Awww. That sucks. Your prolonged suffering as your entire lifes work slowly collapses around you, crops dying and cattle being sold in order to try and prop up what little you have left as you scream at everything around you....
Oh it's going to be so fucking entertaining.
real "food comes from the supermarket" vibes here...
No. Real "I'm not an American and am done giving a single fuck" vibes here.
It's almost like there are other places on the planet that are not the United States!
Being an American who is stuck here and didn't choose any of this, wishing additional suffering upon us doesn't feel great, but I understand where you're coming from.
Wishing additional suffering upon us doesn't feel great
Mind pointing out where I did that?
Edit: Your downvotes don't change reality. I still never wished additional suffering on you. But leave it to an American to instantly scream "YOU'RE WISHING MORE HARM ON ME" for merely pointing out what is going to happen to farmers, and is happening to farmers, from their own actions. For enjoying their own suffering, you know, like the entire premise of this community?
The victim complex of the entire United States is fucking insane. Hilarious but insane.
At least they are removing all those gang members from the fields
capitalism suddenly stops believing in the supply demand graph once coercion is off the table
Isn't it a confession that he wittingly employs undocumented migrants and isn't it illegal?
Hard to say since a lot of immigrants with legal status have been kidnapped and trafficked out of country.
Good thing mossad infiltrated USA, otherwise it would be too overpowered.

I wouldn't mind being a crop worker...provided I get at least minimum wage, breaks, healthcare, and reasonable quotas that ensure my wellbeing.
...crickets...
I've done a lot of seasonal field scale farm work, mostly in Europe - it can be extremely hard work. Couldn't do it now, you have to be pretty fit.
If only people would be willing to pay for that at the market...
Something like 80% of the prices you pay at a grocery store go to middle men. Farmer is only about 11%, IIRC.
That's why governments subsidize agriculture, to keep the price down.
So Walmart strategy, the government should subsidize my company so I can pocket the profit!
They promised JJ 100,000 a year to hire illegals and whatever other farm subsidies AND his whole family is on Medicaid. Is he literally that bad at living off farming, rather than welfare, or is he also committing fraud?
Why is a welfare queen (by the original definition) voting Republican
And yet they wont change their political positions. Theyd much rather go broke.
go anti-woke go broke. anti-woke is actually one of the republican voters top concern in a poll last year.
Honestly, it would be good if Republican businesses go kaput, and leave the field(s) to more humane and sane businesses that value society.
