Mark McBride @mccv.bsky.social · 13/04/2026I grew up working in small orchard country (mostly, also rice). Most places were family owned, "small business". But they hired armies of seasonal labor to actually do the harvesting, and the fact that the management class is a "family" doesn't change the fact that they're capital exploiting labor. 150
