Idaho potato farmers are looking at disaster. Seasonal migrant labor is down almost 75%. The harvest is coming. They've advertised extensively, but no takers. Idaho's minimum wage is a criminally low $7.25/hr. The potato-picking jobs pay $17 an hour.
For those who are unaware, Idaho is rabidly extreme MAGA. Theyve repeatedly said that rounding up and killing all the brown people would be beneficial, because local troo-bloo AMURRICANS would eagerly grab their jobs.
Nope.
Quite aside from the effects of Trumpiffs, we're looking at skyrocketing food prices, as harvests across the US fail for lack of workers.
Be sure to thank Trump for that!
