Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[Carl Pickens]

now you're being stupid....

So your point is not about the travel..... it’s where he’s going..... big damn deal

 

[Volatility]

You gonna get out there and pick lettuce when you get laid off?

If the price is right, yeah.

yes

Then you should be happier than a hog in slop with all of these worker visas being issued.

Depends on how much you are willing to pay for the goods. I live next to tomato fields and I'm not doing it for what they are willing to do it for.

Yeah, the wages they earn go so much farther in their home country vs. here. Out of curiosity, do you have a ballpark on what they’re getting paid?

Good lord, why don't you 2 go start a thread called the never ending pissing contest of stupid facts

It is a big damn deal to Trump. How much do you think he profits when he spends a week at the "Winter White House" Mar a Lago?

Don't get me wrong. I would love to see the .gov get rid of all farm subsidies, price controls and let agriculture be a completely free market. The majority of our population wouldn't but I'd be ok.

Michigan reverses course on Trump-touted coronavirus drugs

Politics aside, this provides a little ray of hope that this might be working

Haha, yea, I believe most are fooling themselves if they think they'll go out there and work side by side 10-12 hours a day 7 days a week with the immigrant workers I know.....for any amount.

How does any politician profit from their position? The gripe is legitimate, but in one form or another all politicians do this.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Hey look, I'm EL. I blame a Chinese virus bioweapon on President Trump losing jobs.

Hes probably referring to the fact that Trump has known about this virus since late December and is just now starting to take it seriously. Well, it's too late.

I have bigger things to worry about than these things that have zero effect on my life.

$10 hr. for the tomato guys.. Same guys pick Black berries and strawberries They also live in trailers around the farm.The farmer takes them to the store in a small bus. I don't know if he charges them rent or anything.

If we only had his taxes so we could see .

What did you want him to do? Keep everyone home in December?

 

[hog88]

For me it would take being on the edge of starvation or $100 plus an hour to ever get me back in a tobacco field.

I think this discussion started about Trump giving up his salary. I'm just not so willing to use that as a reason Trump is somehow superior to any president who didn't. Ole Donnie already saw the fat stacks during the transition when the money was rolling in to Trump Tower.

Did you need another grown man to tell you when to start hunkering down?

The minute one person stepped into the country with the virus it was too late.

I still have nightmares about a bad experience about bailing hay when I was 12..... worked from sunrise to 8 and the farmer paid me 12 dollars.

I would rather trim lawns with scissors.

So I have to ask because I keep seeing your avitar, is that Tiger King show stupid or is it stupid funny?

I’ve seen what they do in California for the big Ag. companies , not gonna lie .. it would kill me to do that now .

 

[Purple Tiger]

Is that is shabby rococo?
