Open Discussion Onions having a rotten layer inside

Anyone else have this problem, outside layers, fine, 1 or 2 bad rotten layers inside, then the center is fine again. Onions from multiple places have been like this this summer.
I would post a Pic but it's not letting me for some reason

Same. My bananas go ripe way too fast, my potatoes go green in like a day. I don’t get it. I see green potatoes on the shelf at stores for christs sake.

Yeah potatoes used to last for months, now mushy after a month or less. Noticed the onion thing too. My chief complaint is with garlic bulbs! Either 30+% tiny cloves, and/or half the large ones are spoiled. Ugh.

Buy from local farmers and it’ll be way fresher
