(4,049 posts)If there is a significant decline in people willing(?) to pick crops from hot fields due to the risk of deportation, the subsequent rotting of unpicked crops is likely to cause a lot of shortages of food.
If those same farmers then suffer more incidents of pandemic infection because they tend to be more on the political right end of the spectrum, and their 'gods' discourage them and their staff from wearing masks, or getting inoculations, the death toll will rise, and people available in the farms will drop further (potentially including the managers/owners).
IMHO the oligarchs can't see their own noses due to their self-congratulatory introspective viewpoints.
A lot of mutual aid is going to be necessary. Those oligarchs are going to lose out VERY heavily in the long term if they don't change their perspectives. Every game theory expert will tell you cooperation gets far more results than any form of fear-based or combative strategy. We would all do well to learn from that.
GOP and Mango Menace don't seem to be capable of any compassion, or cooperation. A significant flaw in their mental makeup, IMHO.
