Reading a horrifying story about farm workers being forced to pay farm owners for “meal plans” of atrocious food, enforced by threats of violence What kind of country would be content to eat produce picked by workers forced to eat swamp fish cooked on an improvised grill?

Screenshot of text reading:
He noted that nothing about these forced meal plans is "optional" or "voluntary". Workers have to pay for the meal plan even if they don't eat the food - and it's often a hard violation to prove because most employers know better than to leave a paper trail. Jacobson says that typically, when H-2A workers are taken to cash their checks, their employers then immediately demand a kickback: cash for the plan.
Ryland has represented workers in more extreme cases. In one, an employer told workers that they would have to pay a fee if they wanted to leave their labor camp, and the employer also locked them out of the labor camp kitchen and threatened to shoot workers who fled without first paying their debts. The workers who remained were forced to pay exorbitant amounts for meager, poor-quality food. Unable to go to the grocery store or use the kitchen, hungry farmworkers built a makeshift grill with cinder blocks and an oven rack to grill swamp fish they caught

The cop stories always start bad and get way worse when more details come out. I'm surprised the original murder of a judge was just passed off as an argument like it's okay to kill someone over one.

"The decision to step down was not related to the murder charges Stines faces, his lawyer said ... The shooting also took place days after Stines was deposed in a federal investigation involving a deputy who pleaded guilty to raping a female prisoner."

This was so good that I have to share. I had brisket jalapeno poppers with this peach and hatch chili sauce. Omg....

Brisket jalapeno poppers, mashed potatoes, and green beans on a blue plate that has seashell designs around the edge. On top of a placemat that also has seashell designs in blue and grey on a white background that's on a beige table cover with stripes around the edge.
A jar or harvest peach and hatch pepper sauce on a counter.
