RE: From globalization to de-globalization
The idea of globalisation is a wonderful thing: what justification do borders and nation states have...? We are collectively responsible for our planet. But when it gets so absurd that, for example, cattle raised in Germany are driven thousands of kilometres to Portugal to be slaughtered, the meat is carted to Poland for processing and the product ready for sale is then brought to German shops - because it is cheaper than raising and processing locally - then it is bullshit. When every federal state in Germany has its own curriculum and a move with school-age children can be a real challenge - bullshit. If we make milk powder from German milk overproduction and sell it in Africa cheaper than the local farmers sell their products - bullshit.... We have a talent for bullshit. A return to old patterns is therefore by no means the better choice: it is time to do things RIGHT!
Like everything friend @weisser-rabe, it has its details. That is very true, we are all responsible for what happens in this world, because ultimately we are part of it, and what we do or fail to do will have repercussions in some way.
All these movements of products to return to the same country of origin, but processed, is madness. And yes, it is even ridiculous. There are things that are difficult to understand, but unfortunately those who make certain important decisions I think they are more concerned about their personal interests or paying political favors than anything else.
