so MAGA farmers chased off immigrant farmworkers because Trump said they were taking American jobs, now they can’t find anyone to pick their crops. Funny how the pick-yourselves-up-by-the-bootstraps crowd suddenly needs someone else to do the work

Eff, that. I didn't get two degrees and a bunch of certs to make less than $150k and have to work outside. My chocolate brown ass is an indoor black man.

I have two masters in education and have never made more than $42,000 after 23 years of teaching.
That was some time ago, but I hope you can see that $150k sounds like a lot to me.

If picking crops paid $150k, would you get two degrees and a bunch of certs to not pick crops?
