Great article. I especially liked the discussion of solutions rooted in strategic encouragement of a wider range of alternative actors.

Why Canada isn't having the same bird flu/egg price crisis as US:

Avg size of Canada's egg farms ~ 23,000 hens
Avg size of American egg farms ~ 50,000 to 6 million hens

Canadian supply management = more livelihoods, keeps prices stable, and is safer.

I generally eat chocolate chips out of the baking cupboard, straight up.

I too am working on assignments and also thinking along these lines, ie, sub-assignments leading to the final version. And the online advice is also along the lines of β€œhow to get learning done” even if they use ChatGPT
