vertical farming is a meme

imagine replacing 80 iq farmers earning sub-minimum wage with engineers making $120,000

imagine replacing an empty field with a fucking custom built factory

the economics will never make sense, not now, not in 100 years, not even if the population of the planet quadruples

They post videos of their high tech factories

It makes sense if you can use it in marketing to multiply the price of your fruits by 10.

no, even that doesn't make sense. the market for this is so tiny compared to the startup cost of a vertical farming factory that the business will never be solvent. it's a dead business and every single company that attempted it failed

>"We are currently selling our factory-grown strawberries to rich people in New York for $10, and I'm very confident that we can sell them for $5 or less by 2030. Oishii Farm will get US nationwide recognition."

They seem quite pale, probably not that tasty.

The betrayal of our high IQ, high risk-taking quant analysis business faggots when it comes to being useful to society is jaw dropping. Keep in mind these are actually the people with the agency to choose to do something important if they want.
Why not solve a problem like bringing the cost of actual staple food down, or stopping corruption in politics?
No, instead, humanity's smartypants talent pretty much always settles on goofy startup tech shit and soylent astronaut food, or professional chess / gambling, or just being a conniving perfidious bastard in general

I bet those Greeks drawing shapes in the sand thousands of years ago were just doing it to jerk each other off and laugh at the low-IQ common laborers like me and it was a complete accident that humanity gained math from it. Newton was 100% doing all of his calculus for clout and to be better than everyone. Beethoven was similar. Like wow guys. Give it up for the fucking designer strawberry! Standing ovation. It's like a 6'6 guy bragging about how many girls he's banged. WOW I'm SO amazed

I hope some modern Lorenzo de Medici can become charismatic enough to harness these fuckers and pull their heads out of their asses.
