Ding ding ding, the village idiot has declared herself.
And will be promoted! The only metric was loyalty, not technical competence.
They are all village idiots. So are their voters and they love them for it.
Mocked? Only mocked?
This is one of the most abhorrent statements ever made by a politician that wasn’t in a slavery or open racism era.
They are testing the waters for this and worse. This needs to be spotlighted, shamed, and crushed.
I mean, I guess they could have slammed her. But you have to work your way up to a slam. If slamming is your opening move, where do you go from there?
Hah true. I guess I just want to see “Trump Agriculture Chief talking point compared to nazi ideology because it is”
…teabagging, of course…
Working the disabled to death in fields is a bold strategy.
Let’s see if it plays out!
…it will play out that they will work the disbaled to death in fields while a third of US population cheers and we all know it.
“Aaawww! You need medical help? You want to see a doctor? You need medication? OFF TO THE FIELDS WITH YOU!”
I really want a manual labor job. I can stay in shape and listen to audiobooks all day long. I would happily dig ditches, mop floors, or do farm work.
I can’t afford to have most of those jobs. They don’t pay enough for me to afford to live.
The jobs that do require training and I can’t afford to stop working and learn.
Idk why Conservatives are so happy to force people into jobs that make them worse off than they already are.
Because they want to oppress people.
They want the return to serfdom in a modern way, tied to a shit job or corporation
Fascists always have bad ideas.
Because smart people aren’t fascists.
Fascists always have bad ideas.
They aren’t bad ideas to fascists. You just have to understand that fascists consider you tools, not as people. All their ideas will be based on that.
They aren’t bad ideas to fascists.
IDGAF about their brain-damaged moral relativism. Objective reality exists, and their ideas are bad (i.e. evil). End of.
In this case it is a bad idea though. Wheelchair bound cripples and dementia patients aren’t going to farm a single crop no matter how many of them you throw into the fields. They’ll die there and the crops will wither away and feed nobody and make no tax revenue
Fascist leaders are good at manipulating stupid people. That does not mean smart fascists do not exist. Intelligence and morality are largely independent qualities, and some fascists are smart assholes, not morons tricked into it.
Doesn’t apply in this specific case, but still: Assuming all fascists are stupid is dangerous; makes it easier for the smart ones to work against you.
smart ones like thiels know how to do it behind the scenes and not bring attention upon himself, through palintir and funding gop mostly. the ones that cant help themselves are musks, bezos, trump.
Ah yes because my cancer having ass won’t be physically wrecked trying to do work like that.
Do these assholes even listen to themselves?
EDIT: To those responding to me, this is less about me and more about the fact that they expect actual amounts of labor to be able to be done in this way. The job will be done badly, slowly, and inefficiently. The crop will still rot on the vine. Sure, it’s because they want to hurt people, but like all fascist idiots, they fail to see how they’re hurting themselves by reducing the ability for the wealthy to still actually turn a profit. Hard to profit off of a harvest that rots on the vine because your medicaid recipient workers literally cannot do the job fast enough.
Your cancer having ass dying is their goal.
Repeat after me, friends: conservatism is a death cult
This is Trump’s admin calling you a “useless eater”. I recommend you get familiar with the term.
As long as they perceive that they’re hurting their targets more than they hurt themselves, they’ll make that sacrifice.
Do you know who also forcefully employed weakened people in heavy work?
Farm workers are chronically underpaid. Farm work could be good work if it was half as stressful and paid double.
What we need is a reform of the way that agriculture is done. Instead of relying on migrant workers who have no realistic chance of standing up and demanding a good treatment, the working conditions should be made attractive enough for americans to work there again.
Next step is putting them in solent greens
The overwhelming majority of Medicaid recipients already have a job, thanks. Some have multiple.
GOP: “look, can we just skip to the part where we have slaves again?”
Work will set you free
How about we replace her with a turnip. It will definitely do a better job.
Of course, we need to make the asocial and undesirable ‘work-shy’ elements of society contribute their fair share to the fatherland’s struggle, the great leader has spoken! /s
The concentration camps didn’t begin as a policy of industrialized state murder, but grew out deliberate policy decisions that viewed people as problems that needed ‘correcting’ or eliminating, instead of viewing people as individuals. And we are seeing the same here today:
-
Red triangles marked “political prisoners… [which] in Auschwitz were, above all, Poles.
-
Green triangles marked “criminal”, imprisoned as a direct consequence of committing a forbidden act, or after release from prison in cases where the criminal police regarded the sentence imposed by the court as too lenient.
-
Black triangles marked “asocial” prisoners, imprisoned in theory for vagrancy or prostitution, but in fact for a wide range of other deeds or behaviors, loosely and arbitrarily interpreted by the police. The Roma in the Birkenau “Gypsy camp” were classified as asocial.
-
Purple triangles marked prisoners imprisoned for belonging to the Jehovah’s Witnesses, regarded as enemies of the state because of their pacifistic beliefs.
-
Pink triangles marked homosexual prisoners, in practice exclusively German, who were imprisoned on the basis of §175 of the German criminal code.
-
This is exactly their plan. Make your existence so miserable and poor that you have to take any job available, even if it’s glorified slavery.
That’s capitalism.
Absoeffinlutely!
they saw russia, and want to copy it thats what it is, oligarches all at the top, putin in the center, but putin has a habbit of “causing defensatration though”
