Any time you see an adjective used as a noun you can be sure dehumanization is taking place. Just think of all the illegals, blacks, criminals and poor that are not worthy of even the most basic human dignity.

Repubs are subhuman at governing, but they have a real knack for messaging. They simply change what words mean to "win" arguments.

In this case they changed an adjective into a noun.

Pretty much all the Castro escapees do. I don't know about the younger generations though.

This is interesting to me. As some of you know, I show chickens and ducks. I don't often show in Florida because the testing restrictions are a pain in the butt. There are masses of paperwork that I have to have before entering the state and I have to stop at two check stations before I enter the show facility. This is all the prevent infectious diseases in domestic birds. Apparently they have more value than people in Florida.

I don't understand how Florida has managed to keep its deaths per million down. They're 27th in the country. Larger population than New York but with about 40% fewer deaths. And they have so many old people and complete idiots run the show. Are they just lying about deaths? Or is their warm, humid climate saving them?

And yet farmers tend to vote Repub. The GOP has done an amazing job of getting people to vote against their own economic interests.

Note that having immigrant workers also keeps food costs down, which benefits almost all Americans.

They don't want to change the minimum wage to $15 'cause it would cost business too much, but eliminating low-cost farm labor is just fine and won't cost business a thing. Other than the cost of letting produce rot in the fields.
