I support this.

But this is going to be spun as — telling people on Medicaid to go out into the fields and pick cotton. It will be seen as an effort to re-impose slavery.

I worked the fields throughout my teen years.

It’s respectable work and it makes you appreciate both rest and a better job.

Machines pick cotton now, people are way too slow and the farms are much larger in general. But drivers are needed and the cabs are air conditioned now.

Slavery is still permissible “as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted” per the Thirteenth Amendment, JFTR.
