The true cost of Ecuador’s perfect roses: how the global flower trade poisons workers Many farmers in the Andes rely on growing blooms for export, but high water usage and risky pesticides threaten Indigenous communities

Blood roses: Growing and exporting flowers has become a speciality of Ecuador’s economy in recent years - but critics say the rose boom has trapped producers in a toxic system marked by the overuse of pesticides. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

On the one hand we cannot give in but I also recognize everyone is not comfortable standing up and speaking out. I think we handle it like we did during the pandemic: mail-in voting.

These guys are useless and need to go. We need some people with balls to stand up to what is happening.

I am not a Texan either and I like Telarico and Crockett. But Crockett is a smart, articulate woman with experience in the trenches. She is badass and we need more badass in the US Senate.

Oh yeah!! I’m at level 71. That sounds much better!

Agreed. No interest in this.

Ooo I know, park it and sell tickets to tour it. Just burns my ass that he took that damn plane.

Yes! Exactly! How many women have already accused him and they are not taken seriously.

22.12.2025 21:35 — 👍 6    🔁 0    💬 0    📌 0

And sell the damn plane. Use the money for snap benefits or VA benefits anything but the turd.

They should get the same plan as the rest of us. No more special treatment. They should pay in to and get Social security and Medicare. No salary for life pensions and no elite healthcare. If they had more to lose they might be more inclined to fix these things.

Sue him and make him pay to have it restored.

Wouldn’t that be great!!

Because women are ignored and ridiculed for coming forward. Look what happened to Christine Blasey Ford and the 26plus women who have accused chump.

I want to hear what prospective candidates have to say before I make a decision. I want them to clearly list their agenda and I want them to have the balls to get it done.

Yet another state that will be suing the regime.

Ok I am done with that guy.

I think it will come down to the mood of the electorate in the next election cycle and which candidate best conveys their plan to move the country forward. That’s what I will be looking for; someone with a clear agenda that aligns with mine that shows they can make it happen.

Yup he has got to go

This is just murder. We need to stop pretending there is any legitimacy in these strikes. Law enforcement doesn’t just blow up buildings where they think drugs are being stored or sold. They arrest people and those people stand trial. This whole thing is BS.

He needs to go. That has been obvious since early this year but now more than ever.

They are just murdering people without knowing who they are or what they are doing. This is just murder.

Time for a change.

Good call this out for what it is….murder.

This is all true but we forget that the strikes are illegal in the first place which means this whole thing is just straight up murder.

Totally agree. We need new energy in Congress. Time for a change.

Money of course. And all money from these pardons he is selling is going right in his own bank account.
