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.

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.

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…
