Haha, it's good to keep COVID scared by letting it know you've had much more dangerous substances inside your body in the past 😁. My hometown has unfortunately been in decline since the 1980s, when I was born. You're right about ASEAN small business, because I know a few Cambodian communities in the USA, and they still do microbusiness from home even though it's technically illegal in the USA. Everything from nails and haircutting to restaurants all exist illegally underground in Cambodian communities in the USA, I'd love to see this economy some day.
Here 95% of the corn is for livestock, and there are different laws regulating how much pesticides and chemicals you can use these crops, and also change the DNA more too. Funny, we won't allow this for corn to be eaten by humans, but we will allow it to be fed to animals that we we eat, silly I realize. This is why American meet and dairy products are illegal in many countries around the world.
