I'm from a banana producing country so I know all the scary shizz that goes into the bananas, despite what the documentary says. Also banana plantation workers aren't the most fairly treated workers in the world, regardless of what the companies say. Also, the Cavendish banana, which is what is typically grown for export, has a far inferior taste compared to other local banana varieties.

[@rext8949]

That's a fact, but far more pertinent is that Cavendish travels well.

[@sarahmeyers1773]

I like the tiny bananas.

[@Parents_of_Twins]

Fair treatment and Unions go hand in hand. Hence the reason big corporations are constantly bashing unions.

[@AlexTamayo.]

@@Parents_of_Twins that's not true. People can get good treatment without unions. Unions are actually counter productive to most people and they usually end up becoming cartels in favour of their members and curtail competition. Unions do not do what they claim to do.

[@Parents_of_Twins]

@@AlexTamayo. How many Unions have you worked for because you sound like you are simply spouting Anti Union BS and have absolutely no experience in dealing with an actual union. I do have union experience as does several members of my family and you are spouting anti union BS.

Now, in 2020, platinum is half the price of gold.

[@derickdinkins2887]

We need to start mining the moon and asteroids to become post scarcity

[@alextrevelian]

"The next stage is to separate the platinum from the other metals, and that's done with this powder". I'm gonna assume it is cocaine, that is what justifies the price of platinum.

[@SPFLDAngler]

The rarity justifies the price. How much of the metal exists in nature and how much can be processed, also what it can be used for. Platinum is so expensive because there is a very small amount that exists in nature to be excavated, and it can be used for so many things that makes it a low supply high demand product, resulting in crazy high prices.

Scary amount of chemicals sprayed over the bananas, in at least 3 phases.

[@bunnyqueen20XX]

Its to kill bugs that would kill the bananas, plus the bananas get a wash anyways and its only on the skin of it

[@jeanmeslier9491]

When I was a mere lad, bananas were shipped and sold off the stalk. In the early 1950s polio was epidemic and no one knew what caused it. Several children had eaten bananas just before they got polio. It was thought that an insect or spider was hidden in the bananas and had bitten the children. Here in the US there was some time that we couldn't get bananas until the fruit companies could break the bananas down and wash them to remove any insect or spider.

Mining, digging, literally unearthing, processing, and moving underground FF, oil, gas, and coal deposits take an enormous toll on our landscapes and ecosystems. And you seem to hate the idea of creating a solar panel and its factory's carbon emission. You're either contradicting or just playing oblivious to the fact that there's a lot of other factory, manufacturers, people like you and I that produces carbon emissions as well by using NR energy. And you're highly against the idea of green energy? both of you have hypocrisy at its finest.

Almost all commercial bananas are Cavendish bananas. They are not the most popular because they are the best but because they transport easily and are resistant to the disease that took out the previous banana cultivar. Another disease is now threatening the Cavendish. The Cavendish is the fruit version of living in Ohio. You will absolutely love living in Ohio provided you never go anywhere else. Once you travel elsewhere you begin to understand what Ohio is lacking and somehow it never again is enough.

the problem with solar panels is that most people cant even afford to keep their homes upkept, let alone 50K in solar panels that only power it for half the day, so you either need a MASSIVE roof and a battery room, or still rely on the grid for power at night. solar panels are terribly inefficient to use as a grid-network because they cant be stacked and homes can, so to power a city you need a solar farm way bigger than a city, and a small city to run it, and a small city footprint in batteries. this is why we need to go thorium immediately, and then start work on fusion...sadly big oil and corruption wont let that happen so yay let's play eco-friendly by using solar panels for the elite rich as a bandaid-solution only .001 percent will ever touch! smart hoomans. good job
