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.
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.
Question: Are you getting great already?

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.
Good! No exploiters should be able to sustain their practices.
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.
Society needs more unions period.
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!
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.
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?
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.
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.
Nothing about my statement was an argument requiring input from tom clancy.
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
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.
You can thank our fellow countrymen for that. America deserves international contempt because collectively were an international bully. I’ve gone overseas and have had a person tell me straight up I was the only American she has enjoyed talking to.
People overseas fucking hate us. Maybe if we bomb the middle east just one more time we can turn things around.
You do realize that corporations don’t care. They will import foods and this will also encourage small local farmers. Some will turn to gardening and foraging which is like printing money with no taxes.
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.
You talked about how entertaining it will be to watch our agricultural industry collapse. Different but feels pretty similar.
Plus your gross hate complex for the entire country. It’s weird. Go outside.

“Well, no, you didn’t actually say what we said you did but we don’t like you anyway so fuck off”
Lemmy’s really gone to shit lately with you cunts
Plus your gross hate complex for the entire country.
Once again, Americans just inventing shit to be upset about. I said that you’ve got a victim complex. How better to illustrate that than by a ridiculous overgeneralization focused on hate of the entire country.
Man… Like I said. The victim complex of your country is insane. Hilarious but insane. I’ll just laugh from the outside then, like everyone else. Because apparently if someone from the outside does laugh with you, y’all get real butthurt real fast. Have fun and, more importantly, good luck.
