US military sales are not limited to subs. Doubtless they want to sell more planes and everything else. You can look up graphs of US arms exports, it's a lot.

Capitalism doesn't look that far ahead.

I agree it's going to be problem. It's already happened when we exported manufacturing jobs to China. Most of what was left was retail which didn't pay as much but we struggled along (in part because of cheap products from China). I think that's why trinkets are cheap but the core of living (housing and now food) is relatively more expensive. So the older people see all the trinkets (things that used to be expensive but are now cheap) and don't understand how life is more expensive.

Sick is said as a bad thing. But in teenager slang it can be used as something cool.

This mixture of different lengths is the best thing for the environment outside of No Mow May because it gives different insects different advantages, creating a mixture of wildlife far removed from stale monocultures.

...

Insect populations are down by as much as 60 to 80 percent in the UK in the past 20 years, according to studies, so anything we can do in our gardens to give them a helping hand is much needed for the future of food security and key pollinators in the food chain.

Personally I think the last part has little to do with cities and more to do with what must be pesticides in farming.
