Can't face life if it means no Avocados...

If the Donald closes the border we'll have to do without
Avocados - at least, that's what they tell us.
How many of us will succumb if we're denied access to
that lovely green thingy with the huge pit ?
Trump should close the border, and
May should Brexit even without an agreement.
As they say, "Get it done"

Which Mexico will he close off the border from? I heard there are three now?

US Avocados are just . as good . and we have plenty of agave cacti . to make tequila .

But who will pick them?

[dogtag]

More to the point, who will drink it ?

Well, it's just as good as a gasoline and rubbing alcohol cocktail.

So who needs avocados ?

I know I'll get blasted by the local Political Correctness Police, but I could live a loooooong time and never eat an avocado.

People with refined palates. It's about the perfect food.

I like avocados with a little mayo but I'd rather do w/o them rather than being flooded with Mexicans. An awful small price to pay if that was all there was to it. Now the news media is showing strawberries also insinuating there will be a shortage of them too. We grow strawberries all over the U.S. and as mentioned above we grove avocados here as well. In South Florida we grow the large green pears, not the small wrinkled nearly black ones.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe we can grow most anything here except coffee, tea and bananas mostly because of the lack of land and farms.

I would think bananas could do ok in Fla. Ala. or GA. Takes quite a while for them to bear fruit

The thought of no tea to an Englishman is truly frightening.

[dryheat]

Who'll pick the lettuce? I guess we do without lettuce. Or spend the kind of time we do on education to formulate a coherent plan to allow a required amount of immigrants in. I'm not totally anti-immigrant I'm anti chaotic floods of people.

You are probably right, if you are referring to Florida.

Tea is grown in South Carolina, and coffee, tea and bananas are all grown in Hawaii. After the Green New Deal is accomplished we can bring them to the mainland by solar trucks over the bridge, since all carbon fuels will be banned. If they don't build the bridge I guess we are back to windjammers and tea clippers.

More and more machines are being developed to replace people in many tasks. Low skilled/educated people will be needed less and less in the future for tasks that machines will do. What will society need/want to do with them then? Many are looking for a free ride, why oblige them? Kids go to school not wanting to learn, just goof off. Many kids feel that by neglecting studies and excelling in sports will be their ticket to $$$, in reality chasing a balloon being blown by a fickle wind.
