Why bananas may become one of the first casualties of the dockworkers strike

One of the first places shoppers may feel the effects of the dockworkers' strike is in the produce aisle. Hundreds of tons of bananas are stuck in transit — and they won't keep for long.

I mean totally irrelevant to the issue at hand buuuut... If the stores want to offload some over ripe bananas for free I can make some BIG ASS pots of suafa'i and give it to all my friends. Maybe sell some too on the side of the road.

The idea that journalism can be unbiased is an illusion. In the case of this story, NPR is taking a side against striking workers by framing the strike in terms of how it hurts consumers.

The biggest banana-related casualty since that Harry Chapin song

Nooooooo (I eat a lot of bananas)

According to Trump, millions of people are flooding the US from Latin America. What if each of them brought a bunch of bananas with them?

Well, let's pay those dock workers, and quickly.

Good. If we can't have this shit without hurting workers we don't deserve it at all. Take our toys away, that's the only way to make the public care or even notice.

and climate change

Oh, what a shame! It sounds like the dockworkers are doing extremely important work and should be compensated appropriately, then!

I guess companies should learn to share they record profits, then. The solution is right there…
