LINK When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers : The Salt : NPR
There is a disdain for those who do "menial" labor that runs through our collective conciousness.Why? These are things that NEED done. We all depend on workers who do the dirty work. So why are we such assholes about paying them a living wage and treating workers fairly. Why do we idolize those who benefit disproportionately from the hard work and misery of so many?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Reading this something came to mind. To harvest is a long hard day some crops can only be picked by hand. Thinking of this it would only be in the government's interest to get tax paying revenue from the paychecks of farmworkers. So why do they not have an agency that would investigate and implement less aggressive ways of harvesting? Like machines that would make it simpler with tax breaks for farms that would use this types of equipment.
