Note that I don’t have a problem with anyone’s immigration status except Musk’s simply due to hypocrisy because he is railing against immigration when he himself is likely an illegal immigrant. I just think it’s funny that conservatives always say that immigrants are ruining the country but they have the wrong people identified as the problem.

    Wait you can afford a studio apartment on apple picking?

      From what I’ve read, they are typically migrant workers who are housed on the farm in terrible little shacks. At least here in Washington.

      The people who pick our food are often migratory and follow the crops when they’re ready to be picked. They don’t rent apartments. When I was younger some of my friends went to Maine to rake blueberries, they lived in tents. They got paid by how much they produced and IIRC didn’t have to pay federal taxes.

      Some real rural areas will sometimes have them, I know one of my kinsmen used to maintain some for season workers out in the desert where they grew agave or something. Though I will note that these types of apartments are usually maintained my folks who have actual morales meaning they are exceptionally rare nowadays.
