    I think it’s funny that no matter how bad the work shortages will get, it’s never going to get to the point where conservatives actually acknowledge the root problem.

    There are plenty of young men and women who would love to do hard work outside for decent pay, it’s just that corporations like CHS depend on illegally cheap labor and inhumane conditions to make billions of dollars in revenue every year.

    There’s plenty of money in agriculture, just as there have always been. The scare of increasing food pricing is just a threat to preserve their profit model. Meanwhile we’re still paying landowners 30 billion dollars a year not to work their land to maintain profitable prices on food.
