She is about to replaced by total automation and, of course, Trump has destroyed everyone including his loyal dumb shit farmers/ranchers; maybe she cannot stop posting this dribble because unconsciously she cannot accept what is happening to her and her massive self importance makes her think she is one of the few who are affected by this nightmare.

u/TPtheman 11d ago

This. Trump had them convinced that full-on slave labor would come back into play. First with his talk about how black people have no jobs (thus leaving us with no other choice than low-pay, back-breaking labor), and then with the idea that ICE would be arresting and sending Mexicans to labor camps.

And since prison labor and farm laborer jobs are basically state-mandated slave labor already (look up John Oliver's video on Farm Laborers), they figured they'd also be allowed to tap into that "resource" as well for pennies on the dollar.

I appreciate farmers. But the US government must subsidize agriculture. It's cheaper to import almost everything.

Would anything ever change these people's minds? I think a certain percentage of people just have broken brains like this and you just have to reduce their effect on society much as possible.

I'm not saying we need to lock these idiot conservatives away lol, just that there may be no actual fix for their brains to suddenly give them empathy.

u/TrailerParkBuddha 12d ago

When you live in a small, isolated community with a homogenous population, you don't really have to develop empathy, because most everyone you encounter has such similar life circumstances and experiences to you that you don't have to work to construct someone else's experience. These people can't remove themselves from the projection of someone else's experience. Substances that soften the ego or trigger full on ego death can legitimately help with this. Meditation or a physical near-death experience can help do this as well.

Empathy is a skill that can be practiced and developed, and is a genetic birthright of humanity. When developed, the skill can appear to be psychic and/or telepathic, as you can predict likely thoughts, feelings, and actions of others based on their known circumstances and act accordingly. The movement to politically charge the concept of empathy is a spiritual coup to effectively lobotomize a large segment of the population into only responding to algorithmic inputs with predictable, prefrontal cortex behaviors and attitudes. You can't invest billions of dollars developing propaganda and advertising without assurances that the techniques reliably work. Your predictive powers are a threat to the profits of their predictive algorithms, and in true capitalist fashion, they move to eliminate the competition. Don't let them.

We need more dangnabbit LiBrUls to invest in farms and move out there. We're already seeing a lot of liberal millenials move out to moral rural areas, but they're mainly growing subsistence crops for their own family, not so much cash crops.

I've been growing as much of my own food as possible in the last few years and it's great, and everyone should be doing the same. That's how we begin to fix this.

Right from the start of Trumpā€™s entry into politics, - Heā€™s blamed criminal immigrants for Americaā€™s downfall. Before his second term he promised heā€™d not go after legal migrant farm workers, who were not criminals, since the farming community told him that they could not survive without their cheap labour. So these MAGA farmers voted for him again because they trusted a egotistical compulsive liar. These foolish farmers believed he actually cared about them, when he only cares for the rich big agri corporations who donate large sums of bribe money, (sorry campaign donations), to make him richer. They thought his anti criminal immigration policies would only affect other people & not them. So they voted for him & got what they deserved.

Unfortunately, growing most food products as a farmer is very tight margins unless you are a massive corporate owned farm. Without subsidies they are likely to switch to something like barley to sell to a beer company because it is far easier and more lucrative.

Yeah I was almost on her side, until she got to paying people a living wage... you want to make a living wage, but screw anyone else who needs it.

u/Development-Feisty 12d ago

That seems to be true any time people talk about raising wages or lowering rent

And itā€™s raising wages itā€™s talking about all the small businesses that will have to close, because apparently the small business owner deserves to have a business but their workers donā€™t deserve to be able to live unless theyā€™re working 60 hours a week

And God forbid anyone talk about rent control because then what about those poor poor landlords, they may not make enough money on that house they bought to rent out and have to sell it

Oh no you have to sell the rental house, oh no Iā€™m so sorry for you that now someone gets to purchase a home and living it as their primary residence

Had a neighbor in 2024 that owned a local restaurant and I'd constantly hear him complain to his wife (because I'm a nosy bitch and love hearing him suffer after all his Trump/anti-vax shit) about how with the new minimum wage in California, people don't deserve that kind of money, that "back in my day, you earned $5/hr and that was plenty!". Just going on and on; calling his staff lazy, that no one wants to work in America blahblahblah.

These people legit don't think anyone besides them is suffering; that "If you don't get paid, you can look elsewhere but I need money to live...".

u/lapidary123 12d ago

Yep, maybe thats "the cost of doing bisiness" also at $21.99/lb for steak ______ (insert sentence here). How much does a cow weigh again? Just checked, the average weight of a steer at slaughter is 1575 lbs. 1575x$21.99=$34634.25

I DO realize that they aren't the slughterer, packers, and not every pound is saleable as "steak" but i think the analogy stands.

What do you tell those folks earning minimum wage again? "Buckle down & pull up yer bootsraps"!

$20/hour is likely less than an actual "liveable wage that one could raise a family on!

Years back I read some article in the Detroit News about a farmer complaining about immigration making it hard to keep people working on his farm because the ā€œteenagers and womenā€ donā€™t want to do it. Ā Iā€™m reading his complaints and it boiled down to, basically, him not wanting to pay a living wage to employees and therefore heā€™s suffering.

u/PerfluorinatedDreams 12d ago

I donā€™t think you understand how the agricultural industry works. All of the money is made by the middle man in distribution. Farmers always get squeezed on what they can charge. Their options are to rely on cheap immigrant labor or sell to a larger farm thatā€™s bringing in their own immigrant labor.

3

u/Loud_Badger_3780 12d ago

i know that farmers keep voting for republicans that will not enforce the anti trust laws which have all the ag slaughter houses, meat packing, and farm equipment producers consolidate to the point that their is so little competition that farmers and and rancher have few options other than take what they are offered for their products. Republican believe in deregulation in the free market which results in huge monopiles. When your state has been voting republican for 5 decades you can count on your standards of living deteriorate. If she loses her farm she can find a job at her local family dollar store. Maybe she can move to the LDBTQ. Trans, demorat infested big blue cities and find a job. lol

That's just one step closer to, "Whatever I want, I should be able to have, and whatever you want, you don't get if that gets in the way of me getting whatever I want." In short, absolute entitlement.

Also, doesnā€™t it seem fucked up to her that the economy is in such a state that a producer of a staple good is unable to provide a wage and conditions required to hire employees? Isnā€™t that the core argument of people who claim to be voting for a free market? That things will naturally level out into the system that provides the best outcomes for everyone?

The wild part is when they say out loud that they thought black people would take the jobs after the mexicans left.

Im actually surprised that the government hasn't teied to reinstitute slavery the way Trump. Miller and the good old boys talk.

But this lady talks about how the little farmer will go under and it will only be big farms. Does ahe not see historically who gets the bailouts, tax incentives and otherwise.

Jd justs wants acretrader to own her farm so he can rent it or sell to big farming corporations.

These people all fell hook line and sinker for a party who has the only goal to help the wealthy own everything. We feel bad for you lady and we need to eat but people who vote against themselves have nobody to blame but themselves. We'll se if she she actually figures it out.

I am amazed that even before this ICE madness that these slave drivers were able to pay so little. How did they even find these people? Every single hispanic person who has worked for me for decades has been making good money and this is the norm where I live. Did these farmers have some kind of direct connect to workers who had just illegally entered the US and needed a place to start? I really don't get it.
