Tomatoes and asparagus are OK, but don't mess with my avocados dammit!

Doug Schoen hired her????
Whatever for????
I cannot abide that woman!
She is VERY HARD to look at and IMPOSSIBLE to listen to!
How she EVER got a job in broadcasting is beyond my ken!
If she shows up on a program I am watching - immediate click to something else!
Point for Team Miller!
The tariffs are only bad news for people who sell Chicom crapola.
Illegal aliens cost taxpayers $155 BILLION a year directly and untold costs in deaths, undercut wages, illegal drugs smuggled in, etc.
And the donkey urine the Mexicans call beer
What happened to California avocados?
If the guacamole industry went belly up, it’d be a great opportunity to get into some urban farming, where they take old warehouses and turn them into giant indoor grow houses. Start those up, around the country and start supplying all the tex-mex restaurants and cut the mexican’s out of that market, we’ll see some sh*t start happening.
I think there are more than a handful of products and industries that currently come out of Mexico, that could easily be done in the US.
Yep - them and the concern trolls who echo Chicken Little....the Trump economy is strong enough to withstand the “application of leverage” President Trump has opted for in the face of a do-nothing Congress...
If you wanted to go back to that you would have to place a 250% tariff on every item imported.
A small import tariff is not going to make any industry or ag product go “belly up”.
For the short term , sure it will be a little bitter but for the long run ,these tariffs all have lasting ,positive effects on the US economy if they accomplish the goals they are intended to, which imho they will. These countries like China and Mexico will talk tough but fold eventually. Anyone ways otherwise is kinda clueless. If you think these tariffs will hurt the US ,think about what damage they have on the shithole countries theyve been slapped on.
A small one, NO.
I’m just thinking that if the Mexican’s feel like playing games, which they can ill afford, or the border just gets shut down completely, which it should, there’s always a way to make up the difference.
My (little) joke.
Several months ago we tried temporarily closing the border but people got upset, saying that the avocado market would tank and the price would go through the roof.
It was an absurd thing to focus on (of all the things possibly affected) so I thought it an appropriate mock-worthy rallying cry.
