She hoped Trump would revive her farm. Now she worries his policies could bankrupt it.

The farm has been in her family for generations but has struggled over the past several years amid the rising cost of fuel, fertilizer and other operating expenses. [...] Since taking over the family farm in 2019 [...]
While I fully admit running a farm is a massive endeavor, the fact that the farm started having persistent issues shortly after she took over indicates to me that at least part of the problem is poor management.
“The American worker doesn’t like labor, they don’t like to do laborious jobs,” Carlson said. “They don’t want to do the hard labor, and that’s what’s frustrating, because we would love to hire U.S. workers, but we can’t get them to show up. We can’t get them to follow through. We can’t get them to finish the season.”
The American worker is perfectly happy to perform laborious jobs - just not at the rate you're willing to pay them. It's called "acting your wage".
Americans, even if they're paid well, will not go stand in the sun for 12 hours a day. Sometimes it's not about money. Sometimes it's about the job being shit and you need to change the job.
But also money.
I think the point is why bust your balls in the sun for 12 hours a day when you can make the same money doing basic clerical work in an air conditioned office

Why do they need immigrant help? I see a shitload of kids that can work the farm. That's how my dad's family operated an apple orchard north of Detroit. Of course, they all died from cancers after years of exposure to pesticides without PPE, but that's a problem for later!
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

Bootstraps.
These people are so fucking stupid
I really don't understand how these people think. A person reliant on government funding and immigrant workers votes for the guy who campaigned on cutting government funding and getting rid of immigrants.

“I’ll admit to you, I bleed Republican. However, this has left a sour taste in my mouth,” Carlson said.
Keep bleeding, then.
And the EU starts putting tariffs on farm products from the USA, so that bleeding could increase.

"The sour taste in your mouth is blood. Because of the festering sores in your mouth. Which you contracted by suckling the micropeen of a cheating, raping misogynist who ran on a promise of ruining your life. But hey, at least your grandkids disowned you and your social security is about to not exist."
Waiting for them to all bleed out.
