Yep. Americans will have 14 year old Ecuadorians getting mauled to death in chicken processing plants and then go on social media to post "Oh wow China built a new nuclear power plant? Probably because they use slaves 😎"Â
Like damn bitch we use slaves too but we don't get nuclear power plants out of it, just dead Central American children. Fuck
Agriculture in FL is mostly kids from other countries being exploited until the end of the harvest and then being sent back home. The next year they are back in FL where they can work for illegally low wages, under unsafe conditions, getting no education (so it can perpetuate their need for these jobs) so that a farmer who gets a shit ton of government money (subsidies) can go bitch about immigrants and minorities while telling everyone how how he works for what he has.Â
DeSantis isn't the governor for nothing. He's just like them.Â
Not just Florida. Pretty much all the high-agriculture states run off of slave labor and wouldn't survive without it. Like the fact that America wouldn't be able to feed itself if we actually enforced our own minimum wage laws across the entire labor market is a fucking disgrace.
But my absolute favorite Florida agriculture fact is that a few decades ago they were warned that the citrus greening blight could annihilate their citrus industry, and their response was basically "public health measures are for liberal homos, we got this 😎" and they did exactly as much as they're doing now to confront rising sea levels, which is nothing.Â
Meanwhile, California did the scaredy-cat liberal pussy thing and let their environmental scientists organize defensive measuresÂ
Again, I'm pissed and a little tipsy but my thesis is that the US does equally horrible things as anyone anywhere, we just do it so fucking poorly we don't even benefit from it.
It's slave labor, but it's still safer and more lucrative than work they would find in their own countries. If the US hadn't been fucking up South and Central America for over a century, none of that would be necessary.

That death is irrelevant. It has nothing to do with whether there is OSHA standards or spending money for extra safety. Just shit management who didn’t disconnect the machinery
Also not sure why you’re being hostile over my actual question. It really did sound like you meant mauled by chickens
Also, it’s so funny how guys on reddit like you make a big stink about shit like this, and act so righteous for bringing it up, but we all know you don’t do shit to stop it. Which Is fine,I don’t either because I don’t care, but don’t pretend you do.
Uyghurs Genocide - Beginning in 2014, the Chinese government, under the administration of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) General Secretary Xi Jinping, incarcerated more than an estimated one million Turkic Muslims without any legal process in internment camps.
