A quote from a Reddit post which is getting a lot of attention turns out to have actually been posted 3 years ago. I have not been able to locate the original, assuming there actually was such a newspaper story – if you know of such a thing, please send a note. But it doesn’t really matter: the point is still the same. We now live in a world that is so thoroughly interconnected and interdependent we often do not even consider the origin of things we take for granted. 
Obviously this received many comments. This one seemed worth repeating.
