explosive report by the UK’s spy leaders that found the collapse of ecosystems overseas would have catastrophic consequences for the UK’s national security

Giving "we musn't kill our slaves because dead slaves are worthless."

That, and also shows how UK is no longer a functional economy in a meaningful sense as it doesn't actually produce much of anything that people living in the UK need. Amusingly, England had a massive crash and went into the dark ages when the Roman empire collapsed for similar reasons. Romans also relied on economies of scale and different provinces were responsible for producing different kinds of goods that were shipped around. Once the empire started to collapse, England was one of the first provinces to be cut off and it rapidly regressed into a barter economy. Looks like the collapse of the burger reich will have a similar effect. History repeating as a farce and all that.

good luck with doing that without ending capitalism itself and fighting the oligarchs who profit off of collapse.
