    Hey! USA Avocado industry would be thriving if Mexico wasn’t shipping all theirs in without a tariff.

    But a sable genius once said. “What we have is a thing called the gasoline. We have gasoline. We have so much gasoline, we don’t know what to do. They don’t have gasoline. So why are we making a product that they dominate? They’re going to dominate.”

    This was in reply to the question “How are you going to bring down the cost of food and groceries?”.

    I think you can apply the same logic here. “What we have is a thing called the corn. We have corn. We have so much corn, we don’t know what to do. They don’t have corn. So why are we making a product [avocados] that they dominate? They’re [Mexico] going to dominate.”
