Get ready for big price increases for your fruits and vegetables thanks to Trump.

[Elwood P Dowd]

His Hitler-style immigration policies are causing a massive shortage in farm workers. I remember reading the other day about a farmer that raised his wages from less than $10.00 an hour for the celery harvest work to over $20.00 an hour and still couldn't attract enough workers. The normal seasonal immigrant workers are disappearing.

With rising gas prices and rising food prices, will the brainwashed Trump Davidian voters wake up?

Just do a Google search like this one - page after page of articles about the shortage of farm workers.

2. I feel like we need to have this to happen at once. That is the only way to get people to care. nt

3. about time

I'm not that upset - farm workers are typically taken for granted and are horribly underpaid as it is. I'm sure the rethugs won't see past the higher prices they are paying in their grocery stores, but any reasonable democrat shouldn't have a problem paying a bit more knowing the workers are finally making more money in the fields.

8. The point of the OP is

that there are no farm workers to be had at any price. That will mean less available food as well as much higher prices.

4. Don't forget the seafood workers too.

I heard that crabs in Maryland are no longer "soft shelled" and other seasonal products are not being gathered either.

5. For years and years lots of businesses

have claimed they can't get Americans to do undesirable jobs. What's undesirable is the pay. And on the other end, the expectation that many things will be incredibly cheap.

6. looks like the Trump Davidians will need at least a year of hyperinflation to wake them up

and then, they'll find a way to blame Democrats and brown people for their suffering.

7. Good.

Nothing produces a political epiphany faster than a really expensive visit to the grocery store.

9. But isn't this what they want? The economy goes south, and then they blame it on a race of people.

[Blue_true]

12. Yep. They will blame it on POC and democrats.

Particularly if democrats take the House in November and put the brakes on Trump's BS.

10. Yes... and gas, appliances, cars... you name it

I certainly hope all dem congress people are using this in their campaign messaging. Nothing makes voters or potential voters more motivated than high prices at the pump.. at least here in the Midwest

11. Should we be exploiting migrant workers for cheap fruits and veggies?

[Blue_true]

13. A lot of people demand that workers get paid high wages.

But many of the same people want the cheapest meals, clothes, food, ect. There is no connection between higher wages and higher prices for products, you try to make that connection and get shot down as a Dino, and have CEO wages explained to you, liberally sprinkled with the word oligarch. CEO wages are a problem, but if we want workers to earn more, we need to accept that we will pay higher prices for products that those workers handle.

15. The Walmart Syndrome...

The discrepancy between earnings of owners and workers is at its highest in a long time. When does it end? Probably why people have stopped investing in the stock market (people are nervous about ultrahigh levels, been a while since a downturn) and real estate. Prices are getting ridiculous, especially when I read that a almost 600 sq. ft house in CA is almost going for a million bucks (started out at 1.2 million).

16. Fruits & veggies are for libtard snowflakes anyway. Real Murkans eat beef.
