One of the things thar disturbs me about Heinz Watties announcement that they were closing down their vegetable and food processing plants in Dunedin, Christchurch and Auckland is how a large foreign corporate took over the company and is slowly destroying it. Over some years now they have stopped using locally grown produce and substituted imported products e.g. asparagus, tomatoes and corn, from much cheaper source countries like Peru and Thailand. Local farmers lose contracts. #Aotearoa becomes more dependent on imported food in place of more secure home grown food. So Heinz is increasing our food security risk. That should be a concern for every Kiwi. Something similar occured with Mondelez. Huge global corporations like these are like vultures stripping everything down to the bone. #foodsecurity #globalisation #corporations #risk

Why FLOW Matters in Your Digital Life.
The Problem:
Most of the tech you use every day is controlled by #corporations—closed, #proprietary, and designed to lock you in. Think #Facebook, #iPhone, or #Adobe software: you can’t see how they work, you can’t modify them, and you’re often the #product, not the #user.

Sad illustration...
I had first vision for this after reading some chapters of "Permanent Record".
