It’s ridiculous how good golden beets taste like
(just add some salt and oil, e.g. avocado oil, wrap in aluminum foil and roast in oven at 350°F for 75 minutes)

Can't help but wonder if politicians in Aotearoa are pondering the wisdom of selling off all our food processing (and timber, dairy, aluminium, etc.) to foreign corporations... Given that they can 'increase shareholder value' by moving production to places where they don't have to care for pollution or workers rights, it means we lose fundamental production capabilities to the detriment of the entire population.

The blue origin explosion used the same amount of c02 as recycling 8.5 million aluminum cans.
The USA uses 100 billion aluminum cans a year. Of which 46 billion are recycled which saved 5,500 blue origin explosions a year.

Just popped into my head - a memory of an evening, lit but not bright: I was walking and suddenly came face-to-"face' with a person in full Klu Klux Klan regalia, with pointed hood. He was much taller than I am. And as he looked down on me he was slapping an aluminum baseball bat into his palm. Scary? You betcha!!
There's more to the story...
