After US encourages Peru to plant blueberries as a cash crop alternative to coca production? Nothing to see here. 🤔 www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

reuters.comPeru, USA's top blueberry supplier, looks to China as tariffs hitIn Peru's Pisco Desert, rows of blueberry bushes towering as much as two meters high stretch towards the horizon, finally giving way to sand dunes. Traditional blueberries need chilly nights to bring fruit, but genetic innovations have created varieties like Eureka Sunset that can grow in this kind of arid landscape some 250 kilometers (155 miles) south of Lima. For more than a decade the healthy berries have rolled north to U.S. supermarket shelves, but there is a rival buyer in town: China.

Death of Expertise, Genocide of Science. It’s almost like Nazi’s are in charge!

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world. www.science.org/content/arti...
