If anything, this hopefully illuminates to all Americans how much of our labor is provided by the periphery.
So MAGA isn't about the US being self reliant on produce and products after all?
No, they are just racist schmucks, just like we suspected
It's too bad that I don't give a fuck about farmers who voted to arrest their workforce. Put on a cowboy hat and harvest your produce yourself. This is what you wanted.
If you didn't notice, I also hate cowboys.
what about food security?
isnt the us even a net exporter?
I thought I was the only one who thought this. I've never met someone wearing a cowboy hat who had integrity.
Who could have seen this coming.
They were totally blindsided
I wonder how many of these farmers in Texas voted for Trump? My guess is the majority of them. You reap what you sow.
Actually this year is "Nobody reaps what you've sown and it rots in the field" but that's not as succinct.
It's one of those rare moments when both something and its opposite are objectivelly true.
I'm sure there are plenty of Republicans willing to take a job for shit pay that is back breaking and dangerous right?
Good news, Texans: the tailor that makes bootstraps didn't vanish overnight
Hope it hurts.
It's gonna hurt a lot more.
Did anyone else get ai vibes while reading the article? Idk if it's just me but the writing seemed so generic like something chat gpt spits out.
Yes.
So that was written by AI, right?
You telling me that "Animal planet HQ" might not be a reliable political news source?
It really felt like it, but it has a human’s name on the byline, fwiw. And there were some “rounded corners” that made me think a person edited it a fair bit.
human’s name on the byline
In a different magazine they used human names for their AI. Turned out the profile pics came from ThesePeopleDoNotExist
Disappointing to see such slop so heavily upvoted just because it fits what people want to see.
Texas can survive all on its own!
I think ICE wellness farms will find the guards being murdered and the slaves being armed.
Who needs food anyway?
Good. Let them starve. Maybe they’ll do something about it.
Um......who's "them" in this scenario? Because if the farms shut down, that means EVERYBODY starves. Can't feed the public if there's no food supply.
My guess is “them” = Americans? This (for now) is largely a “them” problem and it’s unlikely anyone will really push back until most people lose their bread and / or circuses. It makes sense. Most people want to just “be” and live peacefully, and will avoid disruptions until they can’t.
I hope they find a way to correct their government before things get to starvation though.
Can't wait to hear all about why this is the Democrats' fault.
Starvation for you, and for you, and for you!!
Do you think that the only food available in Texas is that which is grown in Texas?
They ain't paying Mexico prices fer sure
Texas exports a lot to Mexico and Canada. This is not something that will only affect the US. Here's a link for some of that if you're curious.
Good.
