Diversification is good for everyone except the billionaires.
Like we had a period where there was one lifestyle that was sold as what we should all be doing, cooking at home eating chicken breasts or shrimp or beef as a main course for dinner, driving from a suburban home to an office job, a single earner household with one adult at home with 2.3 kids, a mortgage and twice yearly vacations for the whole family.
Now people are still being sold that goal but everybody is supposed to earn it independently.
And that won't work economically.
More people living in the city and more people living in town & country would be better. Fewer people working (and commuting) would be better. More people eating chicken thighs or catfish or lentils or the many other varied foods out there helps the climate and the people. Industrialization fundamentally makes mass production efficient through fossil fuel use and worker disempowerment. Fighting industrialization through diversity empowers workers and helps the climate.
