I would appreciate any commentary to correct my aberrational thinking.
The share croppers left in the middle of the night because of conditions, physical and economical with the landowner.
The workers in the slaughter houses or meat packing plants are being to forced to work in deadly conditions. I switched to slaughter houses because they are sending family members into their death.
I thought we were beyond this.
The federal government needs to step up and fund ALL the state and local government. What I see for these communities are decreasing economic activity and the industry shooting itself in the foot. I see a failure in what the GOP is trying to do to prop up their version of a business model.
This is a catastrophe in the making in lives and their economic environment.

(67,432 posts)because the "farmer" lives on someone else's land with permission of the owner in exchange for producing the crop, which is split between the land owner (most of it) and sharecropper (not much of the crop).
