would it involve paying your workers, because farmers apparently have some strong beliefs there

It would involve a central corp of well-compensated laborers hired by and administrated by the federal government, who work at military pay grades and earn military benefits after X years of this. This program will be subsidized by the farmers who will pay a varying rate to the laborer corp depending on the job being done. You will be able to phone up and order 500 farmhands and they would arrive in big gov trucks and work for you like now except it wouldn't involve oppressive destruction of the poor

To fund this entire thing for 10 years I'd cancel payment for a single F35

This sort of thing has been a standard reg for awhile on public campuses at least

Usually if a controversial speaker gets canceled it's because the school's security deposit became too much for the group sponsoring them to pay, which is the usual way of telling people to gently caress

thanks for the context... who sets the security deposit and who is it paid to exactly? an insurance company?

For reference the one area where I feel like there's no such thing as too much wasteful or excessive spending is food production, because having enough food for us and to trade with is cool and good and it's better than going to bombs

I'd handle these things a lot differently let me tell you

Actually it drives up the price worldwidwle agricultural economies crumble and then everybody dies. Then we buy all the land or china does.

The ultimate irony will be when the only state with any food production is California because we are less insane about immigrants than other states and actually have an agricultural work force. You eat those almonds you sacks of poo poo. Eat them and love them.

I find it incredibly unlikely farmers would be able to obtain labor in time at reasonable wages. I just don't see Americans doing that type of grueling labor for even McDonalds wages.

Lol I'd mentioned something like this for decrepit old crackers whose spines were wrecked from sitting on their asses and making GBS threads up newspaper comment sections all day, you'd basically pay them to live in base housing and count airframes and munitions daily. That's it, just count these planes and these weapons once in the morning and once in the evening, and if you want overtime, check to make sure some of this other paperwork is stapled and stacked.

Since this was in the rural poverty thread it was like "why are you trying to displace these noble savages and gentle giants" like they're endangered birds or some bullshit.

Houston, we're Havana problem.
At my undergrad school, some pro life people put up a bunch of huge photos of aborted fetuses in outdoor common areas, so some folks from the women's center put together an art exhibition of photos of women's vulvas and quotes from them about body image issues and surviving rape to put up in the same outdoor areas the next month. The president, who was very vocal about his Christianity despite being the president of a public university, tried to block the art exhibit and they had to talk to lawyers before the president was like "lol, yeah first amendment applies to both sides duh!"

i have vague memories of driving through upstate new york and vermont with my parents. there'd be like single houses on the side, and schools in the middle of nowhere, and my mom would always tell us dont get hurt, the next hospital is 50 miles away. i asked how people survived out here and they said well, they have cars and drive every where.

the south can be like that too but a lot less people have cars.

Maybe because those aren't even close to being reasonable wages?
