Trump Agriculture Chief Mocked for Suggesting Medicaid Recipients Could Replace Deported Farm Workers

  Do they not understand that Medicaid recipients work? Often full time jobs or even multiple.

  When will they have time to labor for farmers? Are they quitting their jobs? In that case they will need at least minimum wage, and farm workers get sub minimum wage, so the food system will collapse due to skyrocketing prices.

  This is why we can only get immigrants to do the job in the first place.

  I think this is just a regular dystopia, not a boring dystopia

  FARMING IS SKILLED LABOUR. YOU CANNOT JUST REPLACE THOSE DEPORTED FARM WORKERS WITH JUST RANDOM PEOPLE.

  This was the plan all along. Them, prisoners, abandoned kids, etc.

    Once the soul is extracted such silly concepts are irrelevant.

    We’ve always been in that phase. To these people having no money is a moral sin deserving a life of misery and death.
