
