Can we point out the obvious? Farmers rely on exploiting desperate migrant workers in violation of labor laws. Milk should cost more than it does, because it is perishable and labor intensive to produce.
It is not a good thing that ICE is sending people to death camps, nor is it ok that we are abandoning the rule of law to do it. But those are the victims. The farmers who have lower profits because they can no longer access illegally cheap labor are the real criminals.
Get fucked I never once in my life met any poor farmer like you are speaking of, those days are long gone. Maybe one day I will shed a tear for a business that isn't viable because they depend on exploiting labor to extreme measures and not paying a living wage. We are all victims of the capital class, you're just one step away from being a millionaire though right?
You spend a lot of time at farms?
I reckon.
