ag workers also aren't "farmers." "farmers" are often landlords, or they're debt slaves to banks and agricorps.

oh yeah, this is absolutely a problem with reading this kind of data. The kind of farm my mom grew up on in the 50s is dead, but its ghost is remarkably persistent in the minds of people who've never done a shift picking strawberries. "Farmer" doesn't map for poo poo onto the labor market of day laborers and mega corps.

there are still "small farmers" who sell poo poo to local farm markets, but its becoming increasingly more common that they farm as a part-time job on top of a full-time job. also there's less and less of them every year as the agricorps buy up more and more land. they're leftovers from a time that no longer really exists

I don't know how to interpret that tweet in any way that isn't overt racism

he’s talking about the city versus the rest of the state poo poo that always happens and it’s a dumb point to try to make. Austin is in there because it’s the liberal city but everyone around it blah blah blah. And it’s made even dumber by the fact that he’s calling out house members for this. like the position that’s elected to represent a specific area of a state and not a winner take all situation for the entire state.

maybe it’s easier to spot for me because I live in the south in a big city and hear that poo poo all the time, even though we’re a hard red state.

so like I said dumb on multiple levels, and based on his history it’s certainly just about the racism, hence the edit in my original post.

I guess to point out the point of my original edit, it has less to do with Austin specifically and more that the rep from Austin is the only white guy in there

Four hour workdays are insane not because 9–5 M–F is the One True Schedule but because two four‐hour days should be combined into one eight‐hour workday and one day off.

Yeah but when you think about it, the area between the curve and the Soviet height is a finite quantity, whereas glorious capitalist Russia has an infinite future ahead of it.
