  • **It does and it doesn’t. **

    I worked in the industry for many years. Theres more spit and handshake agreements than people are aware of. Definitely in the Central Valley. Its a whole industry full of legal loopholes. Licensing crops can be as easy as a written signature with one page to whole multi-company rights etc…etc…

    Also growers/transportation/storage/etc… are sometimes all the same multi-conglomerate and with the same owner. But have a different business license/business. That way, if one gets sued only one goes down. Also one can have a huge tax related issue and have “losses”. Lots of creative work there.

    So yeah its not black and white as most people think. Significant amounts of your food is both licensed with a huge agreement…and others are “unlicensed” but licensed as a spit/handshake. Mellons are a perfect example.

    Dont get me started on the commodities markets…and onions.




  • A while back Fedora and Nvidia had a war in my desktop. My graphics card kept needing special drivers. And Fedora would do an update, break the drivers and I would have to pop into the command line to fix the issue. It went on for a good 6 months until I just switched distros. And never had the issue again. It was something that sat in an issue tracker for a LONG time from last time I bothered to look.

    Fedora was great dont get me wrong, but debian and debian based distros make it so easy I never looked back.
