Sounds like you're contributing to the solution.


You have no idea what's happening in the USA do you lol.

I can't speak to the fruit business, but let me assure you: people are starving, the cost of living crisis is a political weapon, SNAP is unfunded, and this nutrition is, as in Grapes of Wrath times, succumbing to the market, not to the lack of need.

People are hungry, there's just no $$$ in feeding them.

Shame.


No one in the US is starving outside of illness or drug abuse.

75% of the population is overweight, and the rate is even higher among poor people. We've had to invent new words like "food insecure" because actual starvation is a solved problem.


even if that was the case, there are still starving people in other parts of the world, and we’re still destroying food rather than giving it to them, because shipping food halfway across the world to give to people for free isn’t profitable


It doesn’t have to be profitable, but someone has to pay for it. It’s only free on the trees unpicked.


While SNAP is gutted


This is the eye opener - they're degrading the model for novelties.


At that point commiserations were in order


Fascism is the logical fallback to protect wealth from redistribution.


Last week he announced Iran had offered to make him supreme leader.

Truth is not even vaguely relevant to anything out of that man's mouth.


Start a war. Call dissent treason. Crush the left.

Capitalism falls back to fascism to protect wealth, time and time again.
