  • OK, so, I live in farm country and there’s some problems with what your saying. 1. It’s actually good pay. In fact some farmers have tried raising the pay to attract more workers, it rarely works. Farms are in the middle of nowhere. There’s no city. MAYBE there’s a post office and a store that sells exclusively Croation gass station fare. MAYBE. It’s temporary work. You get a few months pay. So. Remote, physically demanding, and temporary. That’s what makes it a ‘‘no thanks’’ job for every American. We live hand to mouth, we live in a stack of cards that requires constant payments. That’s not a problem in Latin America for the most part, they live hand to mouth but they can save up money, they are maxed out on payments and debt, they just throw extra money in a jar and only live of what they really really need. So working a few months in the US, then Canada, then Mexico, it’s OK. That’s why they’re called seasonal farm workers. When you close to boarders you trap them out of their job and create insane problems. I don’t know why Americans can’t figure out how the food gets to the Walmart, but they have been failing up grasp this for a long ass time.











  • Well, yeah, he and the guy from Live (the music band) both had cameos in Fight Club. also Meatloaf. also Brad Pitt is college pals with Sheryl Crow. I’m sure I could notice more, but I’m not interested in deep diving shit that reminds me of pretty mediocre times from High School, and largely falls flat as my adult life faced FAR more bullshit than disaffected 20 year old’s in the 90’s could have ever dared dream, my 20’s was defined by terror attacks, mass war, economic meltdown and the slow burn of manufactured consent pulling us all the way into fascism.

    This looks like a management photo op death trap to me. I’m not worried about a scissor jack being used on a flat floating surface in a pool, it’s that it isn’t secured to anything at all that really seems non OSHA compliant here. I just have really strong personal ethics about not eating shit 12+ feet off the ground in an hourly position. now IF the floatation device is rated for this use, and it’s actually secured in place, sure, fine, but that’s not what’s happening.






  • Olympics testing sex means they will be testing women, and never men, it means they’ll come up with a test that requires different representatives of different competing nations to agree a woman doesn’t technically qualify as a woman despite her fully functioning uterus, and again they’ll be invasive and humiliating and poor countries will have twice or more disqualified athletes, they will go after women of color twice as hard, and the more extreme countries they send these women back to live in will treat these women horrifyingly bad.
