Paraguay stopped selling bananas to Argentine importers due to unpaid imports and racking debts.
The Argentine Central Bank is responsible to convert ARS to USD for all import requests but has consistently been proritizing only importers which are friends of the ruling government, while those who aren't continue to wait for months on end as debts continue to stack and more suppliers deny new stock deliveries until their debts are paid.

One morning, on a whim, he attached polygraph electrodes to a Dracaena plant in his office. He watered it and watched the tracing. Then he thought: "I wonder what would happen if I threatened this plant." He decided to burn a leaf with a match.
The instant he formed the intention — before he moved, before he lit the match, before any ...
