In a place where local, legal help was nearly impossible to keep<' the Post is reporting before adding, "But then Trump,

At least three typo mistakes in this article. The degree of publish-fast-don't-edit in our "journalism" is off the scale. I hate it.

Anyway, this is what you voted for, asshole.

No. Shit.

Especially not when OSHA is simultaneously being dismantled.

Just wait until we get those pesky child labor laws rolled back, then there’s a fresh new crop of serfs for the fields

This is all designed to drive the family farm out of business and make land cheap.

Wow. So much ignorant hate here, as always in the enlightened misinformation age.

Most farms aren't corporations. In America for example more than 80% of farmers are smalltime. They don't dictate their profits or the wages they can afford to pay, or influence the prices of their crops or all the crap they have to buy to do farming. A typical American farmer makes $40-50k a year, and every year they risk going into the red or bankruptcy because of fluctuating prices. I really don't know why anybody in their right mind would keep farming. Family tradition or whatever - apparently it's "in their blood".

As always, a lot of people here have jumped right onto the binary world tailgate, using their vast 3-second attention spans to make a value judgement about who wears the black and white hats in the situation and who's evil, then they thumb-type a few decisive words of irrefutable justice wisdom - in this case about evil farmers treating people like slaves.

It's great that Lemmy is non-corporate and part of the fediverse, but after 7 or 8 months here I'm more and more developing the opinion that it's just another kneejerk ignorance shithole on the social media superhighwqy. Scroll on, brave justice warriors, scroll on! And enjoy your lunch.

How would the couple, who had no health insurance, pay for their daughter’s care if the administration and Congress gutted Medicaid?

Awww. That sucks. Your prolonged suffering as your entire lifes work slowly collapses around you, crops dying and cattle being sold in order to try and prop up what little you have left as you scream at everything around you....

Oh it's going to be so fucking entertaining.

So much of the argumentation around this topic sounds the south arguing for slavery except it's liberals arguing for exploitative labor.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 26 points 6 days ago

Yes but no. These people should be allowed in to work, legally and with workers protections. Not exploited.
