Especially not when OSHA is simultaneously being dismantled.

Way to screw all of us over your jingoism
Stupid cunts.
ICE facilities are currently overflowing. ICE prisoners will simply be leased out as farm labor.
Jesus fucking Christ that's dark but entirely possible.
The US has always operated off of slave labor. We currently, among other things, use slave labor to fight forest fires.

- Farmhands deported, can't find replacements
- $200k labor grant suspended indefinitely
- Lost subsidies, making less money on product
- Tariffs jacked up equipment prices and repairs
- Depends on Medicaid, no insurance if it's cut
Oh boy, way to seriously fuck yourself from every conceivable angle, smart guys. Sumo wrestler lookin leopards after this one.
Add that any products grown for trade are sitting unwanted in fields, or for aid rotting in warehouses because the government canceled the contracts for them. Food is often held in special warehouses where the oxygen is pumped out, but there aren't enough of those to hold all the excess that was expected to be sent elsewhere
It's a colossal mess, with an incredible amount of waste

Yes. Yes, he is.
That's just good old fashioned republican efficiency. These boys better get their bootstraps and figure out which conglomerate they're gonna sell the farm to.
Big corpos probably lining up to strike a bargain rn

If we all have to get fucked over, I'm definitely gonna laugh at the morons who chose this and will suffer worse than me
Well, they won’t work for less than minimum wage, so there’s your problem. Hell, won’t even work for minimum wage.
Isn't $7/hr minimum wage? That's slave conditions as well.
Let's think about this. If you work 8 hours under the hot sun with little breaks, you'll get $56 and that's before taxes. It's insane. That's probably not even what they're paying them.
7.25 to be exact at the federal level. Some states set it higher though
But to be pedantic, being a slave has nothing to do with wage. Being a volunteer isn't slavery.
Slavery is about consent.
$7.25/hour is not a "living wage" regardless. It's slavery, with extra steps

Do you have a choice when you starve or work for what you can get? This isn't rocket science.

What a Rollercoaster ride of a comment... fuck politicians in the US. This is the downfall of our society
What’s funny is the old idea that book nerds know things but farmers do things is a source of pride for farmers.
The reality is that farmers are just nerds also.
Yet they think of themselves as something else, like mythical strong men beasts who feed the rest of us useless folks.
The real strong men are the very immigrants that do the literal toiling while the farmers are basically like mini CEOs by comparison
Their rejection of the very nerdiness thst gives them their mystique is ironic
They are smart enough to turn land into food
But not smart enough to realize how they actually do it
Lol. What a clownshow. You voted for this, morons. Decisions have consequences, even/ especially if it's to sit out and do nothing, and yes, im now talking about the other group of idiots.
Absolutely. But I’m beginning to think there weren’t as many sit-outs as certain precincts would have us believe.
