Colombia Convicts Chiquita Brands Executives for Funding Paramilitaries After 17 years of litigation, Colombia convicts seven executives of Chiquita Brands for financing paramilitaries between 1997 and 2004.

I love fruits 🍍🍌but you would never see me buying anything from Chiquita.

Why?

Chiquita Brands financed death squads in Colombia to protect their banana-growing operations. Their money fueled the capacity of a terrorist group responsible for the most horrible crimes during the Colombian conflict.

It depends. Oxygen content on the ocean changes with depth but is also dependent on other physical, chemical, and biological factors. oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/facts/omz.html but in general you could say yes, the deep ocean is more oxygenated
