Should we send billionaires to pick fruit?
There seems to be a shortage on low-skill agricultural work in the US. I think it's a job that would fit them, and maybe give them a real work ethic and allow them to actually contribute to society.

They will just pay other people to pick fruit for them.

Deportation fallout: This farmer lost half his workforce. Now he’s losing his crop too [www.cnn.com]


The Dalles, Oregon

The cherries are rotting on the trees in Ian Chandler’s orchards. Branch after branch hang heavy with fruit the Oregon farmer calls “mummified” — dark, shriveled and unappetizing.

The same billionaires that enable your bourgeoisie lifestyle and luxury beliefs?

Yeah, sure, why not....
We should replace them with AI.
What a ridiculous question. And who is this "we?" You don't have the power to make anybody do anything.

? If every single citizen acted as a sole entity they would indeed have that power, but they choose not to

I bet someone said that to Lenin
It's wrong for a society to create individuals with such levels of wealth, so it would help a lot if we could build camps where these people can work and prove that they are of use in other fields too.

Hiring illegal immigrants is against federal law in the first place[www.justice.gov] so he should be fined, and if the scale of the operation was that bad he should possibly even be jailed too.
You have magas, send them.

Which fields have you contributed to?

Hilarious to watch random nobodies on steam carry water for billionaires.

Sure. I mean I think that's the point. The unemployment rate in Oregon is at 4.9% representing 108,000 unemployed people in Oregon. Surely some of them can pick cherries. Well, maybe next year's harvest since this year's harvest is already spoiling.

They don't choose nothing other than what those billionaires tell them to choose.

except they dont. not a single one of them has done anything to justify their billions. its the only point the left has right.

the guy who made mcdonalds is dead from old age and made way less then the current ceo who nearly killed the company and people like gabe are how old now? all the people actually worth a damn are ancient or died of old age very very very few actually worked for their money these days. just sitting there googling the general economy ceo for the last 10-20 years is eye opening since most of them are related to some sort of congressmen level person.

if anything was enabling luxury beliefs it was the government.
