We are not slaves. Fuck off. If your business can't survive, then you go out of business.

But think of the exposure you'll get!

  • Exposure to sunburn
  • Exposure to insect bites
  • Exposure to the elements
  • Exposure to pesticides and agriculture chemicals

Yeah it's a good idea until you consider that the 'business' feeds your nation. You're not talking about airlines being bailed out etc.

If your nation is too poor to afford the food it grows then you're already fucked.

The reds have actually taken over our country.

We need to stop Chairman Trump, the communist who hates America and want to destroy our freedom and our way of life.

(can we just call the MAGAts "communist"? seems like a more potent word in this 21st century red scare era)

That picture looks like a tobacco field, which is a dangerous crop to pick. Americans would quit immediately if forced to pick their own.

AS someone Coming from a farm: Leave us the fuck alone with unskilled workers.

Modern farms are usually optimised to minimise the need for human workers. This means, that those that are needed need certain skills. A lot of the required skills can not be learned in a single year just from working on a farm. The only farming sector that still heavily relies on human workers are farms that produce vegetables. Always having to retrain your entire workforce every single year will cause problems and is not worth it for a lot of farms.

Calling a single policy Maoist because it was implemented by the Maoist regime is the same as calling the concept of socialised healthcare a Nazi policy because it was implemented by the Nazi regime.

I neither agree nor disagree with this policy on the basis that I don't know enough about the logistics and implementation to give an informed opinion, but to refer to it as Maoist is glib and incorrect as Malaysia, Zambia and Nigeria already have agricultural national service and, although Malaysia is a communist country, none of them are aligned with the CCP or the Maoist Revolutionary movement.

Its basically a parody of how every right leaning idiot calls boring right leaning centrists like Democrats "Extreme Left Communism".

The nazis did not implement national Healthcare. That was something done by Bismarck. And Bismarck was no bleeding heart liberal.

You know, you have to have a solid, repeatable plan for farm success, 5 years sounds about right.

American citizens can't afford to live on farm wages.

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 9 points 2 weeks ago

Huh. Well what if we built areas with housing and transit cheap enough that farm wages are enough to live on?
