@Armchaircouch Oh for Pete's sake. Organized crime touches everything, it seems.
🙌 I feel very blessed that I can, I buy local California avocados from the store and often times I just get them straight from the farmer at the farmers market. @LiberalLibrarian

I guess it’s just an expansion of similar crime syndicates in the past, like how in New York the mob was also involved in a lot of actual business operations.
in Afghanistan, terrorists are involved with minerals and mining of things that trendy influencers buy and resell, precious stones, and such. I don’t think the influencers have any idea who they are supporting. @LiberalLibrarian
@Armchaircouch So buy your avocados from here in sunny California.
