You wouldn't see the truth if it bit you.

Of course I would and it has bitten me all through this thread.

Instead of believing everything one reads or trying to stuff what an old boss says into today's paradigm
It's probably better for one to research and come to individual conclusions
It isn't blame, it's called basic facts...
Stopping American Federal officers from enforcing a lawful order? FACT
spray-painted 'Fu-- America' all over downtown LA? FACT
threw a Molotov cocktail at a cop? FACT
burn the Stars and Stripes and multiple Waymo EVs? FACT
burned and looted the Democratic dominated Downtown Los Angeles, costing their leftist brothers and sisters stores millions in product losses, conservative estimates are already approaching 500 million in losses so far. ? FACT
losing party in an election gets extra pissy, goes absolutely bat shit bonkers with an historic number of injunctions, usurping the will of and disenfranchising the 52% of American voters. All within the first 200 days? FACT
The left almost always lose thier shit, when they protest it has to stop. Im all for peaceful non violent protests,and am ahuge believer of states rights
Im concerned about Pedro's plight, especially if Pedro has been in America for years and has been a law-abiding tax tax-paying citizen. I'd be all for a quick, painless process where long-term illegals who have been non-subverting, law-abiding, gainfully employed, and paid taxes get to stay. We just do not have that capability,
It's the criminal flood from the last 4 years that needs to be removed. Pedro is embedded with the criminal element
Furthermore more I know there will be sacrifices Americans will have to make, but the illegal population that's draining our resources and straining our infrastructure threatens the whole nation, and then there will be no America for anyone to sneak into.

Since when? You are on another thread whining about Americans spending tax money on a parade for Trumps birthday when in fact that's not what is happening. Even after having it explained to you, you still cling to the false narrative that you are promoting.
The TRUTH is that the riots, which attack federal officers in their official line of duty, in California are out of control and that OUR federal government have a right and a duty to send in the troops to squash them. Just like Kennedy did with Wallace back in the 60s during desegregation. Same/same.

The we won't have any produce or livestock products without cheap workers is BS.
Farmers and companies both need to become more efficient an industry can't hemorrhage that much in resources on product that goes into landfills. In my industry, if we had that much "spillage," lost costs, or waste, we'd lose 30% of our companies if not more
Maybe instead of trying to reduce cow farts, our tech companies need to find solutions for efficiency in our food production, storage and distribution. Look to Japan, they are superior to America in food production, storage, quality, and freshness.
In the U.S., about 133 billion pounds of food is wasted annually, with roughly 40% of food produced going uneaten. For produce and meat specifically: - Produce (Fruits and Vegetables): Approximately 50% of produce is wasted, equating to about 60 billion pounds. Supermarkets alone lose around $15 billion worth of unsold fruits and vegetables each year.
- Meat Products: About 21% of meat is wasted, totaling around 15-20 billion pounds, with significant losses at retail and consumer levels.

Back in the day, teens and pre-teens would detassel corn for local farmers. We'd make @250 for 6 weeks of work but that was a fortune in the early 70's.

Wish I would have know that in the 90's, that still would have been good money for 6 weeks of work.

that's a little over 2000,00 USD today. Not bad.
A lot of people don't care or realize that a lot of picking of crops can be automated now days. Seems weird that while a farmer is ok when having a vehicle run on GPS and drive around the farm automatically, they aren't comfortable with a robot working 24/7 pulling crops. Seems like the picker unions have too much say in how farming is done, and not enough control left to the farmers.
