but what about the crops? obviously they won't be picked... so, they don't care they don't get picked? is this a back-door way to go after farm subsidies too?

ok so the guys planning this know that forcing Medicaid workers into these jobs will kill Medicaid benefits, obviously.

It's a bold strat for sure, taking people who are already disabled and making them even more disabled by doing back breaking work.

Step one: cripple the already disabled Step two: action t5

Well doubtless they hope the work makes some of them strong slaves because they were just faking it to be lazy because that's a real thing that definitely happens. And those it breaks and leaves disabled beyond the point of doing anything like this they leave to die in the gutter, having extracted some value from them for capital in the process and disposed of them successfully. But while they're dying they'll be desperately fighting existing workers for jobs thus allowing worsening conditions, crackdowns on unions, pay kept lower, etc.
