Sometimes libs don't realize their mask slipped. "They do the jobs we won't" is bougie shit. People will do anything that pays well enough, isn't abusive or unnecessarily dangerous, and doesn't involve being housed in a bunk on-site.
These migrant workers are being abused by capitalists, and arguably we aren't even seeing the savings anyway, for what that would be worth.
And imprisoning people in slave labor camps that happen to be next to farms is not "deporting".
4D Chess move: wanna stop immigration into your country? Make your country so shitty and unlivable that it's not worth visiting let alone moving to
If Trump voters could read, they'd be very upset by this.
That's what the rolling back of child labour laws are for.
Let the urban farmer flourish.
Watch "community focused" small businesses struggle while their they "success friends" disappear so they can make a community focused on something other then capitol. Maybe they'll become urban farmers or intersectionalize with a passed skill like sewing or smut writing.
Get outside y'all go play chess with the old dude at the park. Go call the neighbor kid a little shit. Engage with your community.
Particularly because citizens will not take those jobs.
At 20, a job was a job.
Me at 40+, physically incapable of doing that work - much less at the requisite speed.
Dammit, the one positive of suffering through summer temps is fresh produce.
Stop, stop, stop. We're going to find this stuff out. We're going to learn. It will be painful. It's certainly going to be painful to watch. I just don't want to spend another second begging the 5 year old not to touch the burner anymore.
A fifth seems really low.
"Just trust Trump" says every Trump supporter that knows nothing of how the world works
Retaliatory tariffs strangling the ag industry's exports might for some items. For a harvest. Before the banks foreclose on the farms.
Something tells me with trump in charge, they'll leave on purpose.. There will also be a lot of Americans in the next 4 years migrating to other countries too
When you vote to deport grandma but still take her presents on christmas.
Get with your friends and neighbors and start hatching a plan to grow some of your own food starting next year. At worst you have fun and eat well.
Funny enough, it'll make food more expensive, because now there's more leverage for the worker. But, ofc, RFK wants to make field work forced labour camps for the disabled, which will most probably coat the same as prison labour - which means that ordinary labourers will be even more devalued.
I am so tired of this. Just... Let them try and find out. And refuse to learn and find out again and again and again.
If only this would be possible without others suffering from their stupidity.
Same energy as insinuating my personal emissions and plastic habits are what will make/break the planet.
No. This is all in the control of far more powerful groups. Why would I ruin time with family by discussing something fundamentally out of our control? Only serves to divide and no good comes of that kind of discussion.
I'll focus on paying bills and eeking out a basically okay life in spite of the shit that goes on.
Yes, and? This was the expected outcome, short-term pain for long-term gain.
By limiting imports and exports through tariffs and deporting illegal aliens, we'll either get more unemployed Americans working, or we'll actually get focused on automation. Any industry built on the back of illegal labor should be collapsed. Those who hire illegal labor should be jailed, and the illegal aliens should be deported. We have homeless, unemployed Americans. Offer them the jobs. Give them American wages, worker protections, and the opportunity to contribute to society again. Yes, the costs will go up for a time, but we'll be investing in our community and in our neighbors. It's called protectionism for a reason - we protect what is ours.
Support local businesses. Support local products and services. Support those who support your community. Yes, Americans will have higher costs for a time, but that rising tide will eventually lift all boats if we can manage to keep the government out of our hair for a while.
