    At the cheaper stores in Mass, tomatoes are below $3/lb, and around $2.00 most of the time (on sale) if you are buying the cheapest version...

    Looks like around 60% of all tomatoes consumed in the US are imported, with Mexico accounting for 90% of those imports. US still produces around 1.3 million metric tons, so tariffs on Mexican tomatoes might perhaps encourage US growers to increase production

    people see increased government spending as left wing, for better or worse. No one cares about Marxist theory lol
     
  14. which of these is "increased government spending"

    “We’re gonna back manufacturing jobs “We’re gonna increase private sector investments” “We’re gonna increase jobs and bring down unemployment” “We’re gonna build stuff in America”!!!

    But yeah I wasn’t even calling it left wing and purposely avoiding that argument, hence the first line in my post. i was talking about the big spending initiatives and the fear of future presidents doing that again

    When critiqued on what actually is left wing David always makes the jump to assuming we’re meaning Marxism or socialist revolution for some reason.

    Government spending to build shit is left wing policy, has been throughout our history. But again I wasn’t even commenting on the left winged-ness of it lol. I was simply pointing out that I think future presidents will be afraid to do government spending in huge amounts for fear of causing inflation and getting blamed for it, whether that’s “true” “left wing” spending or Biden’s not-left-wing spending

    We’re about to watch a president do a huge amount of government spending, cause massive inflation, and receive no blame for any of it.

    if you can make peoples live better you should do it and a President who actually did shit to improve people’s lives would be fine

    you know as well as I do that the way this country and the media treats Trump/Repubs far differently than they do Dems.

    I agree that’s what you should do. I’m saying i am fearful they will not going forward for a little bit
