Grow tobacco instead of food. What could go wrong? And borrowing $1000 USD to do it. (if Zim dollars, no problem)

And do Freepers know who buys that tobacco, preferentially vs US growers? Why, it’s RJ Reynolds tobacco in Winston Salem, NC. They get it cheaper (or apparently not at all, so that at least would favor the contract growers in NC and elsewhere in the US) from Zimbabwe, at least the past several years.

And all for a product the govt. will not say should be no longer sold— cause they love the tax money.

NC is the largest producer of tobacco in the US. CT is a tobacco growing state— mostly shade leaf wrappers for cigars.
VA produces a lot, also.

But they go to Zimbabwe to prop up Mugabe. Don’t ever forget who Dick Reynolds was... for years. He was the head financier for the DNC. The liberal demonrat party. He loved LBJ, and Carter and Teddy and the lot of them. Nice support of the plantation party with the taxes on an addictive product that destroys your lungs and/or mouth mucosa and esophagus.

Too bad, so sad, tough toenails. Be careful what you ask for in a leader who knows nothing about leading. Oops, that sounds too close to home.

How’ Mugabe’s genocidal Marxism working for you fools?

The white farmers were successful and you had work/money. Then you killed them, or supported the killing or exiling of them, and you got nothing.

If you want to kill someone, kill Mugabe, the Hitler of Zimbabwe.

According to current American ethics, growing tobacco is Naughty; they should be growing marijuana instead.
