Texas Governor Low Energy Greg caused an estimated $240 million worth of produce to spoil when he mandated additional inspections of trucks crossing into the state from Mexico before reversing the policy Friday, CNN reports. The figure, cited by Fresh Produce Association of the Americas President Lance Jungmeyer, will cause price spikes to be felt hardest in purchases of strawberries, avocados, and asparagus for consumers in the Northeast and Midwest as early as this weekend.
Nice going Greg. Not as bad as the bullshit Texas National Guard border mission which caused as many as nine suicides among the troops involuntarily deployed to watch out for Mexicans.
