      On the farms, he said, residents would grow their own organic food—which would help them recover from addiction,

      These people are going to starve to death. It’s difficult enough to farm when you want to farm.

        Yeah, this is literally a page out of Mao’s Great Leap Forward.

        Not exactly. My ADHD has only one good use… I am amazing at dealing with worst case scenarios and in fact thrive in them. I will always find a way to do something, survive and enjoy it. I had more fun in Japan when I was broke after I lost my scholarship than I was before I did. I rode a busted old bike with flat tires everywhere, I found ways to scrounge for food, I survived odd of a bag of flour and snuck my mom into my dorm. I have no interest in normal day to day easy life. Put me in the wilderness and make me kill my food.

          One or two people would be doing all the work while the others would be complaining the whole time.

        Don’t worry, they’ll have all the most advanced GMO crops, pesticides, and fertilizer. The plants will grow no matter what you do. Whether you want to eat them or not is an open question.

            I’m pretty sure this is just a farm labor program to replace the migrants they’re deporting. So he isn’t really going to have a say.

          I mean, it’s RFK Jr. I doubt he would even be able to identify real organic fertilizers anyway. If he were to inspect a site and see fertilizers, even organic fertilizer in bags, he’s probably tell them to throw it out and just just rely on the unamended soil. He would then go home and eat over priced Whole Foods produce that may or may not be honest about the organic label.
