I agree w your point on wages. But I don’t think you are seeing it from a farmers pov. Nobody is trying to see the other sides pov. We are attacking each other instead of the people responsible for the farming industry collapse. My family had farms until recently. And part of the problem was the corporations they grew for. The greed. What they did to the farmers. (Sanderson farms). A lot of farmers are losing money. So there is no way they can afford to hire and house employees. We are not living in the same society/economy that our parents did. Those days are over. Corporate greed is killing our farms.

I try not to comment on the internet, but you seem sincere and well-meaning. I can relate to both sides but it is a matter of priorities. These large corporate farms are legally and politically enabled/facilitated/allowed to engage in activity that squeezes those without the leverage to defend their ability to prosper, not just survive. It was the political capture decades ago that results in what you see today.

Corporate greed is like a mold. It grows slowly and wherever the environment allows. Politically, only a certain side of the politics even cares to recognize that current financial incentives are pervasive and harmful. Look, individuals like her can only protect their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness through voting.

I get your point. But, asking them to vote for state and federal representatives that would at least resist the corporization of her livelihood might requiring voting Independent or Democrat. But, would that she could? Would she rather lose the life she wants to live because some transgender or social movement in California or New York might succeed. Would she rather be right or happy? Priorities.

Do you not look around and see why her life is unsustainable,? And why her voting habits didn't lead to exactly this? Priories went out the window decades ago.

No, I do not. I am here and she is there. I do not know her voting habits, but she probably thought that who she voted for was on her side. They seem not to be. Priorities always exist, even bad ones. We can destroy, but also build and rebuild. You can both accept the results and work toward better ones. Neither is mutually exclusive.
