I like not having to grow my own food. And I think rural people appreciate all the technology and media, enabled by population density, that we send their way. It's a nice symbiotic relationship.

This will probably continue to be the case until someone figures out how to make vertical farming competitive.



Indeed - its a nice symbiotic relationship enabled by trade and market pricing signals.

Why would market pricing fail in the case of letters when it seems to work so well (as you notes) for package delivery, food production and technology?
