They can grow lettice and tomatoes in California, but not year round.

Of course they can, ever heard of greenhouses?

Also, places like the Imperial Valley have ideal growing climate throughout the winter and crank out a massive amount of produce.

You should really do a bit more research before posting such nonsense.

I thought having a national identity was racist, and now you’re saying we don’t have enough of it?

You think they can’t grow lettuce or tomatoes in California?

And bananas will still be available, they’ll just be more expensive.

Also, if your economy relies on illegal immigrants to harvest your crops, how is that any better than slavery? It’s basically indentured servitude.

Most of the southern states are warm enough to grow veggies year-round. California alone supplies like half of the US’s produce.

But US companies cannot make everything in the US. The industrial base was off-shored.

Sure they can, they just won’t, because it’s cheaper to make in China. And that’s the whole point of the tariffs, to level the playing field and make US manufacturing more competitive.

And who is going to buy all this US made stuff?

Americans of course. The US is still the biggest market in the world.

Companies whose products are entirely made in the U.S. could benefit: “At least in the short term, employment would likely rise there, because those folks will see more demand,” says Holzer. That could mean cumulative hikes of tens of thousands or even a few hundred thousand jobs added in the next three or four months, he says.

This is the entire point of the tariffs.

Also, I’m not entirely sure why they put the short-term qualifier there. In fact, it would seem that companies who make everything in the US would stand to benefit long-term, and also that more companies will invest in domestic production, which will create more jobs in the long run.

We learn from history that we do not learn from history.

He was a conman

What does that matter if Stalin fell for it? Again, it was Stalin who put him in the position where he could do all that damage.

Who put Lysenko in a position of power?

As I said earlier, neither Mao or Stalin were aiming for a famine

So that makes it okay? "Sorry bro, I just killed 6 million people but it wasn't on purpose"
