kill the rhetoric that americans are so lazy that they won’t take farm jobs. americans take labor intensive jobs all the time. the reason no americans will take farm jobs is because agricultural work is exempt from the vast majority of labor laws and labor protections, including the use of child labor. so only immigrants - people who have little to no protection from the law or other options for work - take most of these jobs. we have created a permanent underclass of labor and then say that americans are just lazy for not volunteering to be part of the underclass.
that is some perceptive insight. I probably think about brexit a lot more than most US citizens - mostly along the lines of ‘what’s it gonna take to reverse this shit show’ - but your confirmation of an equivalent over there struck me. Thanks for the insight.
