I mean, they should, but because of what amounts to basically slave labor, they don’t cost near that much in the US. That’s the big evil of bananas these days. I love them, but I don’t buy them.

Don’t they cost, like, 10 dollars a piece?

No, this is always been the case with bananas. There’s a reason why we have the term banana republic. Literally every banana ever bought by an American has been drenched in blood.
There are more involved videos on the subject but this is the shortest and most concise that I could find.

At least it’s tasty blood?
Idk, I’m trying to find the silver lining here.

The sort of silver lining here is that America is finally getting a taste of our own medicine.
That is to say, Russia interfering with our elections in order to install a president more friendly to their interests. And then that President going hog wild fascist and veritably wrecking our constitutional government in order to service his own desires for power.

Not when you haven’t got a complete moron at the helm slapping tariffs on everything he can think of. Here’s an example from a first world country (78p if you cba to click): groceries.morrisons.com/products/…/115455355

I think the comment you’re replying to was a reference to The Office, a la “It’s one banana, what could it cost, $10?”

As much as I’d love to respond with a troll face and pretend that was purposeful ragebait, I’m not gonna lie - having watched neither, I legit thought it was The Office lmao. Thanks for the correction =]
