No vegetables? Let them eat cake. – Trump in a month.
The internment camps will be built on farms and prices will go down. It’s all part of the plan.
Expect an order to make state prisoners pick food..you know, like slaves.
It’s fine you guys. They can just hire all the Americans to work the fields. Wait, what do you mean they don’t want to work the fields? What do you mean they don’t want to make less than minimum wage? What do you mean the only way to attract American workers is to pay a livable wage well above the current cost thus either putting a lot of farmers out of business and/or *massively* increasing the price of food?
Who could have possibly seen this coming other than anyone with the ability to think about things for more than 2 seconds?
This is what the country wanted and now we all suffer. SMFH
Thoughts and chairs. This is what the voters voted for in November. Now we get to reap what we have so stupidly sowed.
An ego manic on his much talked about revenge tour and to keep his convicted ass out of jail. This was his only concern for his presidency. Now he gets to drink Diet Coke and golf for the next 4 years while his clown car admin burns our republic to the ground and loots every last penny they can strip away from us.
But hey its better than the black woman, am I right? /s
We deserve everything that is coming to us and to this idiot country in the next 4 years.
Can we get “I did that” Trump stickers for every aisle in the grocery store?
Trump seems to be taking economics lessons from Pol Pot.
This is a plan to bankrupt small farmers so big corporations can buy the farm land. You get what you vote for:/
Groceries are about to get so fucking expensive
Just wait till y’all see that grocery bill. You thought inflation was bad before? you are going to enjoy the next 4 years. I wonder how much of a bailout he’s going to end up having to give Farmers, he did it the first time too
And these are the idiots who voted for him.
He has to get rid of the people that harvest the food first… Its called “a concept of a plan.”
Either trump will kick those illegal immigrants out and the Republican will celebrate, or he will change his stance, and Republican will call him the kindest president for keeping illegal immigrants here and lowering the price of grocery.
Trump has no principle, from the way he change his stance on tiktok.
And Maga has no spine for calling his bs or memory of a worm.
Farm workers have not shown up in Sacramento all week either. Good luck getting avocados and almonds soon!
Out of curiosity, why aren’t the unemployed maga folk going to work there? Isn’t that what this is about? Like just hire those people
They’re going to criminalize homelessness, unpaid debts, etc so they can fill up prisons to use as laborers for jobs left empty by deported migrants
“I miss my slaves by proxy” whomp whomp whomp
That’s what the farmers get. They’re the most oblivious of all the maga supporters. They’ve been fucked by the government time and time again but they keep voting for their own demise. I would hate to be them pouring all your blood sweat and tears into agriculture just to get shafted again and again. I’m not even optimistic that this country will learn the hard way. I feel that we are so stubborn as Americans that we will stand our ground even if it means our own demise
Completely predictable by anyone who’s been working in ag. Vegetables, milk, eggs, meat – our cheap food prices are on the backs of these vulnerable laborers and they do not deserve to be treated as scapegoats.
As someone who lives in Bakersfield I don’t care if it is above minimum wage. I’m not working the god damn fields.
Also, I voted for Kamala.
I anticipate lots of rotted fruit on the vine come next harvest
Don’t panic. Trump will instruct Elon to “DOGE the shit” out of this problem and create a new department. The Department for Unemployed Masses Backed into Agricultural Slave Service.
Elon will recruit all those MAGA unemployed to roll-their-sleeves and go a pick those vegetable.
Farmers who voted for Trump knew this right? Serves them right
We could all afford more expensive food if 20% of our income was not being spent on fucking healthcare. I’m not saying we should kick people out that contribute to our economy, I’m saying those people deserve to make more money. Whether they are immigrants, or college kids that go to night school, they are literally feeding America.
If your economy needs undocumented modern slave labor to keep prices in check, it should crash and burn. God forbid we ever grow up, pay people livable wages for work, and if needed subsidize things that are too costly.
Idk if anyone is going to read this, but I think I see what’s happening, and it’s not going to be pretty. We probably will deport a lot of people at first, but that costs money. So what they’ll start doing is putting illegal immigrants in private prisons and making them work for practically free (Commissary money, or company script.) So illegal immigrants will still be picking our crops they’ll just be doing it at gunpoint. Since these prisons will be privately owned, it will cost the taxpayer twice what it would have cost to put them on welfare but still be cheaper than mass deportation in the short term. The businesses who benefit from this free labor will have plenty of money to lobby Congress to keep it going. They’ll start adding homeless people and non-violent drug offenders to the mix and make them Capos who police and spy on other prisoners for preferential treatment and the possibility of release. If you think voting democrat will stop it, you’re probably wrong. Liberal politicians will likey oppose it publicly but not do anything meaningful to stop it. As a plee for bipartisanship they’ll probably suggest illegal immigrants in these detention centers could work for their citizenship and they might implement something for individuals who look good and say all the right things in front of the camera to become American citizens but only a small percentage will make it. I hope I’m wrong, but it seems like that’s where we’re heading. God help us all.
Here is what I think will happen.
1. All immigrants are rounded up and sent back to countries of origin.
2. No one works those fields and then farmers need to pay 30 bucks an hour for people to harvest the fields.
3. Prices of food skyrocket and the brokies who voted him will suffer immensely.
4. The Republicans that kicked out all of the immigrants will realize “oh man, we need immigrants for more than sex trafficking” and then they will try to suck themselves off when they come up with some streamline some kind of immigration process to bring those farm workers back.
5. (Hopefully) The immigrants realize that they are actually a valuable part of the united states economy and they tell the Republicans to eat a dick to taking the same money they used to get paid and they either unionize or organize to ensure they get significantly better pay, living conditions and protections under the law.
Everyone who voted for him deserves every second of the suffering that is coming their way.
If your systems depend on people that break the law, then you have problems.
I’ve said it once and will continue to say it again. LEARN TO GROW YOUR OWN FOOD. Not only for the control you have on what you put in your body but also the ability to grow something for yourself. There are lots of calorie dense foods such as; potatoes, squash, sweet potatoes, beans/ peas and corn that are simple to grow and cultivate.
Not to worry, Qult45 will blame someone/something else.
How will MAGA spin this? Deflect and complain about the left as they always do. That’s one of the main reasons they voted for him.
This all started with Reagan. Companies wanted cheap foreign labor.
So many unemployed people would enjoy those jobs. Working with nature. Sounds nice
As soon as he won the presidency, he said it was “too hard” to lower grocery costs
But wait a minute, aren’t these going to be “black jobs?” I don’t think so!
Oh good. MAGAtes now can get off their lazy asses and take the farm labor jobs, they claim everyone wants to have. /s
The Big Fat Orange 🤡 is going to make everything worse by far. Those of you who voted for him join the circus and stop crying. You wanted it now deal with it .
Good. I hope those farmers lose all their shit and end up under a bridge with their family. Since being homeless is basically illegal in some places, they can go to jail and then work for pennies. I love that Trump is president because all these maga, rural, & bible thumping pos are about to see what it’s really like to be oppressed
75%? Dang that’s a lot of lawbreakers
I wonder how long they will hold out. It’s not like most of them have essentially any savings so they will have to return to a job somewhere.
Again, we warned them
Excellent. MAGA will get what they deserve
They’re going to replace them with prison slave labor.
It’s going to get ugly, fast
I am sure MAGA will fill those positions! (Huge /s)
Lmao
He is kicking the middle class and working poor in the crotch and giving the wealthy 10 fingers.
Are we surprised? No
