So much of the argumentation around this topic sounds the south arguing for slavery except it's liberals arguing for exploitative labor.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago

Yes but no. These people should be allowed in to work, legally and with workers protections. Not exploited.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 24 points 4 days ago

Yep, forcing businesses to actually pay market rate for labour is something of an upside.

capitalism suddenly stops believing in the supply demand graph once coercion is off the table

Why don't these farmers pay more to AMERICAN 🦅🇺🇸 citizens 🤬

Do they not understand demand and supply principle of capitalism?

Everywhere there's lots of leopards

Leading leopard lives

You can see them out for dinner

With their leopard wives

Clutching forks and knives

Well, they won’t work for less than minimum wage, so there’s your problem. Hell, won’t even work for minimum wage.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (22 children)

Isn't $7/hr minimum wage? That's slave conditions as well.

Let's think about this. If you work 8 hours under the hot sun with little breaks, you'll get $56 and that's before taxes. It's insane. That's probably not even what they're paying them.

Good! No exploiters should be able to sustain their practices.
