How can you order a farmer to destroy their trees? I hope he fights in a higher court. Wish I'd heard about the nectarine giveaway. I'd have gone to pick some.

Amid the battle, Mora chose to give away the nectarines he had grown instead of leaving them to rot.

​However, on August 13, a jury at Fresno County Superior Court ruled that the Central Valley farmer did break his contract, although Giumarra was awarded no damages, according to documents obtained by the Fresno Bee.

Mora revealed in a video posted to TikTok that a judge had ruled that his trees had to be destroyed before the trial even began.

this is why they dont want us to own the means of production. all of us are glorified slaves who arent entitled to fucking food.

    It requires execution. Judges prop up this system and feel they are immune for their judgements. They shouldn't be, and honestly should be among the first targeted to show that no one is above getting guillotined.

    Look I hear you, and I am a bit worried that that type of sweeping mandate tends to cut off more than the intended cuts of meat if you know what I mean.

    I do, and it's an unfortunate side effect. But it's one that will happen no matter what if things continue as they are. Keep in mind that this system is killing working class folks in various ways. From death due to low wages and thus starvation/homelessness/overwork, death from fraud such as health insurance denying life saving care or suicide from being in so much pain. Then of course you have Flock creating the basis for open air slave pens, and concentration camps to go along with them. Then of course there is the damage to the planet that the system has upheld that is likely to kill an untold amount of people due to crop failures, heat, our main tradewind dying.

    All while pedophiles run the world and abscond with our children.

    At what point do we start to excise the disease even if some healthy tissue has to be extracted with it?
