Have fun picking strawberries and cuttin grass

I worked for a temp agency for a brief period, and they sent me to a warehouse where they would pack 40 to 50 pound bags of spice and other powdered ingredients in big ass bags then stack them ? on pallets and load the pallets into trucks.

I was out of college and needed money badly. A ? was hurting. The agency said the job paid like 14 $ per hour and the assignment would last 3 months. I was like 14 $ per hour!!!..... ? thats gravy. All's I need is a couple checks at 40 hours and I'll be back on my feet. ? , I might even cop me some J's after the first couple of checks and stack my bread up right? Nope.

So, this warehouse didnt have any climate control and mind you this was the middle of the summer near Chicago so its like 90 degrees outside and felt like 100 inside the warehouse. My first day there I notice it's like 98% Hispanic with the only whites being the crew chiefs and forklift operators along with 2 other unfortunate negroes including myself.

I shoulda knew something was off when they forced all the employees to stretch for 15 mins before the shift. These 40 to 50 pounds bags would come down a conveyer belt non-? stop and you would have to pick them ? up and stack them on a pallet from the ground up at a pretty decent pace or the whole line would back up. I finished loading my first pallet and I told the Mexican guy training me "I need a break. It's really hot." The ? laughed at me and said we just started and you need a break? I was already in a full sweat after like 5 mins.






After 3 hours of that ? , I was exhausted. I kid you not, the only 1 or 2 hispanic females there were out working me....i was like ? Damn!!! The temp agency sent me there with another brother who started at the same time, and he tapped out after the first day. ? was so labor intensive I would wake up tired and go to sleep mad and cranky ? . I would have to take 20 mins showers to wash the powder and spice off me. 1 week is all I could muster. I never worked so hard in my life.

They couldnt offer me enough money to do that ? today. Too ? damn labor intensive. I was having lower back pain for a while after quiting that ? . Back then I was 23 and fit with lower back pain because of all the lifting and bending...smh. When they say Americans don't want those jobs. It's not a buzz phrase. They actually don't. I know for sure I dont and that's from experience.

Funny story but it's has a lot of validity in regards to most Latin American immigrants.

A lot of them will go take labor intensive low skill wage jobs that Blacks and Whites don't want to be bothered with.

Got Negroes thinking Julio from south of the border who likely does some minimal job like tending to produce and livestock on a farm, working construction or landscaping, or working in some manufacturing job in likely deplorable conditions is taking their piece of the American pie when most Negroes not pursuing that type of work in significant numbers anyway.

Meanwhile the White man who has a hand in everyone's pocket is playing you all against one another while he continues to finesse your pockets and your attitude towards people who are not like you.

A lot of White men build their empire on the back of that cheap labor. Folks are also naive if they don't know if those same men somehow had to pay their employees more that those higher wages wouldn't somehow be floated back to the consumers (you) in the form of a higher price for goods and services.

Most of those Latin American workers would work all day with no benefits, few if any breaks, and for a third of the pay more traditional Black and White American workers would be demanding.

Although Trump earned Klein’s vote, he worries that recent executive orders ratcheting up deportation plans and calling for a wall are putting a chokehold on an already tight pool of workers.

“That’s killing our labor force,” says the 35-year-old grower.

Some of those jobs actually have decent pay believe it or not.

I remember watching this segment on the news where this farm owner was paying vegetable pickers 15 $ per hour w/ benefits and he couldnt retain pretty much any American born workers because how labor intensive the work was. The farm owner was trying to recruit American workers because Obama was clamping down and deporting a lot of his undocumented workers.

A grape picker in Nappa Valley can make 30-45k in Cali with benefits, but Americans still dont want to work those jobs.

How do Republicans make people vote against their own interests is beyond me?

So, the grower in the article risks going bankrupt, but still gave Trump his vote. Smh. ? .

Rush Limbaugh Suggests Hurricane Irma Part of ‘Deep State’ Conspiracy to Advance ‘Climate Change Agenda’

Well, it appears that conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh is a Hurricane Irma truther.

During Tuesday’s broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show, the right-wing pundit decided to provide his own personal analysis as residents in the Caribbean and South Florida are scrambling for safety and supplies as the Category 5 hurricane bears down on them.

“The reason that I am leery of forecasts this far out, folks, is because I see how the system works,” Limbaugh noted, adding that this is something you can see in the way “the deep state deals with Trump.”

The conservative stalwart went on to claim that meteorologists and an “abundance of people” believe “that man-made climate change is real” and also believed Al Gore when he said hurricanes would be stronger and more abundant than in previous years.

“And, of course, when Harvey hit, it was the first hurricane that had hit in 12 years,” he stated. “There haven’t been more hurricanes and they’re no more dangerous than any others in previous years.”

Limbaugh wasn’t done, though, as he wanted his audience to know that all of the attention on the dangerous storm was as a way to get people to believe in climate change.

“So there is a desire to advance this climate change agenda, and hurricanes are one of the fastest and best ways to do it,” Limbaugh declared. “You can accomplish a lot just by creating fear and panic. You don’t even need a hurricane to hit anywhere.”

He finished off by claiming that hurricane panic also benefitted retailers and the media, as stores are able to sell large quantities of bottled water and other supplies, and the media gains by getting more viewers who are watching for storm coverage.

Finally, it would seem a bit odd that Limbaugh thinks Hurricane Irma is a left-wing hoax, especially considering how much coverage the Drudge Report gave the storm on Tuesday.
