With farm owners protesting today over the prospect of paying a highly discounted inheritence tax, I'm sure you've seen quotes about how they "feed the nation".
But nobody is talking about the migrant workers who actually pick the crops on horticulture farms, so here's a short thread about them.

The next story will be written by the “strong men”-Trump, Jinping, Modi.

I'd encourage Conservatives not to hitch their wagon to this particular star, before any indication of how it works when in power. The Johnson/Cummings vibes are pretty strong in the Trump/Musk bromance. It may fall apart spectacularly, disastrously, hilariously, and soon. ~AA
