🇵🇾 🍌 🇦🇷
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.

🇭🇷🍌🚫🇦🇷 — Paraguay suspended its banana exports to Argentina amid its claim for unpaid imports by the country
🍌 The measure was decided by various production entities in Paraguay, emphasizing that they cannot continue covering the costs of sending the fruit without receiving payment. The chamber that groups fruit importers clarified that if the shipment stop is for a couple of days, there would be no shortages.
"The supply will be reestablished when the transfers and corresponding payments for the outstanding invoices are made effectively. Current operational costs represent 40% of the product's cost. These costs must be paid in cash to export."
🍌 In this context, as this outlet learned, a delegation of five producers arrived from Bolivia to demand the Argentine government to pay $14 million for the bananas imported from that country. Argentina owes only these two countries $23 million, while the debt with Ecuador, where most of the fruit comes from, has not been disclosed yet.

BEER BASED VACCINES — They will stop at nothing...
Pushing biotechnology pharmakeia into the masses via any Trojan horse imaginable.
"He has just consumed what may be the world’s first vaccine delivered in a beer. It could be the first small sip toward making vaccines more palatable and accessible to people around the world."
A virologist brewed beer with engineered yeast producing virus-like particles. He drank a pint daily for five days (plus "boosters" ), his family joined in, and indeed, their bodies produced antibodies.
Now he's eyeing "vaccine beers" for COVID, bird flu, HPV cancers... and even non-alcoholic yeast snacks.
I usually say "Grow Your Own," but hey — if it's your thing — Brew Your Own too...

⚖️ 🇺🇸 🏛 He Who Decides the Exception: Trump Should Disregard the Supreme Court’s National Guard Ruling
⬛️ Judicial overreach mustn’t be permitted to trample the public necessity.
🔶️ The Supreme Court has again reminded the country that, in the American system, the judiciary can halt executive action with the stroke of a pen—this time keeping in place a lower-court order blocking President Trump’s attempt to federalize and deploy National Guard forces to protect besieged immigration enforcement operations in and around Chicago.
🔶️ The point was that a republic cannot outsource its highest political judgments to a tribunal without hollowing out self-government. Put those threads together—Cicero’s salus populi, Aquinas’ equity, Locke’s prerogative, Hamilton’s executive energy, Jefferson’s coordinate construction, Jackson’s independence, Lincoln’s warning—and you get a tradition that modern progressives and libertarians alike often deny ...
