So gleefully and proudly evil, like a nazi.
So gleefully and proudly evil, like a nazi.
What r these people smoking? I want some, so I can go to lalaland! 🙄
Does she not understand that moving towards automation means no jobs for all these imaginary lazy people laying around doing nothing?
So he’s delusional is what she’s saying
Has anyone mentioned construction labor?
Ahhh. The old “able bodied” thing. This is like the Nazis when they started othering sick and disabled folk, saying they were a burden on society. It let to forced euthanasia aka murder.
How does automation help bring Americans more work? I thought it would eliminate the need for people if you automate. Right? What am I missing here? youtu.be/XT0wpT_62OM
--- Serious answer --- The "able-bodied adult" (class) will replace the "immigrant workforce" (class), automation will force the "currently working" ("middle" class) into the "able-bodied" (class), which will then feed into replacing the "immigrant workforce" (class). Techno-Fascism.
Yes, we will have microbiologist PhDs picking crops. Where else are they going to work? No labs. No new drugs. No approvals. No investment. No need for science. No need for disease surveillance. Virologists, epidemiologists, lab techs, technical quality reviewers, chemists,bio chemists,biophysicists
Now explain to me how new Ag automation a farmer can buy today can be affordable and effective and replace a multi generational workforce that have mastered harvesting and planting?
What if the automation is for a different industry like fast food, and then the people whose jobs were eliminated are forced by new job type requirements from Medicaid to work on farms?
your brain isn't basically pudding and syphilis
Meanwhile the fruit and veg is rotting on the fields - congrats - we are soooo great yet.
jesus trinket wearing fascist, try a mirror lady do you c yourself
Wasn’t the cultural revolution in China about moving cultural elites to farms? Can’t wait to see Fox employees toiling in the fields, taking those labor positions.
trumps new labor secretary
This is a joke.
So we need more cotton pickers? 🙄 Good grief.
I guess that tiny screws venture didn't work out.....
they have no fucking clue what they are talking about. automation in the agriculture business is already highly utilized. if they got people doing something, its because they cant design a machine to do it. this aint china
Exactly!!
China has become more technologically advanced than the US.
Long ago.
The whole world has, other than the war machine, USA is behind everything.
And the whole war industry is changing too. Drones are making a lot of heavy machinery and troops less and less necessary. But for many wars seem to be less necessary. Let the wealthy fight for their own territory. And finance it themselves.
And who exactly lives on "their territory?"
According to old colonization rules, any property that has resources that they want. Wars have always been fought for corporate interests. youtu.be/35Ax-psPZ1g?...
But using religion or race to justify them.
But isn't the truly important ability less in developing your own advanced technology in industry, than destroying that of everyone else when you get in a snit?
USA looks for snits, if they can’t create one somewhere in the world, they will create one domestically. Being a big bully with big guns will only take you so far.
On the contrary, they know *exactly* what they're talking about and and doing. They are posing as politicians that are not serious and lie. There will be a large gap to fill in the agriculture when 100,000 (brown) people are consistently detained and 1 million / year are deported. Regime goals.
"a lot of able bodied adults that aren't working" is a perfect description of Congress. They've decided to make themselves obsolete by forfeiting their power to Demented Diaper Donny. Let's see them put in a good hard days work for once.
Trump’s vision for farm labor?? Has he ever, ever been on a farm? He knows less than nothing on farming. They probably have to hold up pictures with Cow, pig, chicken written underneath for him to see. This is a peach, this is an apple, this is corn.
It does not include amnesty because it is instead dependent on slavery
Yes, exactly!
Let me get this straight . You want me to go into a random wet dirty and hotter than hell field and spend 12 hrs bent over picking cabbage? Ha ha ha ha asshole!
"Every Black kid is now just standard put on Adderall, SSRIs, benzos, which are known to induce violence,” Kennedy said on the 19Keys show last year. “And those kids are going to have a chance to go somewhere and get re-parented — to live in a community where there’ll be no cellphones, no screens."
So apparently the new model of American agriculture is now the Khmer Rouge. Didn't see that coming.
Do they really think no one is working? I don’t understand unemployment at 4% or something. Why do they think no one works?
Good fucking luck with that.
she should take that cross off from around her neck. i’m surprised it’s not on fire
Christianity is a religion based on a guy who made everything and everyone flawed. Then his best solution was to rape a random woman who becomes the mother of a copy of himself. Then we do substitutional atonement and human sacrifice to fix "everything", which also doesn't do shit. Evil religion
🤣 Correction: Assuming the truth of the stories, as you have, the immaculate conception that produced Mary could have involved rape, the virgin birth of Christ involved no sexual act and thus couldn't be rape. Other than that, your characterization seems pretty fair.
Perhaps a magical impregnation without sexual contact, but also without consent, could fit within a broad definition of the crime of ordinary (non-sexual) battery?
You can not make someone work. Listen to the term able bodied. If they are well and young they won't try to get insurance.
forced labor?
Ironically... most of the "able-bodied adults int this country" that are currently not working but receiving tax funded healthcare can be found.... **wait for it** ... in the Trump Administration and the US Congress.
To be fair, they are definitely working to destroy America. Taking down an entire country isn't easy but republicans are all on the same page doing it.😐
He can’t tout record low unemployment and an abundance of able-bodied workers both. It doesn’t work that way.
It’s not “Trumps” vision, it’s those creepy dystopian fucks at the heritage fund and project 2025 along with the tech titans
Brooke, are the able-bodied adults on Medicaid in the room with you now?
Raise your hand if you feel like picking strawberries for a living! The pay is shite, the hours are long, you get no benefits, you’ll destroy your body, and die young and poor. Great idea, Trump, you dummy.
Why do you need workers if you are moving toward automation?
And the able-bodied Medicaid workers at oh say WalMart and other companies that do not provide a living wage or healthcare? Do they switch to ag jobs?
They are so excited about finally returning to slavery.
This year’sharvest going to be a full blown disaster. One of his minions said they could just have Medicaid recipients replace the farm workers.
A “workforce based on automation” is gibberish word salad. That’s machines, not able-bodied adults.
Who listening to this does not realize that further automation means a smaller workforce resulting in higher unemployment. AI and robots increase profits for the owners. Could be why they want to get rid of all the people 🤔
So the GOP in Congress will be the first to hit the fields right: the "able-bodies adults who are not working" = GOP.
So you're talking about the ceos?
Took like 4 hours for him to completely contradict this.
So she is pushing "automation" & "able-bodied adults" to work the farms. How does that compute?
🙄
He doesn’t even hire American workers for his own business: www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...
Does it not strike her that automating things will further put a lot of able-bodied people out of work?
Mao and Stalin must be so proud right now
A labor force and automation 🤔🤔, Why would you need well able bodied adults, when a machine can do it🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Um. There's a reason we needed migrant workers in the first place. 🤔
Trump just going to wiggle his nose and create the automated technology to replace field workers?
Maybe they'll set up work camps for the farm workers. 😐
Slavery
And looks like Trump made her get a “MAGA makeover”. These people have no self-respect.
I seriously wonder if this is a condition of employment for these harpies.
I think it is.
Who are these able bodied adults who are not working? Retirees? Everyone I know who doesn’t work is either retired or a housewife.
He had to give farmers billions in bailouts in his first term because of his insane trade war.
All-white staff. Like Mar-a-Lago.
B.S.
You can’t “AI” and “Automate” everything. The government is about to tell people what job they can and cannot do.
These people are demented. MAGA is over there having hat bonfires and she's trying to put nursing home residents in the fields.
If it could be automated it already would have been by the 80s. You can do automation on fruit and veggies that damage easily. They have to be hand picked and I've picked tomatoes for a summer as a kid and you will not see so-called able bodied citizens working in the fields.
And if you do you better provide free healthcare especially for their backs, hips and knees.
In 1964, the Govt ended a post-war program that brought Mexican men to the US to work on farms. Govt thought high school boys could replace the migrants and started a program called the A-Team. Can you guess what happened? Read the story to see why Trump’s plan is doomed www.npr.org/sections/the...
What a hard hitting interview Maria just gave!
Able-bodied like people with Schizophrenia and Bipolar I?
Blah blah BS
I get it - starve the libs
Get your ass out there Brooke!!
Sure (Wink wink)
I’m not a farmer but can harvesting really be automated much further than it is? And if I see “able- bodied” one more time I’m gonna lose it
Dear Grandma: Trump took your Medicaid, so it's time for you to work the fields www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
Is she writing a fictional romance novel or telling the “news”? First, Taco doesn’t have a heart. Second, he only cares about money, himself, and his reality-tv image, then himself again.
Her wig sucks.
He also at one point said the farm owners would get a chance to "vouch" for their workers...pathway to modern day slavery for the poor and the immigrants
Are those able-bodied Medicaid recipients in the room with you now Brooke?
These fuckers don’t work they should go first
I guess they’re going to access patients medical records to seek information about their health conditions. Forget about your HIPPA privacy rights. It’s the government’s abuse of power gone wrong.
They already have all that info! Nothing is off limits
Do they plan to relocate New Yorkers to Florida to pick fruit ?
The implication here is that unemployment is a major economic issue that the govt must contend with, it currently sits at 4.1%. They’re feeding a false narrative and preying on fears.
Define a lot. Share how many people you claim are available. The vagarities of this dumb woman's thoughts are vast enough to fill the swamp she crawled from.
So when she leaves the administration she’s going to pick potatoes?
😂😅😆🤣
Not a smart or even realistic vision that she conveys🤷🏻♂️
So mindless factory job making widgets so corporate oligarchs make billions on your sweat equity?
Automation?
So...America, you lazy bastards?
Their spin is all over the place. Unserious people.
Maga is mostly lower and middle class, wait till they figure it out 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
It's really striking how confident he is that the adults not working are able bodied. I think rather unfortunately what Trump is going to find is what disability activists have been saying the whole time, that we basically have what we had in the aftermath of Polio, the full scope of Long COVID.
Nobody comes down from on high to certify you disabled automagically. It's multiple rounds of doctors, and if you are too sick to see a doctor...
she is nuts
That would include you trump! Have you ever worked or just Grifted?
When can she start, it doesn't look like she is doing much right now, and she apparently knows how to spread fertilizer.
Indentured workers, rented not owned, but slaves all the same. While we’re at it, how about a debtors colony in, say, Georgia, Oklahoma or Arkansas? Can’t make your minimum? Off with you! “Work will set you free!” and reduce taxes for the white party. They party; you work.
bsky.app/profile/theb...
So, forced slave labor, of all the able bodied people loosing jobs in the economy he is wrecking? Gilead.. here we come. They will use our data to profile us and assign our workload.
Does this include people with bone spurs?
Not rich people with bone spurs.
Feels like we are heading towards "I'm sure we can make chain gangs of unconstitutionally incarcerated people pick crops"
Good luck with that.
bsky.app/profile/snik...
@ufw.bsky.social
I am so fucking sick of these people…
I have this awful feeling that the people ICE is taking are being forced into working on farms and working for ICE. They’re taking foster kids and no one knows where…
So… slavery?
How long until trump suggests using the the immigrants they have locked up for forced labor?
They are supposed to move ? From Missouri to Florida ? Wouldn’t they then be …. Migrant workers ?
Spoken like a person who's never seen a day of manual labor in their life. As a small market farmer, I can attest that white people have never done this kind of labor. Watch any video of immigrants harvesting food and ask yourself, are you ready for that back breaking labor?
What if able-bodied adults aren't working because of a move toward automation? If we're being replaced by machines, it isn't about workers at all. It's about maximizing profit while cutting labor costs.
I don't think maga won't be out there busting their asses picking vegetables for shitty pay. Farmers would have to raise prices on all their crops and lose money.
Forced labor?
That's the only way fruit & veg harvested by native-born farm workers could compete with imports, even with a 100% tariff on imports. Same deal with slaughter houses employing only US-born staff.
So automation or putting people to work?
Slaves. That’s the word you’re looking for, slaves.
This is what "taking back our country" and "great" looks like, in the eyes of MAGA and the regime. They have not been quiet about it either.
Yep
How about the able bodied who plays golf to the tune of taxpayers $$$$
Retirees, college students, and people caring for dependent family members make up most of the able bodied unemployed in this country.
If they believe for one second that folks on Medicare impacted by this bill will somehow go out to the fields in an effort to fill the financial gap brought on by this bill, they're f***ing dumber than I thought. What they are going to see is a high volume of 211 calls across the country.
I wonder how exactly they decide who is "able bodied" as opposed to simply incapable.
Based on the history of slavery in this nation, my guess is that you whip people until they prove themselves able to do the work by doing it or prove themselves disabled by dying. It's a bit like testing to see if someone's a witch by throwing them in water to see if they drown. If not, burn them.
This is the Plan— whether it is logical or possible—we need to accept the darkness and the demise of our democracy. So do we stop it? Or talk about it and watch with “great concern?”
Maybe she should put some gloves on.
Let grandma be a slave. Oh how droll.
Would love to see Brooke and Trump humped over picking strawberries in the heat.
They wouldn't last 5 minutes
Yeah, but the 4 minutes of watching them suffer from doing actual work would totally be worth it.
That stupid man hasn’t seen his toes in decades. Not about to start now.
Every day she changes the “vision” for the country
Avoiding the indentured servitude 2.0 argument, he would have had to have seen a lot more significant automation that I have to make this anything more than a money pit.
if there were 34 million able-bodied adults not working, it would show in the unemployment rate. the adults who are not working and are receiving Medicaid ARE NOT ABLE-BODIED
American workforce 🍺
Setting up Slavery: the sequel.
More camps????
Stephen Miller talking points. #EmptySuit
He wants Medicaid men to pick produce. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂get fat trump out there to pick produce. He needs some exercise.
MAGA picking fruit and vegetables 😂😂😂😂😂
At least they won’t have to reinvent the wheel. Grabbing able-bodied people to work on plantations is as American as it gets.
Those 'able-bodied workers' will all suddenly develop bone spurs
So his vision is as stupid as he is? I mean, not surprising I suppose.
automation = not jobs
Like himself? Oh able…
Can I just say that there were able bodied non-whites willing to do this work. GOOD LUCK getting entitled Caucasians to do this… As I’ve said before, have fun paying high priced produce this Fall.
They're not going to need luck. They're planning on forcing people to do this, I suspect.
This is beginning to sound very Mao Zedong.
So, a robot-and-slave based economy, of course.
The authoritarian regime takeover continues to move towards completion. With the assistance from republicans & courts. If this is what MAGA voted for, they got it. Congrats 🎈🍾
How does she not know that if they could’ve used machines and automated this work, they’d have done so already?
It sounds like the admin wants to do a mass shift in where low income people are employed. The automation part is in low wage areas like fast food. Then they are going to make specific “types of work” requirements for Medicaid. So if you were in a job that was eliminated, then you have to work in Ag
They really love this word “able-bodied” because they love to project a vision of strength on their side and weakness on the other. But it’s also a weak side that steals all the jobs while being lazy.
MAGA seems to really enjoy being called able-bodied people that aren’t working by this administration. Weird kink if you ask me, but that’s none of my business.
Psychobabble.
Will this administration force employers to hire people they normally would not because of prior convictions, health issues, or not being qualified for the job? 🤷♂️
My guess is when no one takes the jobs they will use immigrant prisoners as well as prison labor, aka slavery.
They’re going to start “loaning out” immigrants in concentration camps for labor. Mark my words.
One minute of slapping this Ho. That’s all
The automation will be taking the place of both the people who are not getting amnesty and the able-bodied adults who aren't working. Huh. In other words, the Ministry of Creating Problems will be just as busy as the Directorate for Solving Problems. Excellent.
There aren’t that many able bodied people who aren’t working to fill all the positions
I bet we end up with soldiers and marines picking crops
Show us the names of those 35M able bodied slackers on Medicaid Brooke who will now be forced into the fields and slaughterhouses and hotel rooms to clean toilets replacing the deported brown people.
Is anyone gonna ask this administration to prove any of the shit they claim with facts, or are we just going to take their word and vibes?
Exactly 💯 I want to see the prototype of the strawberry picking robot
Listen to *what* they actually say and the *words* they use. Take their word for it, because they abuse the "politicians lie" stereotype. The regime is not being secretive. The regime is telling us *exactly* what they want to do, and they *are* doing what *they said* they would do.
If we ask ,they just ignore the question and repeat the lie I mean, if they do it sworn in before Congress, why be honest to anyone
And is all this going to be achieved before the fruit rots on the vines?
I’ve been thinking for a while that a lot of them fantasize about irl LARPing literal 1300s feudalism complete with a peasant workforce. Every day I think I’m onto something
Make America Feudal Again.
Let MAGA pick the fruit and vegetables.
MAGA is too fucking lazy and stupid
Yep
They don’t realize it but that is who they are actually talking about
That’s who ICE is coming for next—people deemed “able-bodied” who aren’t working. Trump is talking about prison labor, about making unemployment a crime. We’re talking 1927, Angola prisoners building levees then left to be swept away.
Follow up question regarding "...the President's vision..." "Exactly what is his vision of the American workforce?".
Blah blah able-bodied blah blah blah. They all say it.
"Able-bodied adults in this country who are not working" You mean like everyone in Congress?
Ideological claptrap but enough right wing rhetoric to keep the gullable befuddled.
Did your rent just double? We have great news, you can pick lettuce for $2.00 an hour!
Thus robots will be entitled to Medicaid
A 21st century Pol Pot, in other words.
You first, Brooke. Into the fields with you!
They really are pushing this dumbass talking point.
Would those able bodieds happen to be darker in skin color perhaps?
Perfect for her next job.
Trump has no vision for anything. He is fkn winging it. He is in this position to line his pockets and stay out of jail. Thats it!
“Able-bodied adults…who are not working.” Let’s start with her, and go from there.
Trump Derangement Syndrome at its finest
Right up there with RFKjr's "work farms" idea for people seeking healthcare.
Who is doing research on the automation?
Always with the "people just don't want to work anymore." Granted, some don't, but the majority of people on Medicaid are already working a job that pays so little they can't afford insurance.
So they would have to move out of their current house/apartment and move near a farm that is hiring.. do I have that part right?
Live in unairconditioned barracks.
They'll just redefine "adults" to permit child labor
There are plenty who want that! School? Nah, get those kids in chicken processing plants!
How about everyone in this ignorant administration go work in agriculture first since they think it is so easy.
insanity
The food industry is going to collapse. The GOP is a death cult.
Delusional
So, so, so much projection
Lotta able bodies adults not working in that house behind her. Start there.
Sounds like communism
A cabinet and admin of ghouls
Love that America is moving back to blue collar labour jobs instead of... you know... building in their tech sector Gonna be great when China takes over tech as well in 10 to 15 years
Sure.... The guy living in XIX century plants to do what...⁉️
Government work physicals will start after all immigrants are deported and all able bodied people will be put to work in the work camps. …. fantasy???? Hell, anything can happen in trump world.
RFK has said he wants to put us neurodivergents into "wellness camps."
As long as it doesn’t require forced labor I could use a vacation. I have a feeling that it would be a work camp . Arbeit Macht Frei kind of thing !!
His solutions are damaged fruit & the fantasy of native-born 🇺🇸ns doing field work at economically viable prices. The only way that happens is with prison/slave labor. Grain production can be almost fully automated. Without migrant labor, US fruit & veg production ends & we import them. Meat too.
Well there’s also those pesky kids sitting at schools that need to be working.
