NAFTA makes prices of goods from Mexico CHEAPER, at the cost of a small amount of American jobs. If we negotiate NAFTA to make it more "fair"™ for American workers (who cost a fuck ton), then our Mexican imports will cost a bunch more due to tariffs.

Just steal them then. Invest in "guacamole garments". Go to a second hand shop and find a coat with the biggest pockets. If it's summer, get the largest pair of cargo shorts you can find, who cares if they're size 60 waist, that's what a belt (rope) is for. Long raincoats are good for stealing large links of meat, I call these "pepperoni coats"; outfit the inside with hooks to hang the meat. Long, baggy pants are good "sandwich slacks" as you can fit an 18" sub down each leg, and impress the ladies who notice the bulge, it draws away suspicion.

or

Pay a hooker $5 to come shopping with you. Make sure you find a hooker with a large purse. Force her to steal avocados and whatever you desire. If you get caught, deny accountability by not knowing who they are, which you don't, so it's not a lie.

It's like you're not even trying, man. Get good.

> Sometimes avocado plants will begin growing fruit after they’re 3 or 4 years old, others take 15+ years to grow fruit, and some never do. It helps to have several avocado trees growing together to aid with pollination.
