Farmers will have trouble finding workers willing to do the labor. I don't live in a farming town, but we have a stupid amount of Orange groves. Any person can walk off the street and instantly get a job picking oranges here. White people refuse to do this work, I know unemployed ones who I tell them "you can go pick oranges" they say "fuck that" It's 99% illegals, and they'll get deported if Trump has his way. Without the illegals I have no clue how these oranges will get picked. And I think to this day, Riverside's one of the biggest sources for Oranges in the entire US.

If the orange groves out here have to start paying white people $20 an hour to pick them, OJ will be out of most peoples price range.
Easy peasy, incarcerate more people, then prison labor makes up the difference.

Farmers make up a tiny portion of the "rural" population but are also the most heavily subsidized population in the US. They won't get hurt.

The majority of rural folks are aren't farmers and are going to get bit by higher prices.

The way farmers might get hit is if there are retaliatory tariffs on US agricultural exports. That in turn could cause a general recession either in those rural areas specifically, or even globally, that will hurt everyone else.

[Edit] There's also this

LOL they probably couldn't use inmates to pick oranges. I think a big condition of the labor they do is the warden needs to be able to see them at all times. It would be impossible to keep an eye on a bunch of dudes in orange jump suits in massive orange groves. But when the illegals get deported I don't think they'll start paying livable wages to white people to pick oranges so maybe it will become prisoners.

Well, things are going swell and he’s not even in office yet. 25% tariffs to Mexico and Canada? I’ll say it again… you guys are fucked.
It appears Trump forgot about his NAFTA 2.0 trade agreement that he put in place his first term. Not a suprise that he will go back on his own trade agreement, which is going to open up a bigger can of worms.

Americans hate price increases for any reason and are most certainly not willing to pay more for American made products. China is only the third largest US trade partner behind Mexico and Canada.



Tariffs will solve all problems according to him. High prices? Tarrifs. Unemployment? Tarrifs. Lung cancer? Tarrifs.



They generally fail to do anything but raise prices and invite retaliation that is damaging to currently viable businesses.
I personally will pay more for American made when possible.
But the poors that think they are middles class will not work them there illegal's jobs.
More of them should have showed up to vote then. Sucks for those who did. The country as a whole needs to learn a hard lesson. Easy times weak men etc etc that idiots like to throw out there without realizing they are the weak men who voted for an authoritarian because of some weak economic complaints during one of the most prosperous times in the history of civilization.
I am a 51 yr old who will climb poles with hooks on to get the upload speed of the internet where it should be. Like tomorrow I might add.
Well given that they appear to want to gut the ACA that is probably going to happen!
Dropped my employer HC that went up 10% to 400 BI-WEEKLY, to an ACA plan that is maybe 90 a month. I have already broke 10k on my portion of the employer health care share. Which does not count towards a deductible.
*raises his hand*

Yep, we are finishing a kitchen remodel next year that includes a new microwave, range hood, oven, and cooking surface. I've already noticed the prices on my wife's preferred appliances have increased!

We're gonna go purchase these things now and leave em in my garage until we do the remodel. Sucks if there's an issue with the appliance when we finally get around to installing them and turning them on.
I have purchased all of the new 9800x3d rig ahead of time. I just need 1 more 4TB M.2 before i bend the hardline tubing to make the swap.

They are already raising prices in anticipation of the Tariffs. Meaning not only tech companies.

I don’t think they would pick them even for $20/hr. If the average American was willing to get their hands dirty there wouldn’t be any shortage of welders, plumbers, HVAC techs, auto techs, etc. Those jobs can pay six figures if you’re certified.

Unless we hit a Great depression level economic collapse the oranges would probably just rot on the tree until somebody gets a fleet of humanoid robots powered by AI out there
