Machia voted for Trump, drawn by promises of border control and national security. “We didn’t want drugs or gangbangers,” he said. But what he didn’t expect was losing some of his most dedicated employees to immigration arrests.
“It’s scaring the farming community,” Machia admitted. “We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”
LOL. Idiots
This is the kind of thing that made me realise how much a urban being I am.
The way, I’m imagining a farmer, at least the one with milk farm is a guy waking before the sun because he must milk the cows at 4 a.m.
Which is odd because I thought it was all done by machine these days. Even on the boutique milk farms.
Not a dairy farmer, used to live by some and when I’ve seen them using machines it’s still labor intensive, they guide the cows in, clean the machines, attach the machine, make sure the cows move out once done etc, so still requires them up and working. The machine just means they aren’t physicality doing the milking part
I guess someone need to plug the machine to each cow and give each there turn.
yeah but before it was those dirty mexicans waking up at 4 am to work, not Real Americans©! This is bullshit!
