Trump is asking Congress to approve 20% tax on all imports from Mexico to pay for The Wall

Very seldom can we pick avocados. They usually come prebagged in quantities of 5 or 6.

No they don't.

Where I'm from, we get to pick them.

Just swap Corona with Landshark and Tequila with a liqour that doesnt taste like kerosine, i.e., any other liqour.

Im in canada. 9 out 10 they come bagged like this likely because they dont want us to choose.

I dont really know how to pick a good one. I just squeeze them to see if theyre at least a little soft but normally theyre just full of rotten black marks. i have better luck at the costa rican ones.

Lol at not being able to handle tequila.

Exactly my reaction

Because when those Mexican companies start losing much greater than the proposed 20% tax they'll be begging to work out a deal.

or they will sell their products to other countries.

Sure. But first they'll have to find a reliable country to export to, possibly cut prices due to increased competition/lower standing, and not to mention deal with increased shipping costs among many other things.

If that was a viable option why arent they doing that now? The capable output is more than what theyre selling outside the US. Without the US that would drive down prices Mexico could fetch for their goods.

Because Americans commandeer a higher price and thus they take most of the mexican manufacturing capacity.

Lol mexico is not going to pay for that stupid fucking wall.

A trade war with mexico will do nothing but fuck american farmers over.

Yea thats it. 90 proof rum and bourbon all day but tequila messes me up. The $40-50 bottles of tequila taste on par with lowend gin. I wouldnt prefer it over other liqours if it went on permanent sale. I bet Africa can make better spirits.

Damn dude, you're a bad ass! Ooh wee..

I am watching a live interview with mexicos president on bbc right now. I swear either he has huge hsnds or the bbc is trolling trump with the size of his hands

 

[xcvbn]

How is lower sales paying?

Lower profits =/= paying a price? Really?

 

[xcvbn]

And how does that pays for a wall?

Paying can be a literal term but also a metaphor. With Trump you never know what he actually means but you get a pretty good idea.

Mexico seeks closer engagement with China

Mexico will do the same with other markets (EU, LatAm, etc).

They are politically motivated to not pay for Trump's wall.

 

[scorpipede]

You can get vegetables and fruit from literally anywhere

I don't drink beer, much less shitty Mexican beer

>snack foods

lol

 

[Vitor CroCop]

So the American consumer in the end is gonna feel the impact the most. Great.

lmfao. #rekt

Jesus Christ, I've never seen so much bitching about a wall that is going to cover 4 US states. We gave Iran 10 Billion dollars alone but suddenly the "We want free healthcare and college" is complaining about costs.

Free education provides a tangible benefit to society

A wall to nowhere not so much...

If you werent so invested in sucking off the oligarchs you could admit this.
