That was literally what he said

no i mean the legal wage for farm workers is already below the minimum, they already have legal access to below minimum wage labor, illegal immigrants are just better below minimum wage labor

So the farms are going to suddenly start paying those workers a legal wage, and not fire them and immediately seek out another source of below-minimum wage labour?

The average wage of a California farm worker is $15 an hour and half the population is undocumented. The number being paid under minimum wage is likely small, but those workers obviously should be paid more and there are plenty of issues beyond wages where they'd benefit from legal status.

America is more than California. You can't just say that one blue state is fine, therefore problem solved.

Exploration is ill-advised.
You'd think for all the subsidies that goes into keeping farms solvent (because, to be fair, farming is backbreaking, unforgiving, luck-based work) they could include some wage subsidies so workers can actually get paid something reasonable for their backbreaking labour, and adhere to modern labour laws in the process.

(Still reminded of the Archer joke about how a farmer with a barn full of weed considers it more ethical choice than taking advantage of corn subsidies, and everyone agrees)

It's also more ethical because the industrial farming of corn using chemical fertilizer will desertify the mid-west and hollow out the bread basket.

I realize this thread isn't great, but seriously? Quoting averages instead of medians? Totally unsourced claims about averages? Pretending you can just brush off a concern by talking about solely California, even assuming everything you say is true and relevant? Complete speculation that a totally different stat is "likely small"? What value can you possibly think this is adding?

also, since when is repeating a claim lying? oh yeah. we're talking about yronic heroism, bad faith poster extraordinaire.

so where's your source for your claim the IWW said none of theirs were injured after they knew her name? cause the IWW GDC press release came before people knew her name, like other people had told you before...

yronic heroism posted:

For the record, the IWW general defense committee released a statement that they knew of no seriously injured or dead members, and this was released about 4pm today, well after her name was released. But by all means keep spreading misinformation, it makes this miserable thread so much better.

where's the source for this yronic? the IWW GDC released no press release to this effect as far as i can tell. which, you know, would be an actual lie on your part.

IWW GDC august 12 posted:

In Charlottesville, VA today, a coalition of fascist groups held a “Unite The Right” rally, where they committed another murder. A fascist drove his car at full speed into other cars, creating a multi-vehicle weapon aimed at anti-racist protesters. Tonight, a 32 year old woman whose identity we do not yet know is dead, and many more are wounded.

IWW GDC august 13 posted:

The steering committee of the General Defense Committee voted to approve and release this brief statement last night after the fascist murder of a 32-year old woman in Charlottesville, VA, at the Unite The Right rally of fascist organizations. We now know her name, Heather Heyer, and the name of her murderer, who was apparently a member of the American Vanguard fascist group, and was photographed at the rally holding American Vanguard shields with explicitly fascist imagery on them.

neither of these say anything like you claimed. so why did you rush into the thread and lie? and project all over me? you really are a centrist :ughh:

it's incredibly disingenuous to claim i'm a liar from that, but that's just par for the course for you isn't it

sorry, i thought i was responding to yronic. and no i didn't lie, dunno why you would claim i did based off information i didn't have at the time, and considering i had good reason to believe that she was an IWW member

the worst you can claim is that i was wrong, which i don't mind admitting. she still wasn't a centrist though
