Shipping from Mexico isn't very far, fyi. Mexico is closer to the entire southern and western US than those areas are to New England. To be clear, I support eating/buying local at every opportunity, but as international trading partners go, shipping from Mexico is about as efficient as can be.
Hydroponics and indoor farming add significant cost, also
Given that tomatoes suffer when nighttime temperatures start going below 55°F (13°C), there is pretty much nowhere in the continental US where they can be grown successfully year-round without some sort of environmental control or protection.
I can't wait to buy American tomatoes in the fucking winter, after the tomato growing season is over.
I don't know if I'd frame it as being "used," but this person is clearly toxic. He's miserable all the time and is trying to bring you down with him. He'd probably do that to anyone who lets him. Don't let him.
If you want to remain in his life in some capacity, you can put up strict boundaries, e.g. the conversation ends if he insults you or anything about you, and there is to be absolutely no "comforting" if he complains, and you should require he go to therapy. Alternatively, you could just stop seeing him entirely.
Yeah I usually at least try to read an article I comment on, but not in this case lmao

The comments on that YouTube video make me want to vomit
Tesla has almost half the market cap of Alphabet. Think about how many different products and revenue streams Google has, in addition to a fully functional self-driving car business already. Compare this to Tesla, selling cars and batteries (and seemingly giving up on these products), and being way behind competitors in developing a self-driving car service.
Can you name some examples of what you're watching where this happens? You might like JCS Criminal Psychology on YouTube, he covers forensic interviews and goes into detail on how both the interviewer and interviewee act.
It's actually really delicious
When someone says "billionaires," you can go ahead and include in that figure all those whose net worth is between 8 and 12 digits
