Missing a slam-dunk headline
(lemmy.world)
(FYI - the article that the guy is replying to is misinformation. Two commenters have provided snopes links for anyone curious.)
The implication is they're farm labor camps, so less living with nature and more picking cotton in the sun all day.
Yes but slaves who pick cotton learn valuable, marketable skills!
(big fuckin /s just in case)
Like the prison slaves who fight fires in California but are denied firefighting jobs once they are released?
I saw your sarcasm tag but I just couldn't help myself.
Jesus Christ, I had just repressed that memory
Less picking cotton all day and more fruits and grapes. Or other crops that are still tended by hand, generally by undocumented immigrants.
This is to replace Migrant workers when they kick the Mexicans out.
