I like eating pineapple.
Too bad the plantations on Maui were driven out of business.
The Oligarchy wants to reduce the population by 90%. Act accordingly.
If they were going to actively reduce population why Maui? Seems like there’s a lot better places to attack.
Soon we’ll all be living in pineapples under the sea.
Hawaiian pineapple were the best on earth.
The can and pineapple plantations were irrigates and cultivated — no weeds. When they were abandoned, nobody kept the weeds under control and they grew like...weeds. They are invasive, non-native weeds, too, so they were opportunistic, grew quickly, expanded their range, and grew right up the town border of Lahaina.
Same with the nonnative pine trees crowding out the tropical trees.
This was a massive government failure. The government had been warned many times about the big growth of non-native highly flammable weeds and trees, but did nothing about it.
The plantations weren’t “driven out of business,” though. Basic economics sent the plantations to cheaper lands with low-cost land and labor.
