Strange Quarks

3 x 8 x 11 = 264

264 m³?

no

264 crates

containing what?

individuals

2, 3, or 4 individuals per crate = 528, 792, or 1056

me, on my way to work

them, on their way to die

one truck up, one truck down

once per hour, sometimes twice

how many times per day?

observed on rides between 8am and midday…

…sometimes until late in the afternoon

but even if only 4 hours…

lower limit: 4 hours x 1 truck per hour x 528 individuals = 2112 individuals per day

upper limit: 4 hours x 2 trucks per hour x 1056 individuals = 8448 individuals per day

…and these are only the trucks I see on my bike ride to work.

no wonder they are so easily purchased… no wonder there are so many…

what does any of our sophistication, technology, human problems or wokeness matter, in light of this…

if this is what we allow to happen to…

…thousands of individuals, capable of feeling pain and fear, with personalities of their own…

…when we could Just Eat Vegetables…
