The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.
There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

I read an interesting editorial or letter or whatever by the guy who had the idea to fortify cornmeal with vitamin B6 and pretty much overnight eradicated pellagra in the southern United States. He was humble about it, it was just a lesson in how the simplest interventions can have a huge effect.

is this a quote from something or did you just come up with this right here on the spot? (this is great)

This is usually what I imagine when someone says ‘kidney bean’
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 1 year ago
It’s easy to fix. Connect another keyboard and use it to install Linux.
That’s the main problem taken care of. As for the beans, IDK, maybe bring a couple of chickens into the office?

They spilled the beans
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Where did the nacho cheese come from?
MataVatnik@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s not part of the spill
BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s just your keyboard cheese?
Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You’re only beginning to ask the right questions. Look deeper.
radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The keyboard and cheese seems to be of the fake vomit/fake dog poo variety.
SeedOnTheWind@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I too am curious
Wogi@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Why were the beans even in the office?
I’ve seen some line cooks quit spectacularly before, and if that’s what this was, then it’s both not surprising and the most spectacular adios bitches I’ve seen.
frostysauce@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m glad somebody else was wondering that!
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Are you going to eat all of those spilled beans without spilled nacho cheese? What is wrong with you?
WraithGear@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Its looks and probably feels bad… but to be honest, this is a solvable. The main thing lost is the keyboard, and they are not terrible to replace. And your dignity may need some time , but with a little work this will all have bean in the past.

The real sad part is the lack of leg room under the desk. I can’t imagine sitting all cramped all day.
lost_tortie@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This looks like the manager’s office at a Taco Bell. I don’t think anyone is sitting there all day.

Send him or her some bean memes first to soften the mood?

synae@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
They never stopped if your instance is federated with hexbear. People block/defed because they don’t like the politics but they don’t realize they are missing the hot bean action
YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 1 year ago
Yeah. I block authoritarians on sight because fuck that shit. So hexbear was gone within a month of joining lemmy.

FYI: Feeding your computer the beans isn’t how you get your bean posts on Lemmy.
KomfortablesKissen@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
You have to drown your phone in them for that.

I always see this scene and get so sad for him. That’s a lot of food that he put a lot of work into and was proud of his work. Watching him try to shovel it back into the pot hurts. I know it’s meant to be played off for humor, but I see next to none in that scene.
Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s because you have empathy and Kevin is generally a wholesome character.
sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Do yourself a favor and never watch Seinfeld.
If you take away the laugh track, it is astoundingly clear that the main cast are all just evil, narcissistic sociopaths, they never do anything that doesn’t benefit themselves, and they have no problem at all ruining other people’s days or even lives… ironically with the exception of Kramer, who actually attempts, from time to time, to do good things for other people which will not benefit himself, he just goes about them in often dubious ways.
ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Same here … when I first saw it I was 50% laughing and 50% heart broken. I’ve made big pots of food before and this is my greatest fear … just walking around with it and dropping it all on the floor. I think of this scene every time I’m in the kitchen.
radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It was all this cringe to me. I just couldn’t stand The Office, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Bridget Jones films, Fleabag…cringe humor just makes my heart hurt.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I have a friend who I suspect has never raised animals, tell me about the “funniest moment on broadcast tv” in excruciating detail. It was the episode of WKRP when they threw turkeys out of a helicopter and instead of flying, they dropped to their deaths. Apparently, that’s really funny.
He also recounted an episode of Night Court when a couple got in trouble accidentally killing a bunch of baby chickens in a propane explosion.
If I didn’t already, I would have sworn off sitcoms from that.
