Take away life long welfare payouts.

You’d be surprised what people will eventually do for food/survivorship....most will actually end up doing something called work.

It may take a decade, or so, to get “career” welfare folks off the OPM drug, but, eventually they’d come around and even have an added benefit....self pride for a job well done.

Maybe taking welfare payments out might push these people along, but I don’t think you can find enough people from either party to accomplish something like that.

The other part to this story is that farmers just need day-labor people who can come in and deliver maybe 1,000 man-hours in a very tight window of opportunity. You add in health insurance, oddball costs....this gets up to $18 an hour easily, and the farmer would laugh because that’s way beyond his ability to pay that kind of money.

Our whole structure of pricing, from the grocery back to the farmer would have to change entirely. Go tell someone that their grocery bill just went up 150-percent, and see quickly they’d freak out.
