   @mischievoustomato @modpod @parker during Covid and the lockdowns, in many places, including the US, farmers throw away copious ammounts of vegetables and dairy products, because it was all stocked up with nowhere to go, because people were buying less, so the markets were stocked. There were also no trucks available to carry that shit around.
   Whenever someone asks "why are farmers throwing stuff away instead of giving it", the answer is "logistics". Logistics are expensive, the farmer already lost a lot of money in the farming and stocking of wasted produce, they won't spend any more money distributing it, it's way cheaper for them to cut their losses by throwing it away.
   
   Maybe the situation in the video is somewhat related (and the quotas were created, again, due to logistics problems).

     @modpod Yeah, the recent thing now is the police barring people from entering/exiting fire-affected areas in order to feed the affected communities or help put out the fires.

     Disruptions can also happen absent intentional infliction. The supply chain, at least in the U.S. was based on "just in time" delivery which worked well absent sudden and massive disruptions. The supply chain adapted.
