If the Democrats were sane, they would run Fetterman. But they are not sane, so they will instead slip him something that induces a stroke.

My wife and her sister worked on tomato harvesters in the summer while they were in high school in the CA central valley during the 60s.

I lost my shit when I misread "Frank King Hoes His Beets" as "Frank King Beats His Hoes."

I think he's on to this possibility.That his party { Dimocrats } aren't
merely spoiled brats in the extreme.They are dangerously inclined
to destroy any patriotic American citizens for sheer effect.
I mean that is a non-brainer.
Way before even infirmed Joe Biden ran in 2020.

Followed by the lie, everybody should go to college.

There are a lot of young people (men) who would be ashamed to learn a trade

And plenty of women who would not date a tradesman

Wow, seriously, that's your point? That a film made by Hollywood was "Whitewashed" in the 1950's.

That they only filmed nice-looking white people (some of whom probably weren't actually farm workers, or do you think all farm workers were hot babes back then?)

Even back in the 1950s, most agricultural work was done by migrant workers.

If you are unclear on the point, you should probably read up on a fellow named Cesar Chavez.

My family are all tradesmen. They had no problem finding wives.

Now, there's almost a good point here, in that younger people don't want to get into the trades.

They've been sold on the plan that if they get a college degree, they'll get a nice, clean office job where they never have to get their hands dirty.

Conversely, though, my brother just retired from the trades (even though he's two years younger than I am.) After 40 years, he's worn out. He's had two heart attacks, and he's just not in very good health. Better off than my dad, who died at 56 due to constant exposure to Asbestos (although the smoking and drinking didn't help.)

My point is that mexicuns are not required to do farm work

I concede there lots of lazy white Americans but as the economy changes do will the need for migrant labor

Except they always have been, all the way back to the 1950s.

The problem was that we had a pretty good balance. The Mexicans would come up during harvest season, make some money, and go back to Mexico, living pretty well for the rest of the year.

Then people like you got upset about seeing brown people, and started insisting on tightening up the border. So instead of just coming for a few weeks every year, they decided to sneak across the border once with their families.

You leave out the other key component about why we have so many darned Mexicans in your precious white spaces. (Man, it would be so much easier to talk to you if you just admitted your racism!) In the 1990s, we signed NAFTA. NAFTA was actually a disaster for the Mexican Farm economy, when cheap, genetically engineered, government-subsidized American Yellow corn displaced traditional Mexican White Corn in the Mexican market.



Which means thousands of Mexican agricultural workers were displaced, and gosh, darn, we have all these open jobs here in the US because White people couldn't get off the farm and move to the city fast enough.

Propaganda from the 1950's still works on MAGA today.

Some things never change.

From 1942 to 1964, millions of migrant workers crossed the border from Mexico into the United States as braceros, a Spanish word for a “laborer who works with his arms.” As contract workers, they faced harsh conditions and had to pay for food and lodging while only receiving meager wages. Despite low pay, these migratory laborers continued to work through the Bracero Program, sending remittances back home to their families in Mexico.

Apologies for blowing up your idyllic image of an all white America when wholesome young girls did mindless tasks and then went home to bake a pie........in the kitchen..........where they belong. A time when women were proud to marry corn stalk tassel cutters making subsistence wages cuz it was honest work, dammit.

You have never read anything about Cesar Chavez. He was anti illegal immigration to the point of going onto farms and forcibly ejecting workers. Rumor had it that his brother was the enforcer who was not above termination. Cesar Chavez was a communist organizer who was all about unions and collective bargaining. His mentor was Fred Ross who was a follower of Saul Alinsky. Illegals undercut union wages. He fought them bitterly. Despite the insistence that he was a migrant himself, he was born in Arizona to a family that had long roots in Arizona.

The left is a huge purveyor of fake history.

My grandpa owned a "Fig Ranch" (why they called it a ranch, I don't know). My grandpa, grandma, dad, 3 uncles, and 1 aunt grew, harvested, boxed or canned, transported, and sold all the figs as a family unit without any outside help. This was in Modesto, CA which was a farming town with the majority of the population (90+ %) being White. Today, Whites make up around 35% of the population with Hispanics making up 45% (many of whom don't know a lick of English).

According to my dad, it was a very low crime area when he was growing up. Today it's 303.2 on the crime index with the national average being 235.3. In other words, it's a good place to avoid.

If I owned a small farm, I'd do the work myself.

With AI replacing many of the sit-down jobs future non workers cannot expect a cushy job with high pay

I’m sure the whites in the video didnt choose to do thst work because they like it but only because they had to

And Americans of all colors may have to again

Make that migrants in southern california

And even there it was not universal as late as the 1960’s

I sense that AI and Automation will play a huge role in future farming. There's already a lot of automated and mechanical shortcuts being used in farming and ranching but we probably haven't seen anything yet.

If I were a young man, I'd start learning how to be a robot mechanic or an AI / IT specialist. Someone is going to have to fix these machines and repair the software when things go haywire.

I did not say all white Americans worked on farms or whatever crazy straw-man you are using

I’m merely abusing the lib notion that white Americans are genetically above or have somehow evolved beyond doing physical labor
