If you've ever thought "It's such a bummer that farm jobs suck so bad, no American would ever wanna do them,"
NONE OF THAT IS TRUE.
Here's what building a proper damn farm sector with real jobs & upward mobility would look like. (Extremely abridged bc 8 minutes.)
Also, it's really weird how this conversation in the US always revolves around "Making farm jobs good enough for Americans."
Farm jobs should be good jobs no matter who's doing them.
Even a lot of self-described progressives seem to have a hard time getting that!
knock it off it's weird
@dacig I love Mastodon, you can't get pedantry like this anywhere else
You can spend a week making a well-researched video debunking capitalistic excuses for why a Latino-dominated job "has" to be horrible & how to do better
you can even push back on the widespread framing of why estadounidenses think these jobs should be made humane in the first place, "so we can get rid of Latinos in this workforce"
and the response you get is…this (:
thank you for your careful attention (:
@dacig I was once told that I wasn't a "real American" because my ancestors weren't from America (they are from China). I then pointed out that she wasn't a real American either because her ancestors were from Europe. She quickly changed the subject and refused to ever talk about it again. :p
The struggle is real.
