So thus, protests are pretty useless. Actually coming up with solutions and doing them would be of greater help. |
Well yeah, that was my conclusion too.
I just felt that saying no protest is effective as a bit too broad since say. Since such a thing can have an effect on someone like a 14 year old girl who wants an abortion.
It's funny one interesting move in greece since the collapse has been a huge rise in direct to consumer produce sales... cutting out the middlemen.
It helps the consumer because they get fruits and vegetables at lower prices, even 1/2 to 3/4's off. While it helps the farmers because they get there money up front right away when they need it. (Most retailers delay payments till the end of the season.
Works even better in the US if you can save up ahead of time and join a CSA.. I get Vegetables delivered to me that accounts for about 60-80% of the food my girlfriend and I eat in a week... for about $21 bucks a week. Can't be a picky eater though.
