It's harder to think about the how geography matters to your business. People will pay to make hard things go away. So that's what capitalism works on. But we're learning that pretending we can ignore something just means we're blind to the ways it still has impact.

This huge push every company seems to be making toward NFTs reminds me of that anecdote about a Yahoo exec claiming Tumblr was “going to be the next PDF,” and that the shareholder class that sets the goals of the tech industry consists of people who are not very smart

I don't agree. It feels like tech increasingly wants to convince people that geography is no longer a factor we have to consider. I don't think that's even a good theoretical goal for lots of different reasons.

@lizthegrey It's very weird to me that the industry has settled on a model where customers by default have to think about zones and regions themselves. As long as data doesn't cross legal boundaries only a tiny handful of cloud customers have any reason to care about which regions they're in

Anther thing. If the "anti-human trafficking" people actually gave a single FUCK about ending human trafficking, they'd be going after farmers.

There's so much to say on this and WHEW idk if I even have the time to get into it today

About 5 years ago I had an onion farm client in south Georgia who went to what most farmers would consider "ridiculous lengths" to hire their own workforce and never use contract labor crews "bc there's some crazy shit going on."

Anyway here's why!
