MAGA farm owners say they can’t find American workers anymore

What percentage?
Well, according to the BLS a gender studies degree averages about $68,000 a year or less than most skilled trades pay with the largest occupation by persons with one being liars... err, lawyers at 6% of all holders.


That means there's plenty of individuals in that degree field that would be better employed as farm workers.

About 7% of sociology degree holders are unemployed so there's plenty of them too for farm work. Clinical psychologists are even more readily available at nearly 9%. Note: the average for college degree unemployment is about 2.5 to 3%.

There are plenty of unemployed Republicans. Why aren't they stepping up?
 
Well my friends that have a big farm about a mile or so from MAR. are already talking about making sure they can get enough pickers for the crops they plan on planting when they go back down there in Oct.
They don't know what they will do if they can't get enough to get their crop in, but plow it under and raise the price of what they do sell.
 
I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN BUT NOBODY ON THE RIGHT WOULD TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.

STILL WON'T I'M GUESSING.
Its not that people are lazy, its just that its too damn hot outside to be picking anything but a damn ice cold drink out the cooler. I personally wish they'd gather up all these damn teen thugs and put them in these fields to pick up the slack. But truth be told, tax payers will subsidize the losses and consumers will pay dealer for the lack of....its a win win win for MAGA.
 
You calling it a "living human" is an appeal to emotion fallacy.
If there is a heartbeat, there is life.
If the DNA is human, of what other species are you claiming the human fetus is?

This will not go well for you. Logic has never been your strong suit and you never think anything through.

Today was refreshingly cool. This has been a very mild summer, almost as if we're experiencing Global Cooling.

Your padded cell is affecting the signal.

Logic isn't your strong suit.

Your appeal to emotion indicates that the fetuses few weeks old are sentient persons.
 
Why aren't unemployed Leftists with useless gender studies and sociology degrees stepping up and working the fields?
Because there are few unemployed leftists. There are only stupid lazy white trash Republicans scapegoating black and brown people because Republicans can't face their own incompetence and inadequacies.

You're welcome.
 
Ah, fake farmers whining about a self-inflicted problem again. Fuck them. Most of them are just mooching off Uncle Sam to pay for their country squire country living, is all. They just plant whatever the govt. is paying for. I don't any real farmers who have labor problems, and they make good money.

As for the imaginary 'labor shortage', here's why 'they can't find good help n stuff'.


Launched after World War II and fine-tuned during the 1980s, the H-2A program was designed to allow farmers to temporarily employ foreign workers during periods of labor shortage. In reality, farmers are increasingly using H-2A to permanently replace American workers with a captive labor force. With little official oversight, growers simply turn away domestic workers, or offer wages so low that flipping burgers becomes more appealing. In effect, H-2A has turned NAFTA inside out: Since U.S. farms can’t go to the Third World, the federal government allows agribusiness to bring the Third World to U.S. farms.

...

Although the federal government oversees wages and working conditions, farmers often mistreat H-2A workers without fear of being penalized. A six-month investigation of the program by Mother Jones reveals widespread complaints that growers have threatened workers at gunpoint, refused them water in the fields, housed them in crumbling, rat-infested buildings where sewage bubbles up through the drains, and denied them medical care after exposing them to pesticides. Farmers control their visitors, their mail, even their weekly shopping trips. A study by the U.S. General Accounting Office notes that H-2A workers, knowing they can be deported at any time, “are unlikely to complain about worker protection violations, fearing they will lose their jobs or will not be hired in the future.” Workers say they have adopted several unwritten rules: Don’t gripe about wages and working conditions. Don’t seek the benefits you’re entitled to. Don’t make noise, even when your health is in jeopardy. “What you see, you must remain silent,” says a Jamaican H-2A worker assigned to a Massachusetts vegetable farm. “What you hear, remain silent.”

....


Rather than pay market wages, H-2A growers have instead developed a litany of schemes to ward off domestic workers. In Idaho, the Snake River Farmer’s Association urged its members to write backbreaking job descriptions to discourage Americans from applying. “Irrigators or pipe movers is a great job description because no one wants to move pipe,” explains an association handout. Farmers in other states have turned away U.S. residents for being a few minutes late for interviews, or for not knowing the fine points of federal labor law. In North Carolina, the Growers Association says it hires domestic workers after a simple five-minute phone interview — but state officials describe the process as intentionally inefficient and even hostile. “They go out of their way to discourage local workers from seeking employment,” Lee Albritton, a former job-service employee, wrote in a memo to his supervisors. In 1999, the state found jobs on non-H-2A farms for 12,700 domestic workers. By contrast, on H-2A farms, the state found jobs for only seven workers.

.... and a lot more.
