Stealing this
I’m sorry but you can’t do that. You must show your required meme-stealing credentials, sir.
“I’ll admit to you, I bleed Republican. However, this has left a sour taste in my mouth,” Carlson said.
Keep bleeding, then.
“The sour taste in your mouth is blood. Because of the festering sores in your mouth. Which you contracted by suckling the micropeen of a cheating, raping misogynist who ran on a promise of ruining your life. But hey, at least your grandkids disowned you and your social security is about to not exist.”
And the EU starts putting tariffs on farm products from the USA, so that bleeding could increase.
They did this to us. The farmers. We know who they voted for, as a group. Fuck 'em. Let them reap what they sow.
Waiting for them to all bleed out.
I’m a Republican whose life was going Decently under Biden so I voted for the Man who Campaigned on RUINING my Life! Why did he Ruin my Life?
The farm has been in her family for generations but has struggled over the past several years amid the rising cost of fuel, fertilizer and other operating expenses. […] Since taking over the family farm in 2019 […]
While I fully admit running a farm is a massive endeavor, the fact that the farm started having persistent issues shortly after she took over indicates to me that at least part of the problem is poor management.
“The American worker doesn’t like labor, they don’t like to do laborious jobs,” Carlson said. “They don’t want to do the hard labor, and that’s what’s frustrating, because we would love to hire U.S. workers, but we can’t get them to show up. We can’t get them to follow through. We can’t get them to finish the season.”
The American worker is perfectly happy to perform laborious jobs - just not at the rate you’re willing to pay them. It’s called “acting your wage”.
Americans, even if they’re paid well, will not go stand in the sun for 12 hours a day. Sometimes it’s not about money. Sometimes it’s about the job being shit and you need to change the job.
But also money.
I think the point is why bust your balls in the sun for 12 hours a day when you can make the same money doing basic clerical work in an air conditioned office
or slightly less hours, and money at retail even.
In Australia, Construction workers, mining workers, etc. do that. They are just compensated well for it.
Sounds like they need improved worker protections. Maybe unionize.
12 hours of work a day is inappropriate.
Negative. Tons of trade jobs make bank and those guys work 12+ hours during peak seasons.
The pay does do it for some jobs. I was up on a rooftop in -10F wind at 1AM for several hours a month ago fixing a furnace. But I was being paid $50 per hour (in a very low COL area) to do it so I was happy to do it and would be hapy to do it again. I regualrly have to crawl around in the nastiest places in places like meat cutting plants, work in -20F freezers, or on rooftops in scorching heat, but I get paid well to do it and my employer treats me well so I can say I actually love my job. People will not only put up with some miserable conditions if you pay them enough and treat them well but they will often even enjoy it.
The problem is farm work is miserable while still paying like shit and, to top it all off, usually the ones in charge are entitled assholes like the one in the article.
For me it’s literally about hours per day. People shouldn’t have to choose between making a living and knowing their kids growing up.
But yeah, hard work should pay more to make it worth it.
Isn’t that just the free market in action? Can’t find workers, raise the wages until you do. Supply and demand right there. You demand workers and they demand you supply an acceptable wage.
No, not like that. These entitled workers should be falling over to thank their employer for the jerbs they created and kiss the ring for paying them what they are legally required to. Duh! (big /s on that one)
In defense of farms, they’re squeezed from both ends. She’s not entirely wrong that it’s getting harder and harder to be an independent farmer and as things get worse, the small farms are bought up by the mega corporations.
What she’s wrong about is that a carpetbagger from manhattan would ever do anything for her. One of the big things that would help small farmers get labor would be for this country to get a real single payer healthcare option. Many, many people would tolerate a lower wage if their healthcare was covered. We could also start getting rid of the subsidies that only the major farms get and are using it to undercut smaller farms. Two things the republicans would never do.
What do they want to pay? Minimum wage for 60 hours per week with no overtime.
When your business requires the exploition of cheap labor, you deserve to go bankrupt.

Why do they need immigrant help? I see a shitload of kids that can work the farm. That’s how my dad’s family operated an apple orchard north of Detroit. Of course, they all died from cancers after years of exposure to pesticides without PPE, but that’s a problem for later!
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Oh hell revive it…just after he or his friends buy it and use it to profit from your starving family.
They aint starving.
They will be.
Thoughts and prayers.
The liberal tears are from laughing too hard.
Whiner.
These people are so fucking stupid
I really don’t understand how these people think. A person reliant on government funding and immigrant workers votes for the guy who campaigned on cutting government funding and getting rid of immigrants.
Bootstraps.
Stupid cunt.
Oh damn, I’m definitely saving this one for later.
