labor shortage

There is no such thing as a labor shortage. Just a shortage in what the owners are willing to pay for the labor and its relationship with the end profit goals.

Can’t pay more and still profit “enough” or at all? Seems like your business failed. Welcome to the “market” you pretend to know so much about.

What’s that saying?

“With investment comes risk.”

before I feel sorry for these business owners, I'm going to need to know who they voted for...

The few workers who did show up said many had heard through social media that ICE set up checkpoints on the Washington-Oregon border and that agents were raiding orchards.

They've arrested American citizens and government officials.

Gestapo ICE did this.

these greedy fucks are bitching about having to pay just $20/hr, when that's not even half of what's needed to support a family

the farmers' addiction to cheap Mexican labor needs to be broken

let them itch

Apparently, there are less deportations than his first term it’s simply being done more dramatically. In addition, they’re engaging no due process and picking people up AT WORK.

Of course no one wants to pick cherries. There’s probably an ICE van or three parked out by the orchards, waiting, to feed the public misinformation campaign after picking up people with a ok to be here, trying to engage honest labor.

Have they tried hiring el Salvador prison slaves ?
