    Clue: the planet grows it but doesn’t gather it for you, or drive it to your house and hand it to you.

      Also it doesn’t grow food so easily. Many plants we eat have been cultivated from smaller, bitter, harder versions. Thorns and marsh have been cleared. Processing tools invented and made. Trade between different areas that grow different things at different times. Cultivation of billionaires to ruin everything for everyone.

      Well, that’s not the problem.

      The problem is that the children do not inherit the Earth, the wealthiest old people demand that our access to land is earned. If we go out and live off it, we are punished.

      How do you think the hunter-gatherers got their food? They didn’t drive around delivering berries to each other while worrying about credit scores.
