I gotta say it is extremely wild watching the Free Market Defense Crew stumble over the extremely basic concept that if you cannot attract workers with the wages you& #39;re offering then the problem is that you aren& #39;t offering enough incentive, i.e. wages, to do the job you want done https://twitter.com/j_diddle/status/1316249314537086977">https://twitter.com/j_diddle/...
"People don& #39;t want to pick fruit these days!" yeah no shit, fruit picking is hard, shitty work and it& #39;s typically done by underpaid migrant laborers who generally lack better options, it& #39;s not exactly a huge surprise that people with a choice of jobs tend to not want to do it
"But if we close the border to migrants then our crops will rot because we can& #39;t entice people to work for us without the implicit threat of imminent starvation and/or deportation" hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ah yes, the problem is nobody values hard labor these days
I& #39;m reminded of the time the US government tried to run a patriotic program to get college students to pick crops and it failed miserably https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/07/31/634442195/when-the-u-s-government-tried-to-replace-migrant-farmworkers-with-high-schoolers">https://www.npr.org/sections/...
