OT, but how are you in control if you buy food that you haven't produced yourself?

Just like you aren't in control of your software if you didn't write your compiler yourself, if you didn't build your compiler yourself, all the way down to the minerals.

You're never 100% in control, but that doesn't mean you should try and maximize it.

One difference with food is that you can switch your food supplier any time, it doesn't hold your data or account connections hostage.
