37. Fascistic JUST a bit? Expect it'd become a patriotic duty to work shelling crabs

Mon Nov 8, 2021, 05:34 PM

Nov 2021

seasonally as needed if they had their way. Not theirs of course.

When the tRump admin didn't issue the usual visas to bring in seasonal seafood workers, seafood crisis! We had fairly high unemployment at the time, and it seems likely Chao types thought laid off claims processors, IT techs, etc, would fill them.

Not without being schooled on their patriotic duty.
