They want the QOL for normal people to drop so low, they can treat them like they did their migratory work force.
You won't starve, though. You can still import food from China...
Famines Are Predominantly Man-Made: 2025 Edition (Updated for Western Hemisphere)
This problem literally always existed. I don't understand why so many people are okay with farms abusing undocumented workers.
Also, americans will do the work if it pays well enough.
a number of farms tried the "pay enough" route. Turns out people won't do it unless the compensation would put the farm in the red, even then it wouldn't be popular. We need to completely reform the way deal with food distribution to the general public. Market solutions seem to always mean that they need huge subsidies, and an underclass workforce.
You would be amazed how many of them wouldn't because it's beneath them whole also crying about how much anyone who does do the work gets paid. Victim complex always comes first.
Well those people were never thinking of anyone but themselves to begin with, so no loss.
Republicans.
Plan.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I've been on this Earth for 4 decades. The only thing I've ever seen Republicans plan was removing women's rights. They played the long game on that one.
Private prisons: "I got a product for you."
Can't wait for Howard Lutnick to go on Foz to tell everyone how the golden age of Americans turning little screws to grow food will be upon us very soon.

"There is just flat out nobody to ~~work~~ exploit."
We don't want anyone to have any freedom or wealth or control or ability or identity or respect or worth .... so .... SLAVERY it is!
They absolutely have a plan, take away every single form of a safety net and force people to work the farms out of necessity.
GOP: work or die!
No ... no ... you got that wrong
They don't want people to work out of necessity
They want people to work as complete and utter slaves to be bought sold and controlled like work animals for business and pleasure
When the slaves aren't working ... they'll make them sing, dance, perform and fight for everyone's entertainment
A lot of racists tripping over their own racism. Maybe time to stop blaming brown people for low wages and start blaming the real boogey man: the owner class.
To the farmers that didn't vote for this administration, I hope you recover from this.
To the ones who did, I hope you get to watch your legacy burn to the ground right before you get turned into a fine paste.
