The pacific island with the highest tariffs is #Fiji with 32% US tariffs being imposed on Fiji exports.

Besides tourism it is believed Fiji has received the high tariffs due to the volume of Fiji Water sold in US. Incidentally, Fiji Water is owned by US conglomerate The Wonderful Company who also unlawfully owns most of LA’s water supply to feed their industrial avocado and pistachio nut farms.

Shame on you Safeway for deceptive sale prices!

Figi water at Safeway right now shows it's $6.99... but if you read the exceptionally tiny print below the price tag, it says you also have to buy a certain brand of pistachio nuts to get the deal. Otherwise you're likely getting charged $9.49.

Now Safeway normally runs a "deal" on Figi water every other month or so for $6.99, otherwise you pay $9.49 (although it has gone higher at $9.99)

The true price of the product is around $7

Lucky's sells Figi water normally for $6.99 and Target $7.99, although both have had sales discounting it further.

It's never truly on sale at Safeway. It's just overpriced and they make you jump through hoops sometimes to make you feel like you achieved a deal, when they're simply giving you the actual price.

This multi-combination buy is just shameful.

They do the same with Pepsi and Coke products.

This is why I avoid buying beverages at Safeway.

You have to look closely at deals and read the tiny tiny print at the bottom

Alex Persaud shows that a 1911 criminalization of select castes in Madras imposed new restrictions and reduced the share of indentured labourers returning home from Fiji at the end of their contracts.

Looking back one more time at the closing plenary of #COP29 a week ago.

The representative of #Fiji said:
"We came here to make up for lost time. We came here to re-establish hope. But we have been continuously asked to ignore our needs, close our eyes, and step backwards. We will not entertain that request. We may be small, but in that smallness we represent the many, we represent the risk and the reality of a crisis that knows no bounds."
