Watching Chris Hayes

[malaise]

Just wait for the prices of fruits and vegetables to multiply in a few weeks as workers have fled the fields.
This is effin madness,

[elleng]

1. SERIOUS madness!!!!

[tulipsandroses]

4. Hope those " Alpha strong back males" are ready to replace those workers

It ain't gonna be our black jobs. Nope.

[malaise]

6. Look out for the private prison.chain gangs

These are monsters

[elleng]

10. No cabbage, broccoli, anything good.

[IcyPeas]

2. And meat packing industry too...

[malaise]

5. Yep

Madness

[malaise]

3. Russell Honore coming up now

[Skittles]

[malaise]

8. That was wonderful

Thanks - I needed that

[Skittles]

12. I will never forget watching Katrina in real time on a HUGE screen

was working all night in a room that looked like NASA

I specifically remember thinking, "Dubya says he can bring peace to the Middle East but he can't get a little girl off a bridge in New Orleans."

[malaise]

14. Same here

Watched it with DUers as well as family.

[Skittles]

15. then the people fleeing Katrina and coming to Texas were called REFUGEES

as if they were from another country....WTF!! They are our NEIGHBORS!!!

[malaise]

16. I remembered when they separated families

and sent the men to different locations

[North Shore Chicago]

24. But...Babs Bush

said:


She stated, "And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them."

[malaise]

25. I will never forget her comment

An entitled insensitive moron

[Xavier Breath]

17. I have a buddy and to this day when one of us screws up, the other will say "You're doin' a heck of a job, Brownie."

[senseandsensibility]

9. Segment with Jacob S. in the fields

looks so familiar to me. You see miles of this traveling up and down CA and we are the 4th biggest economy in the world. Yet there is no one out there right now (still broad daylight) picking. They have scared the farmworkers off and food doesn't pick itself!

[malaise]

11. He will destroy everything for power

This is madness

[multigraincracker]

13. Just remember how good things were with Biden.

Then along came TACO.

[SunSeeker]

18. What fruits and veggies? If there's no strawberry pickers, there's no strawberries!

And you can thank Trump's ICE for that!

[malaise]

19. Yep

Rec

[Cheezoholic]

20. I heard there was a Blackhawk Helicopter flying over slowly fermenting strawberry fields empty of pickers

Like some dystopian predatory animal waiting to swoop down and grab people

[bagimin]

21. I don't get it.

Isn't this political suicide?

[malaise]

23. For the ReTHUG party

but the lunatic knows he’s a lame fuck.

[seta1950]

22. Yup

40% of fruits and vegetables are grown in California, for the whole country, very simple math.

[marble falls]

26. We're buying and preserving. Canning and drying.
