I vent about the current US Shit Show and offer peeks at my occasional escape into nature. I share links via archive.ph to further the spread of info to those who do not subscribe to MSM. I’m here to stay informed, YRU?

The rich people seem to want to stay on the coasts though, so the inner part of Florida is literally all rural.

Remnants of old tomato packing plants along w/ the rails for train transport are already in the vicinity though. Honestly it wouldn’t take much to get them running. I think I read it was last active in 2009? Someone bought them but isn’t using it all. Idk the land situation though its ever changing

We shouldn’t expect to produce everything we consume, but we could lessen our imports by subsidizing at home.
Bananas have been going through hard disease these past few years. We need diverse suppliers or we’ll always be reliant on THEIR quality and what THEY want to charge for it.

Well, our region is getting pretty cramped with people. 🏗️🚧 going crazy. People moving up from Dade bc of housing 🏷️ . I think Tropicana🍊 has lock on the fields that ARE available. Used to have 🍅 too, but I haven’t seen active packing houses. Some pantries have fields & greenhouses for produce.

Ok.. but there are climates in the US that CAN support it. I live in SE FL. The sandy soil is 💯 if you add potting too. We planted two banana trees in our flower bed this winter and they’re already having little baby plants pop up. (That’s how they grow, they clone themselves and up pops a shoot)

Also depends on the roads of your commute. Our local bike lanes scare the be-Jesus out of me, there isn’t enough space for the cars to weave and not enter the lane. I don’t trust the drivers enough to be out there without a cage.

facts rarely conform2 MAGA confirmation biases.For ALL the reasons listed,FoxNews DELIBERATELY keeps their viewers not just uninformed but MISINFORMED. I’d wager less than 10% of MAGAs are aware FoxNews CONCEDED in court(& paid $1B)b/c they deliberately lied to their viewers about ‘stop the steal’

🥲 thanks. I’ve had many substitute (step and otherwise) moms, but none of them will ever keep me from wondering “what if?”
I was only 2, I barely knew her. She wasn’t even old enough to drink yet, and I’ve drank many bottles trying to process that.

There was also one with monkeys where it would shock them and give them food. They were observed weighing the pros and cons of pushing the button.

There is a world out there where bad stuff doesn’t have to happen just for you to appreciate the good.
