When you buy vegtables think of these hardworking people.

1. First of all, I have nothing against coal miners. But the area I live in has a fairly large

number of unemployed miners....for various reasons. Yet, they stay put and rant about Trump bringing back coal. Meanwhile, many of the migrant laborers (and many are actually citizens) that have traveled many, many miles to find work and they do it well. Take it from there and draw your own conclusions.

2. Migrant workers also follow the seasons, harvesting vegetables in summer,

Apples and pears in the fall, doing handy work during the winter, then harvesting early vegetables and fruit during the spring. They never take time off or ask the government to bail them out.

3. Exactly. For decades. They follow the work and they do the jobs that these Trumpists will not do.

5. But they're stealing our jobs!!

What a bunch of bullshit. How many times do we read about “lazy” this or that. These people work so very hard their entire lives at shitty work and get zero thanks and are villified for it.

4. I thought of pickers as I picked cherries off one of our trees this summer

No words except - it's hard! Respect follows a few hours like that. They do it year in and year out following the crops. I only filled 6 gallon bags to freeze and left the rest for the birds, squirrels and raccoons.

6. It's part of my nightly meditation to thank those who grow and pick my food

Great way to have a restful sleep

8. That is beautiful.

Thank you, I think I will add that to mine. Lovely thought.. ☺️🍓

9. If you have the buddhify app, it's on there

It's called "Thank you"

😄

Extremely taxing work with slave wages.

11. Thanks for the reminder. Truly hard work deserves recognition.

13. I actually harvested radishes once as a summer job...

I think I lasted about 3 weeks or less.

Hard, dirty work.

America (as a country) does not respect real hard work.
