of these smarmy, arrogant, misogynistic pricks smart mouthing elected officials who happen to be women. They are generally assholes but they are particularly condescending to women.

And working conditions and the company shut down the whole working staff and sent the workers home. This happened a couple of days ago and now Panama has declared a state of emergency after some 5000 people were let go.

Per Wikipedia, besides Hawaii and Florida, as areas where bananas can grow:

Other states that remain popular locations for independent banana farming, which usually only export on a highly domestic level, are Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Arizona, and California....

bananas here in Oregon, in the valley between the Cascade and Coast mountain ranges. It’s a hobby for him. He gets some bananas, not many and not year round. But he does grow and enjoys some for sure.

‘WE CANNOT BUILD BANANAS IN AMERICA’

Granted, there are more urgent matters and pithy phrases one could put on a protest sign, but it’s also about diversity in our recognition of all the ways this idiocracy is upending lives.

it just took a hell of a lot longer in a geothermally heated greenhouse.

We could do that here, but the bananas would be so expensive that you and I would never be able to afford them.

The real problem is going to be coffee. The stuff grows in parts of Hawaii and Puerto Rico, but not enough of it to satisfy the US market. Peopleare going to be making Depression coffee and grinding up NoDoz tablets to go into it, something which will likely taste worse than bad coffee does.

And whenever a coffee hound starts to complain about how expensive real coffee is, tell him/her who to thank for it.

in Hawaii!

But Costco Imports organic bananas from Ecuador.

... we build no bananas. We build no bananas in USA.

It is surprising how many times the US backed large corporations against workers getting unions and better pay going back for decades. We backed these corporations with troops and coups. A google search will open your eyes to things we were never taught in school about how we backed the rich against the poor. All these years later we wonder why so many people want to leave their country for here. In many respects we actively helped keep many people in poverty. If we had allowed the people of those countries to earn enough to have a living wage by now they would have an active middle class and found their own countries to have a promising future for themselves and their children. Immigration would not be an issue today.
