The part not being said is that all of these farms are in desperate need of workers since their migrant workers are now being deported or in hiding to avoid deportation. What better way to replace them than to offer up drug addicts, alcoholics in trouble with the law, mental health patients, and any other peoples who are considered undesirables in the eyes of the white, Christian nationalists slowly taking over the U.S., and maybe Canada someday soon afterwards. Add into this mix, young children who can no longer attend schools when they shut down the public-school systems in the poorest of the red states. They will also be forced onto farms and other agricultural industries in order to keep them of the streets. This is the eventual future of the U.S. according to tenets of Project 2025. We are starting to see this get started.
Yup. I said the same thing to my mother when we heard one asshole Republican rep comment on school lunches, that when *he* was a kid, he earned money for food by picking berries after school.
You know, because children who don't work- because they're busy being children- are leeches on the State. Free school lunches are a way to encourage lazy children with no value.
He actually said that children going to work teaches them how to be valuable to society.
You have to have a sick mind to view the world that way.
I’ve been on SSRIs for anxiety and depression for 30 years, and without them, I wouldn’t be alive today. Depriving us of SSRIs is as dangerous as withholding treatment for non-mental health-related chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. If anything, these meds DECREASE our chances of committing violence, even if it’s just against ourselves. I will die before I let that mental midget RFK Jr. send me to a farm.
Besides, I quite like it here on the Island of Misfit Toys. ;)
I have a cousin, a fiance, all of my in-laws and a lot of friends in the States. Every single day I get more and more frightened for their safety with all of this bullshit.
Some of them are on SSRIs to manage serious depression and anxiety; I know how much their medications make a difference in their lives. Even the ones who aren't on medications are at risk for other reasons, and I don't know how to comfort them.

All I can say is that I’ll keep fighting for us till I’m dead.
RFK jr should be the first to go to the farm!!
