I thought that Covid would have been enough of a trial run for that.

At least in my country it was that. You know, it was Covid, with the highest unemployment rate since quite a long time, and farmers ran nation-wide ads looking for workers. They increased the pay sometimes up to 2-3x. They promised housing in nice hotels. And still, nobody wanted to do the job and that year there was just no strawberries on the shelves.

The only way working as a farm hand makes sense is if:

  • The workers have no decent other option
  • Working on a farm is safer than working at home
  • Money is worth a lot more where they are from, so that the meagre salary they make in the target country is worth multiple times of that back home, so that the €1000-1200 they make over here turn into the equivalent purchasing power of €4000-6000 back home.

Just buy a Musk-branded, doge- approved, exploding slave neck collar and perimeter fence kit. Keeps your child employees motivated, on-task, on-location.

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.

remind me of the post after brexit

I’m surprised that they haven’t considered using prison labour yet.

It is also ironic that people in the US criticize alleged slavery in other countries but ignore their agricultural economy

[-] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 19 points 3 months ago

I'm pretty sure parts the US are actively using prison labor already. It varies by state, but I remember reading about one state where they were basically renting out prisoners to companies. I think they used the term "hiring", but the money the company paid didn't go to the inmate... The prison system has been one of the larger atrocities in the US for a while now.
