They look like good, strong hands…

Like what?

But there’s also the cancer

I would argue this is pretty naive and stupid:

For example, Russia can stop the “special operation” if Ukraine gives them the land they want.

Unfortunately, you and I both know that even if Ukraine were to agree to cede some land to Russia, there’s nothing stopping Putin from continuing to sow instability in Ukraine or from still trying to take more of their land. In fact, he has a demonstrated track record of lying about this.

You really missed the point on this one, huh

This feels dismissive of feminism, and seems to miss the point by citing a bunch of examples that are anti-feminist. You’re getting caught up in political drama and missing that this is a life philososophy that can underpin how any one person fundamentally treats others and that exists independently of current events. The question is, are you a feminist?

For me, feminism is egalitarianism, plain and simple. Yes, I am a feminist, and an egalitarian.

Reading this article, is that your takeaway from this? The band doesn’t seem to have had much at all to do with it

The temperature in Almeria has never gone below freezing in all of recorded history, which is not the case anywhere in Arizona or New Mexico. Even Yuma, AZ goes well below freezing sometimes, and winter averages are well below the comfort threshold for tomatoes, where in Almeria average lows are warmer. And the summer highs in the US southwest (tomatoes also suffer and will not set fruit when temps are consistently above 95° (35°C) blow Almeria and everywhere in Europe out of the water.

I’m not saying you can’t grow in greenhouses and still be able to afford tomatoes, but there’s no situation in which growing in a greenhouse doesn’t cost more than growing outdoors in a suitable climate. Mexico has that suitable climate year-round, and the US does not, and as a result this tariff on Mexican tomatoes is going to significantly raise tomato prices in the US.

When someone says “billionaires,” you can go ahead and include in that figure all those whose net worth is between 8 and 12 digits

Yes. Greenhouses add significant cost, that’s my point.

Shipping from Mexico isn’t very far, fyi. Mexico is closer to the entire southern and western US than those areas are to New England. To be clear, I support eating/buying local at every opportunity, but as international trading partners go, shipping from Mexico is about as efficient as can be.

Hydroponics and indoor farming add significant cost, also

Given that tomatoes suffer when nighttime temperatures start going below 55°F (13°C), there is pretty much nowhere in the continental US where they can be grown successfully year-round without some sort of environmental control or protection.

I can’t wait to buy American tomatoes in the fucking winter, after the tomato growing season is over.

Pubert

We still have all of July, August and September and most of October to go…

You do realize the people doing that in the US all came from Europe

Nearly half the investors who have applied hail from the US, representing 85 applications, followed by China, 26, and Hong Kong, 24. Residents from countries across Asia and Europe make up the rest of the applicants.

“Flock” lmao
