And not everyone knows how to hunt, or has the equipment or skills to do so.
So learn. There are people who will teach you for free, if you are so inclined.

And basic economics seems to have gone over your head. What makes you think other farmers will sell cheaper. Or that people will be willing to buy from the others. Many places only source from the same places because they trust those places. Also, why would anyone else sell them cheaper. You do realize that farmers have to make a profit, as well, right?
Basic economics lesson #2 for you today - profit is revenue minus overhead cost.

If there is a substantial drop in overhead cost (like, for instance, from automating your work force), you can reduce your revenue as well and still earn the same profit per unit sold. Notably, if you can undercut your competitors, you will gain a greater profit overall by attracting their customers with lower prices. Notably, this is *why* we are seeing a lot of those price drops I alluded to above as industries digitize and automate.

Like everything that bought for the animal (like feed), and pay for vet bills, and other things like the butchering of the animal. Just because robots are working the farm doesn't mean all those bills go away.
It does if we have robot vets, robot feed harvesters, and robot butchers.

You seem to think having robots just means things are cheaper and free, but that's not how the world works.
In the short term no, but in the long term it absolutely is.

So, the food will still belong to the farmer, who sells them to be sold to us. They will always cost money.
Until we reach a fully automated point, at which point there won't be a human farmer to oversee the robots because one isn't needed. The robots can simply set up shop on whatever land is designated for them.

I don't remember what a string is. I wrote that after watching a short tutorial.
Then you're admitting you don't know how Go works and probably should not be opining on things you very clearly know absolutely nothing about.

I don't know if you realize how plainly your complete lack of knowledge of the game comes across in your posts. That's exactly what I was drawing out with those last few statements - an admission from you that you have no idea what you're talking about.

Move on to something else - you've lost this point.

You obviously know I'm right and you're mad that I understood that you can have different playstyles in Go.
No, I obviously know you're bullshitting because I actually understand how the game is played.

At this point, the best way I can describe you is you're like a blind man pointing at the ocean and saying, "That's red!" - you're plainly wrong, but explaining why when you won't even understand the explanation is honestly a waste of my time.
