    Orange harvests have been getting smaller and smaller in Florida due to citrus greening disease, which has more than likely been ignored on purpose in order to allow increased real estate development. I say this because I remember reading about how Florida is getting hit really hard but other citrus growing regions are not. I might be wrong about this.

    I’ve never seen California bananas, but also never any Florida bananas, generally they’re from central and south america. I assume they are imported from there because of exploitative labor conditions.

    a common thing people with autism and adhd is auditory processing issues, so it could work auditorily for them.

    i said it out loud in a few different ways and it sounded the same to me, but it could be a regional thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    these exist, see speed queen

    the cost is going to be higher, though, because “smart” widgets can offset their initial costs through the projeted sale of the data harvested over the life of the widget

    most people being ignorant to this and to the inevitable issues with corporate-built “smart” widget infrastructure, the cheapest option will generally be the most popular

    my inner doctorow says that the twiddlers did this on purpose to undermine competition, especially considering the attempts to keep those widgets from being liberated
