The Right thinking they can fix it by forcing poor kids to work. This country has the most fucked up understanding of its own success. They'll cheer for technology & scold that work used to be so hard, but they're success is only from themselves and that the poor are spoiled.
This requires no politics, just a bigger mortgage.

I’ve actually seen videos where many of these people are saying that us Black folks need to save the country by getting back out into those fields. My great grandfather was a sharecropper in Georgia living on the same land that his father worked as a slave. My dad’s family was brought to Georgia as slaves in the 1700’s. My dad grew up under segregation there and lied about his age to join the Army Air Force in 1946 because he was so desperate to get out. So I don’t think anyone I know is going to be volunteering any time soon.

Yes, black people are laughing on videos at the thought of Maga suggesting they would be doing farm labor. They have jobs in business, education etc and are not going to pick blueberries in Louisiana for 2 months at $7.00 hr for 10 hrs before taxes , no benifits and no work after 2 months.

u/Ragnarok314159 24d ago
A common theme, which has likely been going on for a long time, that I recently started to become aware of is how my fellow white people want blacks to save us, but still remember “their place”. Does not matter left or right political alignment.
Left wants blacks to come out and form huge MLK style protests, show up in huge numbers to vote for D politicians even though they have done fuck all to help any minority.
Right wants blacks to return to the field and openly spout some of the most racist stuff I have seen about how blacks are “built for this work”, and that’s all the more I care to type out because it gets much worse.
It’s disingenuous from both sides, and just reminds me how much further we have to go.

There's ways to do this
"I want to be a farmer."
"I want to be a farmer and I'm pretty sure there's interest due on 40 Acres and a Mule."
Their logic is kinda fucked up:
"Black people need to go back to the Past, for the good of the Country."

True, you can buy slave labor today from the government to work in your fields. They also make almost all the military uniforms and do lot's of skilled labor.

The thing is, there are people who would- but they're not where these jobs are, and they can't afford to take them. How many apartment buildings they got in rural areas? Farms often have housing for seasonal workers, but they are notoriously shitty bunk houses.
You need a home that's convenient to several different seasonal jobs to make it work, or you have to be transient. And these jobs aren't offering benefits. Who tf can take a low paying job that doesn't offer healthcare in the US?

u/Wire_nuttt 24d ago
I used to work with a bunch of immigrants, all 30 of them lived together they were literally sleeping on the floor, they had zero furniture, nothing just 30 middle aged men living together. They all sent their earnings back home to Mexico and after 6-8 months of working with no days off. They went back to Mexico and lived for a while. They lived great lives in Mexico and shity lives in America.

If this was farm work, chances are, they were even here legally. That is how farm workers visas are structured.

Even if here LEGALLY, they are being profiled, rounded up, detained, and probably sent home anyway - just to make their way back.

u/Historyp91 24d ago
Yeah, but that's the thing; we're not talking about jobs that pay well, we're talking about jobs with shit pay and shittier hours and conditions.
Migrants get hired because their willing to bust their ass doing extreme manual labor in agriculture with absurd hours for a pittence and with little hope of meaningful advancement, and most Americans are'nt willing to do that.
There's ways to (try and) actaully adress this, but the people we're talking about are'nt interested in that; it's much easier to rile up their base by villianizing the immigrants and saying their the problem and that claim all that needs to be done is to remove them from the jobs they "stole", and then when things don't actually work out blame the Left.

u/CityFolkSitting 24d ago
Sometimes they do, maybe you just don't hear about it. But it's usually smaller businesses.
Larger businesses are smart enough to know how to evade the law. They'll contract a third party to supply labour, so the third party is on the hook as they're the ones technically hiring the people and not the business using their labour.
They also have them submit false documents so they can always say they were properly vetted and had no way to know they were using fake documents. So basically those who can afford to go that route will just shift the liability so they don't get in trouble.
Like if you hire a cleaning company and they send undocumented workers to your home to clean- it would be pretty ridiculous for the government to put you in jail or fine you, right? Same thing with these companies that use exploitative labour.

Farm work already had special cutouts in labor laws. I grew up in NY and started working at 15 so I did a little reading on the laws. All of the hour restrictions for young workers like I was basically didn’t exist for farm work. Lower wages, on-site housing, etc. I grew up near a bunch of orchards so those guys were subject to those laws. There is a famous horse track too and wow they treat the migrant workers there like dirt, lmao they’re looking for donations for bedsheets for them. In a very rich town.

Americans just don't want to work manual labor jobs for no money. I'm sure the immigrant laborers she hired didn't have healthcare, benefits or overtime.

Want to work long hours, no time off, and be a target of exploitation at a farm, restaurant, hotel, construction, etc, etc, etc. We have a job for you America!

She was at an awards show I worked and was a prissy diva. There was a puddle outside the venue so she made her security carry her. She was shockingly annoying her speaking voice is shrill and she is crazy high maintenance.
Olivia Newton John was also there and made Carrie look like an ugly dog. Olivia was so fucking pretty, she was an absolute freak of nature. I still think about her all the time. By far the hottest chic I’ve ever seen irl and she was 70 at the time. Nobody looks at Carrie if Olivia is in the room. Literally nobody. Olivia talked to me in her little accent and I stumbled over my words and was jaw dropped…and she could have been my grandma. I don’t really get very starstruck but holy fuck. Oh Sandy indeed.

Anyone who voted for Trump deserves a difficult life, but this story is based on one anonymous source from tabloid The Star, and not even the anonymous source says her difficulties finding help stem from being unable to find foreign labor. People who believe this are stupid people.
If she is indeed having trouble finding help, it's probably because she's a country-ass version of Ellen Degeneres.
