@idreesali114 No Sicily slander ever again

ROME, March 31 (Reuters) - Italy has denied permission for U.S. military aircraft to land at the Sigonella air base in Sicily before flying to ‌the Middle East, a source close to the matter said on Tuesday,

@umichvoter @StanFdr Your counterpoint to mainstream is two politicians with some of the highest name recognition… I know what you mean but you should clarify that you prefer centrists in swing states

I prefer Zohran and AOC brand in safe areas like NYC. Way too many moderates in safe seats currently But prefer mainstream candidates in swing states and districts Don't like it? I'm not your guy. But we can agree to disagree

So there’s no labor cost to serving a drink and they’re still $20 a can? I was told raising the minimum wage would result in prices like this!

@souljagoyteller Trump has done more damage to American hegemony than any current adversary ever has

Trump now is in an impossible bind: if he tries to occupy Kharg Island, he will almost certainly have to use US troops, committing the US fully to a war that will ratchet up gas prices. If Trump chickens out due to Hormuz, it makes America’s military might look laughable

@shea_jordan They’re calling it peace through instigation

“NO NEW WARS” 🙌🏾

Guy who doesn’t know other routes exist and this one is so wasteful it doesn’t even exist at my NJ grocery store

@JuicyJuuce @TheOmniZaddy @JulianS85954219 @TrueSlazac They only have grown in the USA at my grocery store lol.

@JackedLib @TheOmniZaddy @JulianS85954219 @TrueSlazac not cheaper ones.

For those with a functioning brain, waste

@TheOmniZaddy @JulianS85954219 @TrueSlazac I’m almost certain that there alternatives in east coast grocery stores

@JackedLib @JulianS85954219 @TrueSlazac And yes, labor costs do play a role. But a lot of it is also just simplicity in operations. “Grow at X, package at Y, ship to Z” means one fewer branch of the supply chain to worry about managing.

@TheOmniZaddy @JulianS85954219 @TrueSlazac This isn’t argument against shipping and processing pears in for Asian consumption. I just won’t believe that this is the best way to have pear cups on the east coast of the US.

@JackedLib @JulianS85954219 @TrueSlazac (If you have had a European vs Asian pear before, the difference in texture is very obvious. I grew up in China eating the latter and never had the former until moving to the US.) FTR most of the “fresh produce pears” consumed in Southeast Asia come from northern China iirc.

@TheOmniZaddy @JulianS85954219 @TrueSlazac Graphic refers to it being shipped back to America. There are many plants in South and North America. The only way it’s profitable to do this is through cheaper labor costs. If there was more equality in labor this wouldn’t happen.

@JackedLib @JulianS85954219 @TrueSlazac They are packaged there because they: 1) must be picked firm to prevent decay, and thus ripen on the ship to Thailand resulting in less land space being used in Argentina just for that one purpose 2) are primarily consumed in East/Southeast Asia (largest market share)

@infraexplained Try making a point then

@JackedLib no it is not in principle, thank you for proving my point

@infraexplained I think domestic processing/manufacturing that compliments regional resources for a more direct supply chain is a good thing 👍

@JackedLib you are retarded

@JulianS85954219 @TrueSlazac I didn’t know that pears grown in Argentina were the only thing they could package and it’s the backbone of their economy. It seems like you don’t want Thai workers to export more Thai commodities.

@JackedLib @TrueSlazac It seems wrong that you want to restrict the ability of Thai workers to do packaging work, when they clearly prefer this over the alternatives that they have in their country.

@JulianS85954219 @TrueSlazac It’s not limited labor it’s exploiting cheap labor.

@JackedLib @TrueSlazac It uses limited labor resources less efficiently, which is wasteful

@JulianS85954219 @TrueSlazac It is less wasteful. It uses less resources in totality.

@JackedLib @TrueSlazac if its less wasteful, why don't companies, who rationally want to increase their profits, do this?

@CAndrewoke @LandsknechtGuy @TrueSlazac So you think a warehouse that moves across the ocean and needs to refueled then loaded and unloaded… is a better idea?

@LandsknechtGuy @TrueSlazac @JackedLib The energy spent on warehousing + an artificial ripening process is likely to outweigh the carbon spent transporting it to Asia Id argue the biggest carbon hazard here is the process they are using for packaging in Asia, not the transport

@TrueSlazac Packaging at the source is more cost effective and less wasteful. Not really that hard to understand.

@JackedLib Guy who doesn’t understand supply chains
