[@S.V.TeFiti]

[@roninbushitoろうにん]

@@S.V.TeFiti that would be nice if Hawaii grew avocados. Don’t buy Mexican imported avocado it’s run by the cartel

[@Single_Conservative_Dad_808]

You are 100% right. These snowflakes only complain about prices now when Trump get into office and not when Biden was overcharging everything the last 4 years. These tariffs will overall help us put more money into the U.S. economy, not foreign country's.

[@roninbushitoろうにん]

I only buy local u should only buy local why buy and eat imports

[@JanWoods-d3p]

Exactly ❗️👍

FIRST ASK WHY THE STATE DOESNT LET US GROW OUR OIWN INSTEAD OF THIS FEAR MONGERING

[@ichigobankai2343]

Avacados?😅😅😅 Most people here don't understand what Tariffs are for. The ironic part is all other countries use Tariffs.😅

[@John_Doe3]

Not usually as high as 10 or 25% and he's imposed these high tariffs before yet production has not increased here at any substantial level.

[@modawg1111]

If you don’t want to buy high priced avocados, grow your own ! Duhhh we can do that Easily here ! 🙄

[@Uncleschannelkcm]

But then. Buying local is way more expensive

[@ottifantiwaalkes9289]

You voted the wrong people. Hawaii has many monopolies that gets some rich by you giving it to them.

[@John_Doe3]

It is but it's better for our economy, more money stays here.

[@GluteusMaximus808]

Go farmer direct. Save

[@ottifantiwaalkes9289]

@@John_Doe3 all the shipping companies take money from locals. Money leaves!

[@John_Doe3]

@@ottifantiwaalkes9289 Maybe so but it doesn't change the fact that the more you buy local and American the more money stays here. More, not all.

[@GluteusMaximus808]

Locals just gotta speak up to end the monopoly here that a lot of middle men have. Buy farmer direct and save a boat load. Simple

[@tamarawoodall9181]

Buy local produce.

[@tundahking]

I the idea here is for us to grow avocados and buy our own instead of making Mexico and China rich.

[@allrockfarmllc9909]

It's ridiculous that HAWAII buys any fruit or vegetables or avocados from anyone!!

[@JeanneFerrariamas-sr5ml]

Wake up call for Hawaii The most geographically isolated place in the world yet we live like we are an extension of Mainland USA

[@KaizenEnergyUS]

It's going to be Great, Nope prices won't go up, so stop fear mongering .

Your head is in a cloud

Watch how Chinatown is going to be impacted.

[@ottifantiwaalkes9289]

Really a political issue within Hawaii. Ask yourself why does hawaii not grow more of it's own food. Hawaii does not need to rely on either mainland, Mexico or elsewere. Hawaiian people need to look at their own politicians and monopolies. Look were the money goes for importing vs. Local farms. Has nothing to do with tariffs. Shipping?

[@GluteusMaximus808]

As a farmer in Hawaii, I can answer that question simply. Middle man and politicians have a monopoly on the market/local farmers. Middle man will tell the farmer “this is what I will pay u, take it or leave it cuz I can get it cheaper from Mexico, Central America etc. so if you wanna grow things here, avoid selling them to stores. But that only helps out so much. Because again, the middle man will bring in containers of ur product, flood the market and completely screw the local farmer if you don’t play ball with them. By play ball I mean accept their low price offer. Farmers are the only people who pay retail for everything but sell at wholesale prices. From tractors to fertilizer, we pay retail for everything. Just to sell our product at a wholesale pre determined low price. It’s not about land. Corruption here has ruined farming

[@ottifantiwaalkes9289]

@GluteusMaximus808 that what i hear from farmer i buy from. And shipping companies take a huge chunk from locals. People need to start demanding politicians to cooperate with local farms or out.

[@roninbushitoろうにん]

It’s the crook snake pilauticians that make regulations that drive up costs or create a monopoly

Our politicians are evil to the core. Plead the Blood of Jesus.​@@GluteusMaximus808

[@2-old-Forthischet]

Did you know there's actually an avocado cartel in Mexico? In a way, by consuming avocados, you're enriching the cartel.

[@roninbushitoろうにん]

Yup the cartels run the avocado operations by buying avocados you are supporting their drug operations

[@JanWoods-d3p]

I don’t think anybody is going to perish if they don’t get a F 🥑❗️😮

[@onthedotmatrix]

Grow your own avocado tree if you’re worried about prices of avocados

[@WarnTwice]

Oh, you ain't seen nothing yet.

[@kh0034]

Well, time to decide what you can cut out of your budget. We're in for a bumpy ride🙄

[@tobereed]

Trump is going to end federal income tax if the tariffs make enough money. Everyone will be better off financially if it works

[@dhn.]

Is the state of Hawaii or the four counties willing to help residents by lowering its' taxes and regulations? That's great!

[@roninbushitoろうにん]

Don’t eat avocados simple eat aloha tofu instead. I don’t know anyone who eats avocados here

[@Mahealaniboggess]

I live in hawaii…. I grow my own avocados 😊

[@limitless5356]

Imagine if we shed more light on local farmers. Like NOW. See if those who can provide the supply for Hawai'i's demand, then everyone wins. Local groceries, local food, local farmers, local supporters, everything from and to locals! Who am i kidding

[@latteladybug]

Going to my aunty’s for avocados anyway off her trees

[@jkbl1757]

Gotta build my garden so I can harvest my own

[@nrakma]

Over the holidays I asked three well to do clients of mine, how much avocados, hamburger meat and milk costs to buy today compared to when they were in college. None had a clue and two said that they had not been in a supermarket in years. The other said he would ask his staff house(s) staff.

[@latteladybug]

We have our own Canada, but we call it Alaska

Help me consume less! Not afraid to cut out a lot! Going to pay off my cc’s 🥳

This guys forgetting one thing... KEEP IT LOCAL Nevermine china

[@roninbushitoろうにん]

Get plenty kamaaina fruits and veggies locally grown by kanaka owned farms or local multi generational families. I bought some ewa sweet onions and bananas cabbage purple sweet potatoes from aloun farms

Let's see who else raises their prices using tariffs as an excuse.
