all timer right here

adjusting to "we're just gonna let you have a nice time as long as you want" is pretty jarring there. I've run into a few cases of "we don't have tables. Actually.... if you can finish in 1.5 hours we could squeeze you in", and I just laugh and say that won't be a problem.

ugh, it's so good.

See also the H2A program, which is the same fucked up shit but for farm workers, complete with the "you can exploit this program by getting cozy with the right government agency"

I firmly believe there's a class of people who look at the $100k and cheer on because they're ethnonationalists. And there's another class who cheer on because it's one step away from having H1B workers surrender their passports to their employers.

I read those and really liked them!

I worked light manual farm labor (driving a hay raking tractor, loading hay trucks, not actual harvesting) for a few seasons. If you haven't done it, it's hard to comprehend how brutal the conditions are, and how much the piece-work nature of the jobs drives you to work yourself to death.

Other highlights: they guy seems to revel in the fact he was a fuckup in his 20s, but through the grace of god and his father's assets he was able to turn things around and run a farm that exploits immigrants.

Other highlights: FL's e-verify requirement doesn't apply to current employees, so he knows he's still employing undocumented people, and he sorta giggles at "they just need to keep their jobs". Which, fun times, because now a threat of firing, or a workplace injury is a threat of deportation.

Love being so short that same. I have a vanity weight target that would put me at ~10% body fat, and still have me overweight. I currently have a resting heart rate low enough that the nurse asks me if it's always like that, great cardio capacity, and am squarely "obese"

I have not! Where should I start?
