Mild Curse: You are burdened with the perception of your supply chain footprint. (lemmy.world)

You feel every discomfort of every sentient being that was directly and specifically necessary for the goods and services you use.

For example, if you bite into an apple, you can feel the hot air and sweat while you're picking it. You feel the pain in your back while you're driving it cross-country to a distribution center. Your feet ache in the last hour of scanning groceries at the store (where applicable. It's crazy some cashiers have to stand).

I've skipped a lot of steps, but you get the idea.

Idk, this doesn't seem mild to me.

It probably wouldn't be at first for most people in "developed countries," but it also probably wouldn't be a big deal for the majority of the world's population. Also, we can lower our footprint, if we want to or demand that our suppliers improve their processes.

Side note: I'm not doing the whole BP greenwashing deflection bit. I believe the consequences lie firmly on the shoulders of the decision makers, that is, the people with the most power.

This is just a fun, "What If?"

Edit: "...wouldn't be a big deal..." is what I meant to say.
