Taxonomy

In the most recent taxonomy of the AP Web system, this subfamily has been downgraded to a tribe, Medeoleae, within the subfamily Lilioideae. [2]

The taxon includes two genera;

gollark: Food will have nonzero value as long as there are biological humans? Sure. SIGNIFICANT value? No.
gollark: You could also just directly sell goods/services to people, which may turn out to be a more money-efficient use of time.
gollark: Anyway, in case of general good situations, I would get slightly more money. In case of market crashes, I would lose a bit but, at worst, still have bank account money available. In case of civilizational collapse, oh well, I probably have other issues.
gollark: The thing this conversation propagated from.
gollark: Gamestop.
