After years of telling Americans not to worry about high milk, bread and egg prices, the media is panicking over a threat to their staple: guacamole.

Americans had trouble affording bread and milk

NBC News’s Chuck Todd warned Wednesday that President-elect Trump’s plans for tariffs will likely increase the cost of avocados, calling it a “guacamole tax.”
“If this slaps on, it’s a guacamole tax. We get most avocados in this country … from Mexico. If you enjoy guacamole, be prepared to pay a higher tax for it if these tariffs go through,” Todd told MSNBC’s José Díaz-Balart.
Now maybe I’m a little biased because despite living for nearly a decade in Southern California, I’m not sure why anyone would even eat the stuff, but when your problem is being able to afford guacamole, instead of milk, bread and eggs, you have a coastal elite problem.
California used to produce a whole lot of avocadoes, but since Democrats took over and decided to wipe out the water supply for farmers and destroy dams to create artificial droughts, the avocados either come from Florida or Mexican cartels.
And it’s the Mexican cartel avocados that Chuck Todd and the rest of the media gang are panicking over.
We don’t need cartel avocados and if the price for rebuilding our economy and ending mass migration is more expensive guacamole, that seems like a pretty good deal to me.
I read somewhere (I know it’s not solid evidence) that the avocado industry in Mexico is owned and controlled by the drug cartels. If it’s true, Democrat concern is explained. They love the cartels because they not only bring in drugs, they also smuggle illegal aliens through Mexico. Drug cartels, Democrats…what’s the difference?
Yea , not solid evidence. Even if true, so what? It’s just avocados.
Your not hurting the cartel by not buying avocados. If you really want to damage the cartels, legalize all recreational drugs!
Because it has worked so well in states like Oregon..
Like the idiotic war on drugs has work so well! And it has been so cheap to fight!
Oregon was a half ass effort at decriminalization. Full legalization would mean safe drugs for purchase not laced with fentanyl.
Wow, that did not take long. Trump has not even been sworn in yet and the narrative and criticism has started ad nauseum (again) that absolutely nothing he does is good..
Well, the media didn’t care about milk and egg prices, because that was mostly the Dems fault.
An increase in Avocado prices would be Trumps fault if he imposes those foolish tariffs.
Now it really would be Trump’s fault, but how about the media showing some objectivity? Not holding my breath on it, they are a joke!
As if anybody pays attention to Upchuck Tard. He’s a nobody. If I had a pimple on my ass it would be more popular than him. Not that I have any pimples down there or anywhere else.
WOW Someone has never visited Ventura County. Covered in avocados.
The Central Valley has a lot of avocado orchards too. It pisses me off that supermarkets tend to sell the crappy Mex stuff. Mexico makes good tacos and burritos but all its produce sucks. Don’t get me started on its weird red mangoes and their grainy texture. After eating Balinese mangoes I just can’t eat the Mex shit they sell here. All the mangoes in Indonesia are good but the Balinese ones are the best. AND MANGOES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GREEN, NOT RED!
Hell, there’s a huge avocado tree right next to my apartment but scavengers have picked all “the low hanging fruit” and I don’t have a ladder. Besides, it’s a little known fact that avocados aren’t ripe until they turn black and fall off the trees. That’s why you have to put the ones you buy in a supermarket in a paper bag for a day or two. Don’t buy the soft ones unless you’re dumb. Those ones are rotten.
Yeah, at my brother’s place in Hawaii, there were hundreds of exotic fruit trees that I had never heard of, we could just walk out in the yard in the morning and pick fruit for breakfast 🙂
Across the street was a huge avocado orchard, unfenced. I don’t know who owned it. There were so many avocados on the ground that the mongeese couldn’t eat them all 🙂
Yes, I heard about those mongeese. Mongooses, whatever. Talk about an invasive species. I heard thy’r vicious , Riki Tikiki Tavi, my ass.
The TDS crowd has found their new rallying cry–MAAA!
(Make Avocados Affordable Again)
Guac prices are really difficult to handle if you’re living in your MAAA’s basement.
Guacamole is good in salads.
It’s good on potatoes, too. But you know what’s even better? Guacamole salsa. It isn’t all thick and poopy like. It’s thin, like hot sauce. Heck, it is a kind of hot sauce. I have at least three brands at home. I know you don’t eat eggs but if you did, you’d be in heaven with a little guac sauce on those things. They do have fake eggs. I’ve tried them. That y aren’t as good as the real thing but they’re tasty. Don’t ask me what they’re made out of, though.. Probably soy. All the fake meat seems to be soy or pea based. I prefer the pea stuff.
Thanks, I’ve noticed that online but haven’t tried it yet 🙂
When I first moved from SC to South TX I had never seen guacamole, apparently it doesn’t mix well with grits. I was taken to a Mexican buffet for lunch and I asked what that bowl of green stuff was. My co-worker said it was an Irish dip. I questioned, in a Mexican restaurant? He told me, it was called Gucamora.
It’s good with tortilla chips, isn’t it? I’ve got to hand it to the Mexicans. They know how to eat.
All this gushing (no pun intended) about lavishing on an expensive product like guac, which ordinary folk can’t afford, reeks of white privilege.
Who was the villian James Bond battled who was obsessed with this valuable product? Guacfinger?
Trump’s strategy is brilliant and easy to characterize. His request from Mexico and Canada is to stop the illegal drugs and illegal people flowing over the border. His opening position is a 25 percent tariff.
I can tell you, as I am in Canada, that the government is hyper focused on 1) Solving the problem identified by Trump, 2) Developing a counter position.
Despite the noise of the new Mexican president, I am certain her people are doing the same. Trump’s position is completely rational and will help all three countries improve.
The end point is that there will be negotiation, there will be joint action on the border and on drugs, and business will be BETTER than before.
The art of the DEAL. And, he isn’t even in office yet!
Never mind the 325K missing children who may be slaves, in the sex trade, unwilling organ donors, that is dead. It’s all about the guacamole!
I was just thinking today about the people complaining that closing the open border will result in higher prices for produce because new cheap laborers will be kept out. I was thinking that the US imports lettuce, tomatoes, and avocados from Mexico. Then, why do we need invaders to undercut imports? It is not just cheap farm labor that open borders are intended for. The aim is to cheapen the value of the individual, citizenship, and self government.
Microcosms of the left. People have been worried about the price of meat, dairy, and other basics, and chuck, who can afford whatever he wants, is worried about the price of avocados. Being this much out of touch is a good sign for their defeat.
I used to be amazed at how much of our fruit in Georgia came from California, instead of Florida. Mrs. Crawford, my 5th grade Social Studies teacher, pointed it out to us, and told us about how they wouldn’t let travelers bring fruit across the California state line, and would replace your fruit with theirs. Much of that, she said, was to prevent diseases from spreading to their crops. She also told us about their advanced irrigation system, collecting the water stopped by the Western Rockies. This was about the time Israel was turning the Sinai green.
Chuck Who??
I’ve heard his name. What does he do?
