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.

[–] selfAwareCoder@programming.dev 5 points 3 weeks ago

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

The leopards were supposed to eat everybody else's face only.

I wanted a new piercing but now I have a hole in my body with a piece of metal in it and am out $100. How could this go so wrong‽

Ah yes, making America Great Again. By bringing us back to a time period in which everyone in the household worked on the farm. Kids didn't go to school during planting and harvesting. Ditto for milking season. Better pump out six kids so you can have farm hands!

Now they can find a cliff and jump! That would solve the country’s issue with stupidity and solve many national security concerns.
