Machia voted for Trump, drawn by promises of border control and national security. “We didn’t want drugs or gangbangers,” he said. But what he didn’t expect was losing some of his most dedicated employees to immigration arrests.

“It’s scaring the farming community,” Machia admitted. “We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”

LOL. Idiots

Knowingly using undocumented workers, complaining about not having a visa program to continue taking advantage of migrants he degrades, and would still vote Trump, too. I hope they get bird flu from a big face full of cow mucus.

What was wrong with the border? The farmer is a racist or a sheep. Sounds like both.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 17 hours ago

Fixing the border... You mean... The thing that statistics clearly show was being fixed by the Democrats?

Trump made you a better, harder working person. That’s not good?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

The farmer will not work more. He will pay more for workers and sell food for more.

It will rise prices for everybody. Which is good, because cheap prices came from essentially slavery.

You could hire Americans at living wage...

Oh no, I said the 'other' quiet part out loud.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, "the locals don't want to do this kind of work" at the wages I pay them.

It would drive up the cost of milk and milk products like baby formula, which is a hardship for poor families, but of course the government COULD step up more on WIC, because we know the GOP cares so much about babies and children!

Thinking now, I wonder how much of the American milk supply is bought by Nestlé. I bet there's a way they could eat the extra cost and still make a profit, just not an obscene profit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Globally nestle got about 6.6 million tonnes of milk in 2016. If they were producing as their own country this would get them to ~27th place. The US (#2 behind India) produced over 100 million tonnes of milk in 2022. So probably 3-5% of US milk supply goes to Nestle.

Unless they're regulated to do so no company will ever eat a cost instead of making more profit.

And obscene profit while destroying poor families is kind of their brand.

These dipshits got screwed during his last term. They couldn't have had a better example of exactly what he was going to do.

they forgot it because, fox purposely bombards with so much other culture war bs they moved onto the next big panic. anyone who watchs any form of right wing media, besides fox: includes JRE, any of the grifters podcasts or the propaganda networks is unlikely to seek outside those bubbles for info. i know someone that recently bought YE's slippers, or crocs. and he believed YE was just faking being a nazi supporter.

Wtf is the sarkari form?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 15 hours ago (4 children)

Farmers will pay more to hire local workers and they can sell their products for more because everybody has to pay more. This will effectively rise minimum wage for every citizen because demand for legal workers will increase.

Are only the farmer short sighted or do the emotions in this post come from people who know what is coming? Soon there will be a time when prices for food will rise but wages have not adjusted. It's not the farmers who will work more but every above minimum wage worker whose wages don't adjust.

Regular citizens have profited of human trafficing and low wages for unskilled workers.
