Not many folks, except perhaps those living in CA, and some of the farmers in the South, understand the role migrants play in getting crops to the table. They did this migrant deportation threat once before fairly recently, and not just CA was affected. Farmers in the South could not even locate workers to pick their berries, or even corn, to get it to harvest. So the crops sat in the field & rotted. This is back breaking, often dangerous work, most Americans simply will not do.
It is a well known fact that in Germany, for example. Polish seasonal workers for years traveled to Germany to pick their crops. Once again, the Germans were simply not willing to do this work. The Polish economy began getting stronger, with a more developed middle class, and they too became less and less interested in traveling to Germany to perform this task. One of the reasons, in my belief, that Germany allowed 2+ million Syrians into their country. My strong supposition, and belief, now that the Poles are no longer doing it, is that the newly emigrated Syrians are picking crops.
It is a complicated issue that looks good on a broader scale, but on the ground is very different. Right now we need these migrants. You cannot "develop" people to pick crops and do the work, that they very simply are unwilling to do.
I picked tomatos,watermelons,cantaloupe, cukes,citrus growing up.
I don't buy the Americans won't do it line.......should be Americans won't do it for that pay.
Same with construction we have plenty of labor just don't have anyone willing to pay for it.
I love following bubba and dababy but it's the breed that has had me since '81...I know what to expect and the proper dog delivers in spades...no longhairs in my future...
what the hell is that "redirect" note on your post pute...
When we were growing up we had a work ethic. I think that has disappeared today.
Juice, that’s a name I haven’t heard in years. He got a little bit too smart with me once and I had a brother of mine that was patched in HA offered to go over to Clearlake and do a burn out in his driveway just to let him know how easy it was to touch him… those were the good old outlaw days of overgrow…

A subject near and dear! The 'handle' actually 'means' something. i grew up on a dairy farm and live in an agricultural area. The owner of Jaemar Farms and our State Senator, place an add for farm workers paying $12.50 an hour. His 'usual' crew showed up and said,(paraphrasing),' We'll get it done by the end of the day, OR, pay us by the bushel and we'll be done by lunch'.
The people who are going to pay for these tariffs are Americans
I used to send them in vhs cases,no leaks
Costco clerks will soon make up to nearly $32 an hour
Costco says its new wage hike offers hundreds of thousands of workers pay and benefits that "far outpace others in the retail industry."

They advertise my town as the winter strawberry capital of the world. There’s tens of thousands of acres of berries everywhere you look and every day the big green buses go down the road full of migrants picking the fruit. I don’t know if they’re doing anything different down here, but they doesn’t seem to be a shortage of people working agricultural jobs, if it weren’t for the migrants, we wouldn’t have fruit or vegetables to eat because Americans will not do that kind of work for the money they get… I think there’s a big difference between illegal aliens and migrants…

Trump’s tariffs were targeted to specific sectors of imported products. [Steel, Aluminum, and a host of smaller sectors etc.] However, when the EU and China responded by devaluing their currency, that approach hit all products imported, not just the tariff goods.
Because the EU and China were driving up the value of the dollar, everything we were importing became cheaper. Not just imports from Europe and China, but actually imports from everywhere. All imports were entering the U.S. at substantially lower prices.
This meant when we imported products, we were also importing deflation.
This price result is exactly the opposite of what the economic experts and Wall Street pundits predicted back in 2017 and 2018 when they were pushing the rapid price increase narrative.
Because all the export dependent economies were reacting with such urgency to retain their access to the U.S. market, aggregate import prices were actually lower than they were when the Trump tariffs began.
That's cause you were POOR and it paid CASH. Most money i ever made was hawling hay, 25 cents a bale split 2 ways

I wrapped the end of the cuts with a piece of a wet paper towel. In to a zip lock bag with all the air squeezed out. so leaks were not an issue. I sent cuts to Australia like this and after 2 weeks in the mail they were fine upon arrival.
