This is part of the plan. Small farms will be run out of business and then bought for a low price and consolidated by mega farms.
Big Agriculture wants this and lobbies for it to happen.
Another 80s reboot
What a coincidence that the VP has a financial interest in independent farms going bankrupt.
These red voting MAGA fucks were receiving grants to hire labor and they claim socialism is bad. I have zero sympathy for their problems and this is another classic FAFO situation.
Yes but if the farm work doesn’t get done you are looking at the next thing which will be the great American famine, which I expect somewhere this summer. If the US food production falters and importing food is made very expensive though tarriffs, Americans are not going to have enough food.
It’s going to be like post revolutionary China in so many ways.
They’ll start calling to use prison labor soon enough. Prisons are commercial facilities anyway and could use some cash. And there are more African American in prison proportionally so that’s a bonus for MAGA. Police will get their cut for putting more people in prison. That way the new racist slave labor gets established.
Question: Are you getting great already?
In a place where local, legal help was nearly impossible to keep<’ the Post is reporting before adding, "But then Trump,
At least three typo mistakes in this article. The degree of publish-fast-don’t-edit in our “journalism” is off the scale. I hate it.
Anyway, this is what you voted for, asshole.
Repeat with me, class: There are no bad jobs, only bad conditions
No this can only be spoken by those in profound ignorance or utter stupidity. There are bad jobs. Go look up sewage cleaner in India. No amount of money is worth that. There will always be shit jobs.
No shit jobs only shit wages.
The idea is so badly implemented… you have to raise back Unions and decent salaries, what they expecting is that actual born americans will do the same job for the same shit money that desperate migrants who have absolutely nothing.
So in essence they want the new slaves to be US born, yeah fuck that.
new slaves to be US born
Prison labor. And what minority is overrepresented in prison?
Society needs more unions period.
I’m a medical student applying for residency this year, and the top program I’m interested in is at the top of my list partially because the residents have a union.
Fucking right, unions are for the people and any damn company that hates them is against giving people a working wage that gives them a life. PERIOD Fuck anti-union politicians! Power to the people!
Good! No exploiters should be able to sustain their practices.
Time for Mexico to pump up its own agriculture to supply the goods that will be needed on the other side of the fence. Labor is plenty now.
Mexico and Canada have been investing in agricultural infrastructure for decades now. The only reason that the U.S. farmer can compete is due to shenanigans in import requirements. Imports are held to a much higher standard than domestic production. It’s why the majority of foodborne outbreaks are from American production.
American farmers have been conditioned to rely on cheap labor and expensive equipment. There’s been only been minor infrastructure investment since the 1970’s.
Without government subsidies and cheap labor, the majority of the farmers business models in the us is not sustainable.
Mexican farm produce at American farm prices. That’s how capitalism works, right?
You mean that the job isn’t worth what you pay to do. They always pretend it isn’t the money. But of course its the money. If I’m going to work my ass off I expect better pay. Those immigrants were working their ass off for minimum wage and the farmers knew they were exploiting them.
Literally everything in America is about how much money you have, but God forbid you ask an employer how much they’re going to pay you. Because at your job what really matters is FAMILY. It’s like, give me a fucking break.
Any pretty much any physical job comes with copious risks to your body and health, yet these types of employers typically don’t pay for employee health plans nor do they pay enough for employees to comfortably afford their own. Why would anybody want to risk severing a finger, breaking a leg, getting bitten by a dangerous snake, a nail to the hand, etc if they don’t have to, especially knowing they can’t afford the treatment and it could lead to lifelong pain and disability?
You think they’re making minimum wage?
There’s literally a sub minimum wage in a lot of U.S states. 2.13$ an hour iirc?
Probably not all of them. The ones I’ve had experience with were.
They mean that the workers are probably making less than Minimum Wage. There are exceptions to minimum wage for agricultural work. Minimum wage would have been an improvement.
I think those exceptions are made (, in principle,) to to let farm workers get paid per unit. They pack a crate, they get $3. They can probably pack 10 crates an hour if they work their asses off.
But I’m sure it is exploited egregiously.
Nothing about my statement was an argument requiring input from tom clancy.
The leopard of eating faces is going to become obese after the end of this year
The leopard is already on a triple bypass. By the end of the year, if it keeps going like this, they will be doing a sleeve gastrectomy.
What’s that? Southern states running on cheap labour can’t cope with the loss of that labour? Where have we heard that before?
Fool me once and all that, but they actually voted for it this time round…
It’s not just Southerners who are the bad guys here. A huge amount of liberals are ecstatic to exploit cheap migrant labor as well.
Capitalism exploits cheap labor everywhere around the world. It’s a feature of the system.
This called having the day you voted for
Well this is good
You can’t expect a good end for the net negative incentives all the collectivist immigrant policies created during this time. Here is the backlash.
Ironic for petite that keto saying to have empathy for others, and yet everything they do keeps increasing human suffering.
Great idea guys
Yeah let’s allow everyone to enter the country. Where will they work, how will they provide for themselves? What do you say? Not our problem now!
Ah but y’all knew the incentive was already there. People desperate for work and people in bed of cheap labor go hand in hand
An industry can’t be based on cheap exploited labor just like that
Now the guys who you hate have to undo what you did
Now they need to remove the incentive on why people come to the US in the first place and the ones related to companies not having actual consequences to hiring illegal inmigrants
Shit will get expensive? Sure, but it will be worth it right?
People will need to work more? Of course, every poor citizen of the us usually has to work their ass of. But now much more
The cheap food and goods festival over? Well, about time
remind me of the post after brexit
