11. Strawberries are on my shopping list for tomorrow

And you're right - right now is the Florida strawberry season. Deporting the workers who harvest them in the peak period will piss off a lot of the farmers in Polk County where Plant City is and that is a very Republican area.

If those farmers see their strawberries rotting in the fields they WILL complain to their representatives I hope they get really pissed at every single on all the way to Rick Scott and Trump! BTW Adam Putnam, the Florida Commissioner of Agriculture, lives in Bartow just a few miles from Plant City (and a few blocks from my Mom). I bet he gets some calls, too.
