Anybody here from Ventura County, CA? [View all]

I’m 15 minutes from Camarillo. All the strawberry, cabbage, lettuce, etc. fields are ghost towns. The workers are scared to death. All our crops are going to turn to shit with no one to pick them, or the cost will be so high that none but the wealthy will be able to afford them. Trump is systematically trying to destroy the California economy.

Hey, asshole Republicans, if California falls, so will the rest of the country.

You sure about that? Beaverhausen Jun 2025 #9
