And speaking of things that climate will hit soon, very soon that will piss me off to no end, coffee and chocolate are going to sky-rocket in price because we are severely impacting the places where those crops grow.

Well, let’s face it, the only way mere mortals such as you and I can afford chocolate is that we depend on super-cheap third world labor to do the work for us. The Cacao plant fruit can only be harvested by hand (machines damage the delicate bark, as the fruit is borne close to the bark) and the seed extraction is also done by hand, the drying in open air also.
