You will be very surprised with the amount of mfg right across the border from Arizona.
Nogales, Mexico is across the border from Arizona.
A lot of companies mfg products in Nogales and ship them across the border to warehouses which ship them throughout the United States.

You will also be interested to know even if you visit these plants as a US Citizens you have to pay for an $80 work permit.

If you're depressed, a day at the strawberry festival will certainly have you feeling better about yourself that's for sure.

Might work for the summer crops, but those peppers you get in Jan, or those eggplants. Consider them gone. Same with lettuce cucumbers, strawberries, etc.





Oh the horror. Maybe Now farmers markets, local farms, and even homeowners will find it profitable to continue to grow vegetables and hot houses.

Dropped acid at a Pantera concert, once. Worst idea ever.

Yeah, that isn't such a good idea. Strawberry fest may have been worse, although the strawberries were pretty damn tasty, and that zipper.

I took acid at astroworld...in august. It rained. that sorta sucked too.

Taking psychedelics around drunk people is usually not fun.

With that said, I plan on dropping a tab on mardi gras day. But I will stay on the edge of the quarter/in the bywater.

I dropped acid once. It was at an LSU game circa 1992 or something like that. 192,000 people were looking at me and knew I was losing my mind. Also, the WORST IDEA EVER.

FTR, I know the stadium was empty in '92 and it doesn't hold that many. I was tripping because a girl I was trying to bang asked me to join her. How bad could it be, right? BAD BAD BAD! It was so bad that I tried to run out of the stadium and got hit by an EMS team with a person on a stretcher. As if I needed to be freaked out even more. I did however, get laid 1 week later...

I will and I'll be just fine. You go on and you continue to be your useless, miserable, self because after all, it sucks to be you and it always will. You're a mentally deranged, rabid, whinny, loser. Even worse, you're a liberal.

Lots of produce. limes and jalapeños sold in the U.S. come from Mexico 99% of the time. In the winter, tomatoes too. Drug cartels actually control most of the lime farms.

Kansas City Southern railroad makes about half its money in pesos and from hauling goods to and from Mexico. They have a NAFTA deal where the customs type issues are handled at point of loading, so they just blow across the border.

Their PAC supported Trump. Now he is about to frick them royally.

How many Mexicans drive VW's?


When I was there, lots! Basically a dashboard with a steering wheel. They drive insane in Mexico City.
Lots of 1 series BMW as well.

Here around my parts, the "Navajo" blankets the tribes sell at their shops on I40 are made in Mexico, so there's that. Also, my VW Jetta TDI that is about to be sold back and parted out was assembled in Mexico.

Hey, I'm not an economist or anything, but if we quit buying their shite, what are they gonna do with it? Quit making it? Send it to China? Russia? Sounds like Mexico needs to pull up to the table and get to dealin.
