“Wants to pick apples.” Come the fuck on. I agree with the point that billionaires are the true threat, but treating migrant labor like it’s fulfilling their life dreams is racist and gross. They undoubtedly want many things, but they’re desperate and they’re being exploited. Let’s not insult them further by pretending they want to be treated that way.
Sure it is. They could’ve said “wants to make a living” or “is willing to do hard labor”, but they didn’t. They framed it as just “picking apples”, and that it’s what the migrant “wants” to do while focusing on the problems that affect them. It might not be what they meant, but it’s absolutely what they said.
Don’t migrant workers get work visas for picking fruit?
Fuckingcapitalists
If those migrants are in your field then I’d say they both probably do. And depending if the worker pays taxes and whatnot… It’s not the same level of harm but it’s not no harm either
But, what about the Bentleys? They need someone to buy them. Also, what about the private islands? Who is going to price out the indigenous people? Did you think about that? What about the private planes to visit their friend Jeffy? He’ll get lonely.
