I did read the article. what it is that you thought you brought to the conversation that I was not aware of?
The closures left hundreds of workers without jobs and devastated growers, many of whom lost 20-year contracts with Del Monte and had few alternative buyers for their crops. Farmers could face an estimated $550 million in lost revenue, according to the Sacramento Bee.
If lemmy was any larger, I'd suspect you of being a bot. You certainly sound like AI.
Nothing you've said has ANYTHING to do with anything I've said, and it's clear you have in no way comprehended anything I've written. And others certainly have, as we've had a discussion about it.
So, whatever, dude.
Have a day.
Beep boop learn about the world or don't
Internet discussions don't have to be combative
Says the idiot who can't understand anything I wrote, and/or refuses to read it.
I didn't start this shit, asshat, you did. I read the article. I've explained myself well. Ohers understand, just you fucking don't, so fuck off and stop being a prick.
I know more about the world than you ever will, little boy. Now fuck off.
Oh oh? The world? Can you explain things to me?
