There was a Banana Republic just like ex slaves in America were paid in plantation money. Indentured servitude or 13th amendment. The culture still persists in Panama.

There’s a lot of unrest in my banana region.

…Sorry

Small child: “Grandpa, tell us about the banana wars again!”

Old man: “The year was 2026, that was before 3D-printed food…”

Chiquita can rot in hell

Troubles in the region began a month ago, when the local banana workers union joined a nationwide protest against proposed pension cuts and declared a strike.

In Bocas del Toro, the unrest has been largely led by workers at a Chiquita Brands banana plantation.

Banana workers get pensions these days? Wow Chiquita has really let itself go hasn’t it.

I’m obviously siding with the strikers here. This state of emergency is totally bananas.
