I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
Nah they haven't upped the fed min wage in decades
That whole part!
Those jobs are built for people who have 10 plus families in their homes.
Even tho Hispanics and other foreigners are anti black, anti African American, pro white, etc....they can stick together and live like sardines in a house/apt. Us blacks aren't that cohesive...it is what it is.
But ur absolutely right...when Hispanics and other foreigners come here...they adapt to the American lifestyle. Eventually they gonna want a better paying job.
Also those people (even tho they support their own food businesses) start adapting to the American diet and gaining American weight due to processed and high caloric foods.
It's hard to get American whites, blacks and Asians to take jobs like that. Shyt, it's hard to get American born Hispanics to get jobs like that.

│ No, no. Don’t you get it? It’s only capitalism when YOU need something. When they need something, it’s your civic duty.

│ │ You joke, but farmers get an absolutely insane amount of your tax dollars in welfare. Only when they get it, they call it "subsidies", and it's a good thing that they deserve. When a poor working class single mom gets it, they call it welfare and it's a bad thing that they don't deserve.
│ │
│ │ They're currently screeching to get 25 billion or so of your tax dollars in welfare as a result of the economic damage done by the tariffs.. which they voted for. Boot straps are for poor people.

│ │ │ People have an insane conceptualization of what a farmer is. For significant farms, it's more like "landlord". We call the people who do the work "agricultural laborers". I think if people realized what farmers actually were and did, instead of keeping their cheesy idea of them, they'd be somewhat less amenable to all the lemon socialism that we throw at them.

│ │ │ │ I live in a tiny farm town in South Georgia and this is entirely accurate. The tractors are basically self driving with GPS so all the farm hands are gone. When I was a kid, the local black guys drove the tractors and harvesters and what not. Now the computer does it while the farmers and their kids sleep and listen to podcasts. They all drive $80-100K trucks and wear Carhartt and drink Bud Light or Michelob Ultra.
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ They all swear that "the libs" are coming to get them and Daddy Trump was gonna be their savior and now they are crying bc all that sweet welfare subsidies are gone and he deported all the Mexicans and other migrants and even the Haitians won't do a thing unless it's "fukk you, pay me!".
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ fukked up thing is they were crying the same shyt during his first term, except this time it's probably 10x worse.

Trumps Abschiebung von Erntehelfern lässt Farmer verzweifeln
Da den US-Farmern die Erntehelfer genommen werden, verrotten die Früchte ungeerntet auf den Feldern. Unterpflügen ist billiger. Zudem gab es vor Inkrafttreten der Zölle eine Tomatenflut aus Mexiko.

Trump's deportation of harvesters despair makes farmers despair
Since the US farmers are taken away from the harvesters, the fruits rot unreturned in the fields. Subploughing is cheaper. In addition, there was a tomato surge from Mexico before the tariffs come into force.

Tony DiMare's family has a good 1,600 hectares in Florida and California, where tomatoes are grown. Currently, however, it is bad about the fruits, they rot in the field and are being underworked.
However, the reason is not the weather or diseases, but the crisis that US President Donald Trump has triggered. Speaking to a television station in Miami, DiMare said that customs and immigration policies are forcing farmers to abandon their cultivated areas.
Already in January, he had warned that Trump's crackdown on migrants will strongly hit farmers who depend on harvest workers. “We need to secure our borders in the south and north, but we need workers in this country,” the tomato grower also told the Financial Post. The deportations destroyed the agricultural workforce.
Half of seasonal workers are illegal in the country
According to Farmonaut, an agricultural technology company, around 50% of farm workers in the US are migrants without residence securities, including qualified foremen and machine operators.
Since the Trump administration continues the mass deportation of migrants without residence papers, thousands of harsh helpers are now missing in the fields. And so the fruits spoil. On TV, an unrecognizable worker described that thousands of migrants leave Florida every day. “Many are very afraid, and sometimes they still come to work, sometimes not,” he said. “The harvest is lost because it cannot be brought in.”
Customs disrupts traditional supply chains
The labour shortage also means that farmers in Florida have to pay more for their workforce. At the same time, they receive less money for their products due to Trump's tariff policy.
From January to April, Trump’s threatened tariffs led Mexican suppliers to double their tomato exports to the US or even leak – even before tariffs came into force.
As a result, the US market was inundated with Mexican tomatoes. For the farmers in Florida, the wholesale price for a crate of tomatoes dropped from 16 dollars to 3 to 4 dollars. According to DiMare, tomato farmers need about 10 to 11 dollars per box to reach the break-even point.
Subploughing is cheaper
“You can’t even afford the harvest at the moment,” said Heather Moehling, President of the Miami-Dade County Farm Bureau. “In view of labour costs and the operating resources used, it is cheaper for farmers to now simply plow them.”Not only tomato farmers in Florida feel the effects. Canada has claimed an 25% tariff on US water melon for Trump's tariffs on Canadian products. DiMare knows a watermelon farmer who has lost Canadian customers to Mexican watermelon suppliers.
Consumers need to prepare for higher food costs
Farmonaut points out that the impact of tariffs and immigration policies on farmers will also have an impact on food trade. If US farmers do not have enough workers for the harvest, Americans will have to buy more imported products and pay more due to the customs duties.
The Food Policy Center at Hunter College in New York City warns that the resulting rise in food prices will fuel inflation – “which weighs on household budgets across the country and, in particular, meets families in areas with high food insecurity.”
While farmers have little choice but to hope for an end to the political unrest, consumers should prepare to reduce these costs, they say.
