So americans don't eat! Most are fat enough to survive for a few months on body fat alone... you're fat enough as a nation, y'all be ok, m'kay?

Drink fluids; water rather than Pepsi (tm) and y'all fat asses'll be ok.

It's not like this hasn't been a long time coming. Think of it as the Earth's revenge for all the cr*p you've done to it.

America is doomed.

Peons whistling while their pants are on fire!

The more americans who suffer the more jesus loves y'all!

The more that americans can do to destroy themselves, the better for all of us outside the trashy usa.

Keep up the good work, morons!

Now the stupid California government won't let water flow to the farmers on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley because of some tiny fish that get caught in the pumps. Thousands of farmers are going under. Entire small towns are going belly up. And the stupid libs say "no water"... when there is plenty. The libs think all their food comes from Whole Foods market. One million acres are going uncultivated because of a guppy! Government gone mad.

If these people don't work the rest of us don't eat. I guess our gov't doesn't get that concept neither.

don't you get it? use your thinker! dont you see what is happening? no cheap labour to pick your produce means less produce to market and a shortage of food! shortage of food! this is not just about someone not being able to afford to live in a farming community. it's about people not being able to afford farming. you and i won't be fed sometime in the near future. watch the produce section of your store in a year from now. EMPTY!

learn about binary economics...how once the intention is opened, the same financing that is available to the rich can help the poor and the entire pie can grow bigger. see my playlist on binary economics and Robert Ashford, a professor at Syracuse

So this isn't about foreclosure as much as it is exploting cheap labor to make a buck. Well this individual case is. He wants to hire illegals at a dollar an hour to pick his lettuce and that just can't happen anymore. I don't feel sorry for him.
