@SallyStrange @arrrg @breadandcircuses yes I'm new to mastadon and yes I know it's about capitalism. The issue is that it's a stupid argument, you can't have a factory for everything and a farm for everything, which global trade fixes, even if it leads to situations like this they usually are higher quality and cheaper as a result

Capitalism is stupid.@arrrg @breadandcircuses because the product is fermented. Fermented pears have small demand. Packing & producing is mainly done in southeast Asia, leading to the situation where it's grown it Argentina, packed in Thailand and sold in USA.
this isn't just about pears

Capitalism is stupid.@arrrg @breadandcircuses haha. Very funny. Let's not ignore that this is fermented pears, which wouldn't be present at all in America if it wasn't for the so-called capitalist system.

Capitalism is stupid.@arrrg @breadandcircuses the alternative is to use subpar local pears and build an entirely new factory, just to make it so the process is three days shorter and five times more expensive.
I think capitalism has got it's benefits when it comes to maximising profits my friend...
