Tomatoes and other crops got decimated by monsoon right?

Why not say it as it is? Why the need for such PR bullshit?

because a lot of adults in the modern world need everything spoonfed to them like children

Pretty sure all of India knows why. Tomatoes have been fucked for a while now over there. Does everyone need to have a constant reminder than things suck? Like who cares if they’re having fun with it. Do you want an exact “we will not offer tomatoes until the price drops from 7¢ to 3¢ a tomato or lower.”? Like, lol. Plus saying Vacation means they’re coming back eventually also, so it’s not even bad messaging.
