Ah yes because my cancer having ass won't be physically wrecked trying to do work like that.
Do these assholes even listen to themselves?
EDIT: To those responding to me, this is less about me and more about the fact that they expect actual amounts of labor to be able to be done in this way. The job will be done badly, slowly, and inefficiently. The crop will still rot on the vine. Sure, it's because they want to hurt people, but like all fascist idiots, they fail to see how they're hurting themselves by reducing the ability for the wealthy to still actually turn a profit. Hard to profit off of a harvest that rots on the vine because your medicaid recipient workers literally cannot do the job fast enough.
Your cancer having ass dying is their goal.
Repeat after me, friends: conservatism is a death cult
This is Trump's admin calling you a "useless eater". I recommend you get familiar with the term.
Do you know who also forcefully employed weakened people in heavy work?
As long as they perceive that they're hurting their targets more than they hurt themselves, they'll make that sacrifice.
