This is really just a musical interlude with only a loose associative relationship to this topic — “They used to grow food in Kansas / Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw / I can see the day coming when even your home garden
Is gonna be against the law”

Bob Dylan’s song does paint an accurate picture of our current “condition”. (It’s hard to resist the pull of the globalists when we’re purchasing everyday products from around the world!) And the internet hasn’t helped any. I always felt like the internet would introduce a leveling of prices, at the very least, buying stuff cheaper. I know products I’ve ordered in the past thru Amazon have come directly from China. (I guessed that because of the shipping time...a couple of weeks). And why did I order that item? Because it was cheaper than other products I’d considered here in the US. Ordering something online wasn’t an option for me decades ago...with the exception of the Sears catalog or Montgomery Ward. Another example... We bought a new F150 this year. I did my shopping and quoting via the internet. Only visited two dealerships. The place we have our Mustang serviced (out of fairness) and the dealership we ultimately bought the truck from. Wound up driving 2 hours to another city in NC...and saved several thousand dollars.
Bob Dylan could be right. We may very well be getting our food from the Moon or Mars one of these days because somebody figured out how to do it cheaper/better there. And, we’ll probably order it via the then current version of the internet.
“But...where does space go?”
And...I wasn’t being silly when I asked that question. I can ask myself any question and feel like I could eventually find an answer to that question using books or other people for help.
Except the “Where does space go?” question. That’s just a question I have to walk away from. Frustrating!
