And vineyards. Nancy Pelosi is the most prominent of the politicans that own vineyards. They also use them to host donor events.
Vineyards in California are
only viable because it is so dry there is no disease pressure you basically don't need to spray pesticides. Go take a look at Texas Hill Country guidelines, it only gets worse the further east you go. If you go find some native Muskadines (Been moved from grape genus
Vitus due to different chromosome no but I digress) and compare the skin to a european grape, they have a thick sheet of laminated paper like skin versus the extremely thin skinned
Vitis selections. Guess which one does well versus disease?
Almonds I'll offer some counter-argument. The whole "Gallon per nut/seed" is not appropriate and you should be measuring by water deficit per growing season/ or acre-inch per a season if you're monocropping. Hint: You need usually above 40+ acres to break even.
In California the only reason shit is viable is because its so dry, the quality is much better than anywhere else, for example Georgia and Texas have
much higher disease issues. This advantage is currently being shrunk by introduced diseases (fucking idiots in Colorado and Cali again), lack of water (because Cali politics retarded), and labor issues (H-2A visas not being issued enough, not that doesn't stop Wetbacks from crossing illegally).
Update to the Shanghai rumor: Turns out there was a "lockdown" where they would force the workers to sleep in a factory without facilities for sleeping, Slav CSGO rushed the facilities entrances and in a display of proletariat camaraderie, left no man behind by beating the guards.
I'm 95% sure its referring to the Quanta factory in Shanghai. They make Apple products. Original source lost but here is a copy from twatter:

This video appears to be cut versus the original. If anyone can find original please post.
Translation of video:
Top left: "Sourced from civilian internet"
(Man at beginning) "Wow, even the police cannot control (this)!
Woman: "[sic] you hear me? Let go!"
Muffled guard noises
Woman repeatedly screams "let go!"
The woman is not native to Shanghai, her accent gives it away. Sounds like a Northerner based on accent. Not Beijing, Tianjing, most likely Hebei (The guard is local). Zhengzhou from Henan also possible due to proximity. Shandong unlikely due to accent intonation.
