Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

front page of reddit: "if trump deports illegals, this will raise the cost of things because they'll no longer be here to do those jobs"
I don't think the U.S. will struggle to fill those vacant positions, with some combination of technology and available labor, although I'm curious what you guys think on how to transition the economy from illegal labor to legal labor? What will help it to go smoothly, what might cause problems? Thoughts on this? (should a separate post be made in GA or TD or are any posts discussing this?)
It's simple. Big ag is strangling farmers by telling them what to buy, what to use, how to use it, and who to sell to... driving up their costs for decades now.
This bureaucracy should've never occurred dating back to the 70s. Remove that stranglehold and start actually enforcing existing labor laws and the jobs will fill themselves.
