Supplychains, how do they work?!
seeing a lot of "higher gas prices won't affect me because I don't drive very much" and unfortunately it is my sad duty to inform you that your food does not teleport to the grocery store

There's a 100% chance that someone has a full shipping container with 100,000 "let's go brandon" t-shirts on a ship halfway between China and LA...
Manufacturers get paid in full as soon as the container is loaded. 😂

My niche is scaling mutual aid supply chains, but supplychains form a social network that physically connects communities!
So I've volunteered with / seen / talked to groups across the whole journey, from landings to camps to psychosocial support to cultural and economic integration.

This *IS* possible for limited durations under extreme conditions.
Early covid is one example: mutual aid efforts stocked hospitals with 3D printed face shields, hand sewn masks, and latex gloves from the local tattoo shop.
But that was a 3 month stopgap until global medical supplychains adapted.

Climate change's hidden price tag: a drop in our income
By linking decades of weather and income data, University of Arizona economist Derek Lemoine shows how routine temperature shifts have already become an economic force.

Would anyone be interested in short form video explainers / news analysis / mini-rants?
Topics would be related to my area of expertise: human rights, aid work, mutual aid, displacement, supplychains, open source tech, team leadership, org development, etc.
Like for yes, reskeet for hell yes.

Here are 3 things you can do to help @distributeaid.org scale up mutual aid supplychains across the US:
1. Donate. We need funding to get aid in place between now and January 20th. Every $1 donated gets $20 of aid delivered.

Hiked one of the rail trails this morning with @hawkeceprof.bsky.social on a stunning Saturday morning in @townofamherst.bsky.social. And now it's back to doing research that I love on #supplychains and #foodsecurity.

I'm really good at what I do because I've spent years leaning how global capitalist supplychains work and the inflection points I can exploit to make an outsized impact for our communities.
I'm not special, I've just put in the work to deeply understand a system.

THIS is why I say that you cannot dismantle a system when you don't understand how it works. There actually are pressure points within the system that, if properly leveraged, could bring it to its knees. But using them requires actual work and praxis and, yes, working within the system.

The grocery store nationalism of supply chains gets more interesting. My supermarket (Freshco) does a new flyer on Thursdays.. and anything produced in Canada or an international brand with a Canadian presence as of today now has a maple 🍁 leaf on the price sticker .
