I just wanted to rant a bit about my family being greedy/fascist.

Letting avocados rot for profit

So the other day I went with my uncle to our family’s field where we grow avocados. He was teaching me how to pick them up properly, and then when he picked up some avocados that were scratched or had a stain from touching the ground he threw them away saying something like “well if you see some that are scratched or stained, leave them” (I don’t really remember what he said, I have pretty bad memory, but it was along those lines). I asked him why were we not picking them up if they seemed good to eat and he told me that if the person buying the avocados from us saw a scratched avocado in a box, they could think that there could be more deeper in the box, driving down the price of the rest of the avocados.

So they basically let a ton of perfectly fine avocados rot because they just want more profits. What a waste.


Is my family rich?

I didn’t think too much about it before, but I recently realized that my family is pretty well off, for example my mother rents housing to other people, and heck I’m pretty young and I got a flat to my name!

The thing is, my mother always (and I mean always) buys the cheapest thing she finds, like if she needs a microwave she would buy the cheapest one. Also my grandmother complains about electricity prices a lot, which made me very confused about our economic situation.

But honestly I’m pretty sure they are just greedy.


"Spain needs another Franco"

The other day my family was talking crap about the left as usual (my uncle and my mother like the fascist party) when my grandmother said that “Spain needs another Franco”. I knew my family was right wing but I didn’t know it was this bad…


That’s all, if I have something clear, is that I’m definitely not coming out as a communist to my family anytime soon. 😅

    Members of my family are landlords and drive around with American flags waving in their trucks so I totally get the need to rant comrade. I can’t wait for the day I can get my own place and leave them all behind.

    Also can you keep the “undesirable” avocados? I’d totally be eating a ton of those bad boys if they were just going to rot. Also avocado oil is not exactly cheap. Might be worth it to try and press the oils out of them.

    Bring greedy and frugal are two different thing, one is at the expenses of yourself while the other involves exploiting or just straight up screwing someone else over for self gain.

    Give the avocados away yourself. Failing that, take the avocados yourself and sell on the side of the road. Sell them directly to restaurants. I dunno I’m just thinking out loud here, I don’t know why I’m so worried about the avocados ha

    That’s really terrible situation. Thankfully my family literally worships Tito, SFRY and USSR. We have just 1 bad family member.
