It's crazy how much people allow farmers to scam them.

Removing about 50,000 tons of peaches from production could reduce oversupply and save farmers an estimated $30 million in additional losses

Translation: We need to keep prices artificially high because the stupid American public is going to pay it anyways. We need to fuck them over as hard as possible because they have no self respect and get mad at anyone who does.

Can we get rid of these establishment plants now? Why are people still voting for them?

That money could've been used to help bring people out of poverty.

We have the resources, they're just going towards the people that are: responsible for making everything expensive, not giving workers a fair return on their labor, and also don't pay their fair share in taxes.

Wow! This actually makes a lot of sense to me and it's something I've been concerned about myself for awhile.

Not with these Thermos bottles specifically, but putting soda in a water bottle and opening the cap has resulted in several explosions for me. I've started being very careful with it, as even the thin plastic bottle cap seems like it could do a lot of damage to eyes with how it explodes off. I can only imagine what one of these bigger caps are like.

Hopefully the people who have been injured from this get enough compensation so they never have to work again. I'm sure there are some people making millions of dollars per year off of the Thermos brand that can stand to make a little bit 🤏 less.

Money brings out the worst in people. You want to see how much of a lying, scamming, scumbag piece of shit someone is? Threaten their wealth.
