Jack of Harts

I’ve been brushing up on new skills to repair one of my favorite jackets lately. That put me into an interesting mood, because I knew I was doing it because I’d rather spend a few hours over a few hundred dollars on a piece of clothing I liked. It got me thinking about scarcity and the economics thereof. And then on Sunday I did my normal weekly wrapping up of food for my day job. So I can just grab a packet of aluminum foil out of the fridge and take it to work. Where I unwrap it, eat the food, and throw the foil away. Because of course we all do that. And it got me to thinking. Are we all going to find out why our grand parents recycled aluminum foil, just like they recycled bacon grease? By God, I hope we can avoid that.
