What's really sad is that Nicholas Tesla's work could be revived and used to help poor people, and everyone else, all over the world, but it is being withheld. Cruelty is so ugly.

There's a guy (one of many!) who has some really interesting technology-- check out Professor Daniel Nocera.

All technology could be used to help the needy, but it is used to extract wealth out of them.

...or to spy on them or kill them. I've been in tech >45 years. I challenge my old tech friends to name a technology that has not been used against Humanity. There are precious few examples.

Thanks, That is Texas Hill Country Red (heirloom) okra with the red stems.

It is the best okra around here.

5 billion with starve if there is a nuclear exchange! and the other 3 billion will have been vaporized. Still, I guess, better starvation as opposed to waiting for the cancers to cut in. The bananas look to be doing well John.

Thanks Red, I'm hoping for a mild winter. The varieties I have include a couple of the most cold tolerant, Namwah and Orinoco. The guy on the other side of Houston, from whom I got a lot of the plants, says he gets bananas from them. Same climate zone.
