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

Don’t worry the problem is being created so that the robots are a necessity

It’s also to bankrupt farmers so that companies like the one vance has stock in can snatch up the farms at a greatly decreased cost.

Okay but who are we going to deport when the robots take our gerbs?

Wait, prison guard is probably still available. I don’t think robots can be so vindictive and mean spirited.

That’s what’s going to fuck us all the most.

Government did the exact same thing under Reagan. They gave small business loans under FHA to farmers, then turned right around and reneged on those loans and demanded full repayment after farmers had already invested the money. They had to stand there and watch their equipment, their belongings, and their 2-300 year old family farms get parceled out and get auctioned off.

“Who’s gonna pick our cotton crops?” - Democrats

Who's gonna pick our crops? - Republicans (except they are literally, actually asking that right this moment and this isn't being used as an imaginary gotcha. It's also very telling that you don't see a difference between slaves and paid workers.)

Lmao you saw this clip and thought to yourself "they must want slaves just like I do".

We say we need immigrants because we know we need labor and we think these immigrants should be paid for their work. You see immigrants and think the only possible use for them is as slave labor. We are not the same.

Exactly. We're just in that awkward stage before robots replace all blue collar workers and billionaires sip martinis in their bunkers while the world starves and we mass murder each other. Then they can build a new world out of the ashes and everyone will have a place in it. Worry not.
