really, why did he want to destroy Kodak?
what had Kodak ever done to him?

why are people so mean?

Polluting the environment. (They are THE worst one in America while overcharging everyone for their products)

Remember when it was super expensive to take a picture of something?
Now it's a nothing...
That was because Kodak had the lock on cameras, the film, the paper, and the processing chemicals. They lost it on the cameras but still held the supreme power on the rest until Fuji showed up with film.

Then there's the clear cases of polluting the environment. They lost so many employees to cancer and other pollution related diseases it was an embarrassment. But they had a great team of lawyers that kept them from ever going to court over it. They once we're the blueprint for how to avoid responsibility of litigation while creating more brown sites than anyone else in America.

That's why He targeted them....and his wife did die from cancer. He blamed Kodak for it. I am thinking that he had more good reasons for that.

Tomatoes contain vitamin c and grow on a Vine so they are a fruit and not a vegetable...they almost made a variety of citrus.

It was the concentration of vitamin c and sugars together (as well as the vine thing). That makes them qualify as a fruit...

Fruit of the vine (as it were).

Sure...peas and green beans grow on vines but sugars and vitamin c content makes them legumes.

Pumpkins are squash.

Polaroid successfully sued Kodak for patent infringement in 1988 and Kodak was ordered to pay $909 million. In February of 2012, Kodak announced that it planned to phase out its dedicated capture devices business – comprising digital cameras, pocket video cameras and digital picture frames. People were unhappy, too, in 2009 when Kodachrome was discontinued, and photo labs were unhappy when Kodak decided to not just manufacture and sell photographic paper and materials, but directly compete with the businesses they catered to. As someone who worked in the photo industry my entire working adult life until retirement two years ago, I can tell you I was disgusted with them as a company when they introduced the disc camera and promoted it as a replacement to and better than 35mm. Those cameras lasted all of abut six years before they were deep sixed. Before that happened, though, I got callouses on the palms of my hands from cracking the discs open in the darkroom :LOL:

I have been told tomatoes are a fruit because they have seeds, also... but cucumbers
and other vine-grown things like pumpkins, squash, and zucchini also have seeds...

It is interesting (and this just came to mind) that the bulk of what we eat of fruit and veggies? Is called flesh, or meat. :oops::giggle:

Speaking of tomatoes Ketchup was originally made in China with fermented fish. After being imported to multiple cultures it was eventually made with tomatoes by hienz and the final name Ketchup stuck.

KISS (the band) does NOT stand for Knights in Satan's Service. That was evangelicals lying. The band let it go because they thought it was good publicity. They were right it was.

Crocodiles don't age. They keep growing and growing until they die of disease, accidents, or starvation.
I wanna know their anti-aging secrets! :unsure::ROFL:

Radishes and celery juice are nutrition packed super foods. Radishes protect the immune system, liver & gall bladder health, digestion, helps regulate the metabolism, blood circ, reduces blood pressure, treats cancers, aids in healthy cardiovascular and on n on. Celery & celery juice just as impressive with bountiful nutrients such as 12 known antioxidant compounds, aids in reducing inflammation (the underlying cause of many diseases), and a write-up a page long one of the cooks at my church turned us on to. It's like she discovered gold or something she is so impressed with these 2 simple examples of God's provision and I can see why
BTW, this is only useless information if you don't use it, 😂.
