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
Or, you know, they could offer good wages and benefits to attract legal workers and charge enough for the milk to cover their costs. I’m lactose intolerant anyway, I don’t care if milk and cheese become a little more expensive. But I know, my idea is crazy.
What’s interesting in watching all this unfold is the revelation to us all just how unsustainable a lot of this is.
I’m doing ok, saved a bunch ahead of this dumpster fire bc I was afraid it’d happen. But it’s weird watching people suffer at their own self-inflicted consequences.
I want to help, but… 🤷
