I’ve done way more research into growing crops by actually growing crops.

We have produce in our grocery stores year round because we are able to import them from various microclimates as they ripen. Without imports, it would be impossible to have that same year round coverage of so many different crops. For instance, lettuce can’t be grown anywhere in the continental US in hot months like July and August. They bolt and get bitter in the heat. We might be able to grow lettuce in California or Florida in the winter, but not in large enough quantities to supply the salad and sandwich needs of the entire country.

And it would take an incredible number of greenhouses to fill the needs of the entire country, and they still wouldn’t solve all problems. You said yourself that we already produce half the produce we require, so if growing crops year round is so easy with greenhouses and such, why arent we already supplying ALL of our crops? Surely it would be cheaper, easier, and more profitable to grow them right here rather than importing them, so why aren’t we doing it?

What about fruit, which is often grown on trees, and can’t be grown in greenhouses? You can’t make an apple tree produce fruit outside of their normal harvest season. I live in Florida, and pass orange orchards every day. They have one harvest season, and that’s it. If we want oranges in the off season, they have to be imported.

Temperature isnt even the primary issue in growing crops, although it is very important. The amount of daylight is the bigger factor. Crops flower and produce their fruit or vegetables based on the light cycle. The lettuce I mentioned earlier doesn’t bolt and produce seeds (ruining the plant for eating) because its hot, it is responding to the long daylight hours. You can’t change the way the Earth revolves around the sun and wobbles on its axis, so you would have to grow indoors under lights. That’s what weed growers do, but weed is a much higher yield plant that can be grown in much smaller indoor facilities. You couldn’t grow enough indoor off-season tomatoes or watermelons to supply the entire nation.

Without imports, it is simply impossible to supply a steady supply of produce year round, using only the climate of the continental US, even with greenhouses. Without imports, it is simply a fact that our grocery stores will be full of some produce for a few months of the year, scarce in others, and non-existent for several months. Prices will fluctuate wildly. We will be forced to rely on inferior canned vegetables, although many canned brands are imported from other nations, like tomatoes.

Then there are those regional crops, that are almost exclusively grown elsewhere, and not even grown in the US, like many spices and herbs.

You sound like HitlerPig, going on and on defending your impossible scheme that is based entirely on your own imaginary and ignorant ideas, no matter how much evidenc and experience contradicts it.

They can grow lettice and tomatoes in California, but not year round. You obviously have never had a large vegetable garden or worked on a farm. You can’t grow tomatoes in California in the winter. You can’t grow lettuce in the high summer.

Even more importantly, you can’t stagger their harvest times to have a harvest for every crop every week or month. All vegetables have their optimum season, based on length of day, temperature, rainfall, humidity, etc. You can’t simply short circuit nature to suit your demands. Without imports from Central and South America, we will go months without seeing many crops.

And yes, bananas will be more expensive, and so will many other crops. That’s the entire point of why people are upset about this - nearly EVERYTHING is going to up.

Many migrant farm workers arent illegal, they are here on agricultural work visas.

And even if they were illegal, how does that translate to slavery or indentured servitude? Those are involuntary, with little or no pay, and no personal agency. They are OWNED.

Migrant farm workers get paid, that’s why they go to all the trouble to do it. When the harvest season ends, they go back home to their families, or the move on to next crop. They are NOT owned by anyone.

That’s not how agriculture works. If ALL your produce has to come from America you will not have things like tomatoes or lettuce or bananas every month of the year.

Besides, who’s going to pick the crops?

Good luck buying fresh vegetables in the winter, most of which come from the Southern Hemisphere. You can’t just move the cultivation of off season crops to America.

Many, many things can’t be created here, and we have things that other countries can’t create. The world has spent decades working out a complex network of trade agreements so that everybody gets what they need, while benefitting their economies.

Then this buffoon staggers into the room, destroying this delicate balance because he has a breath-taking level of mental illness that deludes him into thinking he is genuinely smarter than anyone else in the world, especially knowlegable economists. He alone has conceived of this innovative tariff strategy that literally nobody else has ever considered, and he is pathologically convinced he is 100% correct.

His ignorance and mental illness is going to cause massive upheavals across the entire globe, and cause great suffering and death. It is not worth it because of a misguided hope for a few thousand jobs.

Giving her the credit for firing a bunch of people was her price for his latest blowie.

Those penguins have been ripping us off for years, and its going to end!

Putin. Its always Putin, using Skum and HitlerPig as his muscle.

When will people truly internalize that the two biggest foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs, have partnered up with the most prolific traitor in American history? None of them have any loyalty or patriotism toward America, and only see us as a big, rich, fat, lazy target to be ruthlessly exploited and looted, and it’s happening in real time before our eyes.

All teligions are pretty weird, but Scientology and Mormon are weirdness on an entirely different level.

Eventually, this country is going to look like Nazi Germany more than it doesn’t. We’ll be lucky if its only policies like ideology and censorship, but it will almost certainly include incarceration of political enemies, torture, and mass murder. You can just tell by how giddy they are that they can’t wait to do their worst.

HitlerPig’s old man was a notorious and famous racist, who ran afoul of the Federal government many times for his openly racist rental polices. Woody Guthrie even wrote a song about him.

Gee, it’s almost like some hostile foreign leader had paid him a few billion dollars to destroy America, but that’s ludicrous, right? Right?

We’re already expanding our own Black Site.

America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 prisoners. The largest, Angola, LA, holds over 8000.

Our most famous black site, Guantanamo Bay, located in CUBA (WTF?), currently holds about 120. They are now building a facility there, that will hold 30,000 prisoners. That’s nearly 4 times our largest prison, which is already about 8 times larger than average.

The question is: Who do they intend to put in that new facility, which is far from any oversight by the media or the courts. It’s in fucking Cuba, which is controlled by…well, you get it.

I was a victim of the recent Reddit bloodbath, with a 12 year/ 900K+ karma account. Clearly, they reviewed my high-volume posting account, and they know how I feel about them, and the punishments they have earned. I expect that at some point, there is a pretty good chance I’ll be getting a free vacation to Cuba.

Why would I out our undercover agents?

When there is a war, HitlerPig will definitely have a draft, if for no other reason that he will think its amusing to watch people get pissed off about it. At his core, he is a Troll.

Nothing is more evil than a draft, when the government literally enslaves young men to be forced to kill or be kill.

And it will be young men, these Neanderthals will want the young girls to stay behind so the Sociopathic Oligarchs have the pick of the tenderonis without the competiton of young men. Skum has all the money in the world, and he still can’t find a loving partner, even if he wants to buy one. The only way hes been able to have DNA Storage Units/ Human Shields, is by renting wombs. Maybe if we kill off all the young men under 30 years old, he can find a desperate young woman to be his concubine.

I will state this unequivocally: My son will NEVER take part in any MAGA war. At least, not on their side.

And if HitlerPig decides to skip the concept of a draft system, and resorts to the Russian style of draft, and have press gangs driving around in trucks, literally snatching men off the streets, and they get my son (or they ship him off to the new Guantanamo Concentration Camp), I will have nothing left to lose, and I will become a VERY dangerous man indeed.

By replacing all the experienced, knowledgeable people with blind loyalists, they have given the Resistance the gift of competence. When the revolution comes, the resistance will have intelligent, competent, experienced people to lead them against the idiotic MAGA Nazis.

In addition, there are thousands of good people still working there, who are proud of their work with the government, and hate what has happened to their leadership, their colleagues, and their agencies. Those people will be ripe for recruitment as moles, leaks, sabotage, etc., while the MAGA Nazis will only have ignorant dolts to count on.

It won’t matter if they have the big weapons, if the people they are counting on to operate them turn them against the government, or destroy them in advance.

It only came out in 2023, and it’s already been recalled 8 times.

I wonder what his expert source, Ron Varo thinks of this?

There have been lots of shocking Mormon murders over the years. Who would have thought that having the sort of mind that could accept such a bizarre fantasy as truth, would be a mind twisted enough to commit weird religious murders?

MAGAs often are missing teeth anyway, this just helps them maintain their brand image.

“You wanted me to fire who? Oh sorry, i got that wrong, i fired that MAGA nepo-baby who was so incompetent, and now the person you want me to fire is doing that job, and we ccan’t have it be empty. I’ll tell you what. Give me a week or two to find a replacement, and I’ll fire…who was that again?”
