Trump admin lackeys will chuckle at the cruelty they're causing to immigrants and SoCal farmers... and then get a lesson in where their food comes from
Trust me. They will find someone else to blame other than their orange lord. Clearly it’s California’s fault, if they raked the leaves they’d have enough workers to pick the food.
Most of California's citrus farms are in the San Joaquin Valley, which is represented in congress by Democrats. So don't see the GOP giving much of a stuff/they'll blame Gavin Newsom.
My main area of study is food and power dynamics throughout history. America's food supply is tenuous in the best of times. Controlling food is a tactic that dictators have used since the beginning of time. It is also one of the most powerful weapons in class warfare.
Trump’s team were well aware of the potential problems in the Californian fruit industry & yet their compliant ICE agents targeted that area first bcos, well, California init?
It’s just an indication of the obtuseness to come in the next four years; and beyond if the 🍊 one gets his way
Frump wants to eliminate oranges from America so he can force tech to then eliminate the 🍊 from the internet because it's utilized too much in relation to him.
https://bsky.app/profile/indy.bsky.social/post/3lgrxmyy4h22v The interesting question to me is that the pattern (see Colombia thing) is to just do stuff and roll back when it looks bad - but what things do they not understand the badness of, or are not easily rolled back?
The only possible upside is that the lack of cheap manpower without options could spur investment in agricultural efficiency and hardware. But that is long-term.
This is more like the US occupation of Iraq which and i'm not making that up is something the P25 idiots compared their plans himself to . Which newsflash did not go well.
