I believe the seaports will still be open. Put the avocados on a boat.
My God this nation is sooo screwed.
I suspect you are right!
Probably depends on where you live
This is a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

So our methane levels would drop sharply in weeks without avocados?
Lets just do it now then. Save the planet and all that bullsh1t.
Plant a tree, and grow your own. Better to wait a while for them to grow, than to possibly die at the hands of illegal aliens.
Actually, I don’t eat avocados anyway, so I could care less...personally speaking.
Oh no! I can imagine the distress in Jeb’s! household...
THE HORROR!
Remember when the options were seasonal vegetables and fruits in the Grocery Store?
How did we survive?
But we have to pay the railroad freight costs for shipping them on the trains across the Pacific Ocean from Hawaii to California. Oh, wait, they haven't been built yet.
And Mexico will not get our rhubarb! So, there!
Aguacates maduros, peos seguros! BTW, this has nothing to do with Venezuela. It’s just a little avocado humor from south of the border.
Well, you convinced me: BUILD THE WALL.
Or we could set American ingenuity on it,
"The heaviest avocado is 2.495 kg (5 lbs 8 oz), and was achieved by Felicidad Pasalo (USA), in Hilo, Hawaii, USA, on 3 January 2018."
Gee, what a tragedy!
Anyone recall what happened when the US blocked all imports from Iran in the 80s? Yep, basically ended all pistachio imports. There was virtually no pistachio production in the US. Horrors, Iran was the major producer for the world.
Then shazam, California developed into a major pistachio producer and then no one gave a good damn about Iran’s nuts.
I don’t need Mexican avocados.
I got my own avocado tree in my backyard, and I get hundreds each year from the one tree. Unfortunately, the tree doesn’t produce year-round,but, I can get by until next avocado season out of my tree.
Otherwise, no avocados for me. I’ll settle for ‘maduros’. Yumm!
In a way they still are seasonal. At least in MI the fruits are really bland and tasteless or a little bitter.
Brilliant trivia I know:
Scientists have figured out that the shape of avocados and their pits are that way to conform to the inside of a mammoth’s mouth and to appeal to their appetities. They evolved so mammoths would leave their pit laden b.m. behind all over the landscape and grow more avocado trees.
Impressed?
Millennial will die in their thousands without their smashed avocado on sourdough and their morning Latte.
