They quit after a few hours…….Farmers can’t find workers

[The Duke]

Ever seen how fat americans are. Europeans are a lot healthier. They don't have wetbacks out in the fields
Ever seen the weight of the average tsa worker. LOL

TSA did a LOT of DEI hiring, lemme tellya.
That thing, has never been good.
I have not flown since they started it.
A few Air Marshals per plane and TSA could go away.

We have chronically told our citizens you can't work because you're mistreated, started paying people to not work, subsiding business with illegal foreign labor to swell the congressional districts, winked at them sending money out of the country to promote more migration, gone in debt to support this "cheap" labor, allowed the manufacturing and importing of drugs to replace legitimate and beneficial labor, and encouraged the indoctrination of our children to sell their product. You have no idea what that head of lettuce costs or who pays for it.

 

[initforme]

Simy double the wages. More will stay. Then up it again if need be. Pretend to pay people pretend to work.

 

[Paleman]

well, yeah..but construction likes cheap labor, as does food processing plants and the Dairy industry.
Everyone likes cheap produce--and cheap food.
This is an age-old problem...and shipping all the good-paying jobs off-shore did not help.

What are you trying to say, we should all work for nothing with no benefits, just because everyone wants cheap stuff? You damn well would not champion that idiotic policy if it was your job that took the hit.

So how did Americans eat before illegal immigration? How does any nation eat unless they all have illegal slave labourers?

They worked. Many in coal mines, fields or factories.
Now the factories are run by AI robots. So who cares if our factories are returning, American won't get the jobs, robots will.
I don't have any answers to anything, just watching the 'changes'.

Then why do the factories move to Mexico and China if robots are doing all the work?

Hmmm....

Maybe you don't see what will happen.
If you thought you didn't like how big pharma fixes prices wait until big farma takes over.
Family farms can't afford $1 million automation to pick crops, but big farma doesn't blink twice. And they'll end up buying up those family farms, or charge them for using their $1 million automation.

Family farms use automation all the time. It's cheaper than illegals. The machinery and operator is rented. The work is done in 1/4 the time and there's no insurance. I'm in the middle of farmland, I don't see any workers in the fields. Just machines.

Maybe for the same reason many are leaving the nation to invade American?
Not much technology in third world nations.
Which is sometimes a good thing ,other times a bad thing.
Maybe once tech gets a big fat hold on us, we'll be invading the third world, by then it will be ok, because all the permanent 'Siesta' type will be here.
America is getting too nig for its britches with all these robots running around.
Imagine being in a war with an enemy that you can't kill or destroy, if injured, it will just repair itself, while you bleed out.

Or if its even still lettuce? I feel so sorry for the youth now, no wonder they are so nuts. Their future isn't looking too good.
I sometimes complain about them then I realize the reasons, which some are mother's who left their newborns for boardroom's.
Then too some mothers have to work because many men no longer take care of their families.
Its a strange new world.

Because they lie and say labor costs are too high here. Thats untrue of course.

AI Overview

Donald Trump's trade war with China significantly impacted US soybean farmers by leading to decreased sales to China,
a crucial export market. This trade dispute resulted in China shifting its soybean purchases towards Brazil, causing a loss of market share that US farmers have struggled to regain. In fact, soybeans accounted for 71% of the $27 billion in reduced US agriculture exports from mid-2018 to the end of 2019.
To offset these losses, the Trump administration provided US farmers with $23 billion in assistance. However, experts argue that farmers would have been better off without the trade war in the first place, citing associated costs for consumers and businesses, along with increased trade tensions.

China made record ag purchases and 2020

one of those dei hires asked me why I stepped thru the metal machine with my shoes on, and I replied b/c I'm over 75 and I don't have to. I could tell he was pissed that I new the this inside rule

You hate brown people so much

If You've Heard of Someone, Don't Listen to Him

Because Americans have been made to believe in the hired opinionists, who are superficial and self-interested, we don't dare challenge the obvious non-sequitur and strawman that racial judgments are only about something as irrelevant as skin color.

The Snob Mob that controls our opinions denies us the ability to make judgments based on experience and common sense, which, because of the worthlessness of a system that allows an Heiristocracy, is looked down on from above as a low-class way of thinking that can be dismissed because it's the way "commoners" think.

Good question, who knows.

Anecdotal...

If it becomes systemic we can talk...

AFTER the Illegals have been sent home...

Immigration Reform does NOT mean "Let everyone who is already here remain."..

Such talk can revolve around Temporary Work Visas...

Perhaps we should open-up a Federal -level "Migrant Worker Bureau" (MWB)...

If you're in-need of migrant workers, you apply to the MWB, asking for worker-bees with Skill A or B or C...

Foreigners can register with the MWB to make themselves available for temporary duty in the US...

The MWB then matches the employer with the worker bee and if both parties accept the MWB facilitates the transaction...

The MWB issues a Temporary Work Visa at the border upon arrival and facilitates transportation to the work site...

The MWB "chips" the worker bee... an under-the-skin locator-chip... as part of the bargain to issue the Work Visa...

The MWB issues arrival-time limited vouchers for housing and food and transportation to the worker bee...

The MWB then sends the bill to the employer for recruiting, work-visa, housing, food and transportation...

The employer confirms arrival and from then-on the employer and worker-bee are "on their own" for the duration...

When the Temporary Work Visa expires the worker-bee must leave; if they don't, we use the chip to find them...

Anyone removing the chip is subject to an automatic $5K or $10K fine and a year in Federal prison...

The worker-bee is allowed to send money "back home" but there may need to be limits imposed... TBD...

Fun ideas to play with...

Interesting but right now we're afraid to ask them where they were born or they're real name out of misled shame and loathing. We have a way to go.

Hmmm....

They go to avoid red tape, regulations, and the bribes are cheaper overseas. not much cheaper, but the crooks there are more honest too.

That is changing even as we write these snippets... past-due, really, and, perhaps, the salvation of the Republic in the long run.
