The U.S. government said Monday it is immediately placing a 17% duty on most fresh Mexican tomatoes after negotiations ended without an agreement to avert the tariff.
Make tomato’s great again!
mean while kicking farmers out? good luck
How fast do these idiots think the tomatoes grow anyway?
Ok… What field do i have to go to so i can harvest them myself… Since there is no one to harvest them for me?
The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit—and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country.
that fills me with wrath, towards… grapes
Meanwhile tomatoes rot on the vine on U.S. farms because ICE has deported most workers and the rest are too frightened to show up. Plus, pay is far too low to actually attract American workers.
That’s some real 10-dimensional thinking, there.
they just don’t want the tomato’s thrown at them when they are locked in the stocks. same with eggs.
Want people to eat more US tomatoes? Maybe try making them taste good instead of just growing the tomato equivalent of iceberg lettuce because it keeps for weeks and “looks good”
This is gonna go well
Does he think the tomatoes are made like in the factory or something? Does he understand that it takes time to grow tomatoes?
The old cunt has probably never seen a tomato that hasn’t already been mushed into the “sauce” he puts on his well done steak.
… while at the same time raiding local farms
The best way for this regime to be stupider. is to stay awake for more hours
Well I guess it’s time to just not eat tomatoes during the off season.
American tomatoes would probably be smeared in e coli. Be careful out there my US friends.
At this point I have a difficult time trusting any tomatoes I don’t grow myself.
Who is going to grow them? Disabled people? Also, lots of luck speed growing tomatoes.
Probably, if RFK jr. gets his way with his health farms.
The prisoners from the concentration camps will be leased back to the farmers.
Exactly the plan. Which is why private prisons have to be Bastille’d.
There are means to do this!
It’s called…lots and lots of artificial fertilizer…
Nope. Doesn’t work that way at all. Hot soil can speed up tomatoes, but not fertilizer.
have you tried adding more sun?
the world been working on that for decades and decades
As ICE kills a man on a tomato farm in California
At least he learned that tariffing all the products, including those which you can’t produce domestically, is not the brightest idea
All while deporting as many farm workers as they can get their hands on. The US is headed for a self-inflicted famine.
The US is headed for a self-inflicted famine.
America gets what they voted for.
You know it was always one of the big points that got brought up in hypothetical WW3 scenarios that the US has enough food to support itself even if it went totally isolationist. Kind of incredible that they found a way to fuck up one of their greatest advantages.
Are americans to good to work their own farms? What is it about americans that makes them incapable of manual labor?
The system is not profitable. People are not willing to pay the actual costs of food. They are happy to have a slave class however.
The farmers don’t pay a wage that covers housing and food in the United States.
Don’t worry, it won’t be long before they stop deporting them and instead force them to work on farms as slave labor. Maybe with somr promise that work will make them free or something.
don’t worry, they’ll blame someone else
Why would Obiden do this?
O’Biden? First the Irish claim Obama, now Biden 😄
