peterfoster+FollowWhy Mangoes Might Cost More This YearEver wondered why your favorite mangoes are pricier or harder to find?

Some are leaving fruit on the trees because it’s not even worth the cost to harvest. Less fruit means higher prices at the store, so your summer smoothie might get a little more expensive! Climate quirks are hitting everyone’s wallet, not just farmers. #Business #Industry #FoodPrices10Share

Kristin Shaw+FollowWhy Your Groceries Might Cost More SoonFarmers are having a rough year—think higher prices for seeds and fertilizer, plus crazy interest rates on loans. Over 250 farms have filed for bankruptcy, almost double last year’s pace. And with ICE raids making it harder to find workers, it’s no wonder your grocery bill could go up. So, next time you see higher prices at the store, remember: it’s not just inflation, it’s a farm crisis behind the scenes. #Business #Industry #FarmLife5339Share

Brooke Martin+FollowWhy Oil Isn’t Going Anywhere SoonHere’s a hot take for your next coffee break: While everyone’s talking about going green, countries like the UAE, Iraq, Brazil, and even Norway are quietly ramping up oil production. The UAE is aiming for 5 million barrels a day by 2027, and Brazil’s Petrobras is pouring billions into new oil fields. Why? Because oil still pays the bills, and these countries aren’t ready to let go of that cash cow just yet. If you’re watching gas prices or thinking about energy stocks, keep an eye on these moves—they could mean cheaper fill-ups or new investment opportunities. #Business #Industry #OilBoom114Share
Kristin Shaw+FollowDelta’s Sneaky Engine Swap HackDelta just pulled a fast one to dodge those annoying plane tariffs! Instead of paying extra for new Airbus jets from Europe, they’re yanking the engines off those waiting planes and shipping them to the U.S. to fix grounded jets here. Since the engines are made in the U.S., no tariff drama. The result? More Delta flights up and running, and a clever workaround for a silly rule. Who knew airplane parts could be this exciting? #Business #Industry #DeltaAirlines143Share
