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
“I hate black people unless they work on my plantation” - GOP voters
Sometimes it feels like being happy that Trumpers are suffering is like cheering when a disease dies with the host. It’s a momentary happiness that the Balrog fell… milliseconds before you realize it’s pulling you down with it.
The problem here is those farmers will now want to charge more. Even though their labor cost just went down.
unless they need to hire someone qualified to handle their administrative duties.
LOL. If they had been smart they wouldn’t have voted for trump.
“I voted to get kicked in the balls and I must say that I was shocked when I got kicked in the balls.”
Yeah, that’s too bad. ANYWAY . . .
So you are… Checks notes 2200 miles away from the border. I feel like even if we disregard them voting for trump and just judge them based on that being their main voting issue, they’re dumb as fuck, aren’t they?
The guy is worried about gangs, yet lives in rural Vermont. What a fucking idiot.
Never understimate the power of bigotry as a political motivator, in particular among the uneducated. Trump and his oligarch cronies certainly doesn’t.
Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump, the recent crackdown has prompted a deeper reckoning within his community
Umm, okay, no sympathy then. Burn.
Imagine being so dedicated to a politician/political party that you’re no willing to make a change that costs you 0$ to save your family business
This is exactly when the interviewer should have looked right in their eyes and said “so you didn’t learn a goddammit thing” then “enjoy your udders” then left.
These maga fuckers deserve all the worst
“We voted for racism, not poverty and hard work! We don’t want these jobs - they’re for the spi… I mean for those people.” --MAGA.
oh no, you lost access to the people you were viciously exploiting because of your racism?
well boo fucking hoo
Exploiting how? They were paid employees. Employed by idiots, obviously, but that in itself is not exploitative.
If they’re milking their own cows at 4 A.M. and complaining that there’s no migrants to do the work, then one has to wonder if it’s because they couldn’t hire a citizen at the rates they were paying. If they can’t hire a citizen at the rates they’re paying well…
…it means that citizens are too far above manual labor. Still doesn’t necessitate exploitation.
all wage slavery is exploitation
It doesn’t necessarily mean that at all, that is your own personal opinion, not fact. Pay people a decent livable wage and they will perform your manual labour.
“A red is any son-of-a-bitch that wants thirty cents an hour when we’re payin’ twenty-five!”
At least you guys are getting a parade for his birthday. That should be fun.
Guess who he will vote for next election. Nothing like repeatedly jamming a stick in your spokes.
