Meanwhile, one may buy as many green peppers as one wishes at Walmart for 69 cents, thus, throwing a wrench in FR’s gloom-and-doom, stupid-ass cult conspiracy that we’re all gonna die.

“Imagine the numbers of farmers that would start growing tomatoes at 5 dollars a tomato, for example.”

Imagine also the number of people willing to pay that $5 compared to the supply.

About 90% of such tomatoes grown would rot in the field because vendors would buy only about 10%.

I agree with you but at least Trump spent his money on Americans, esp the lower classes. Biden spends his money on Wars and windmills.

I’m in Florida and I’m looking forward to eating my tomatoes.

``````````````````````````````````````````

Florida home grown tomatoes are fine, I’m sure but the ones they mass grow to sell here in fly over country are worthless.

All uniform sized, uniform bright red and with the consistency of a boiled potato. thick skinned and utterly tasteless.
