At the root of the #workershortage – which advocates say is really a shortage of good jobs – is #lowwages. Most #homeless services frontline workers get $16 and $18 an hour, far too little for the grueling labor, not enough to live in expensive #California cities.

From the article: "“A decision to take summer water from local farmers and dump it out of these reservoirs shows a complete lack of understanding of how the system works and sets a very dangerous precedent,” said Dan Vink, a longtime Tulare County water manager and principal partner at Six-33 Solutions, a water and natural resource firm in Visalia.
“This decision was clearly made by someone with no understanding of the system or the impacts that come from knee-jerk political actions.”"
This is what bothers me most about this #ICE bullshit
These guys have no tags on their cars, faces are covered/ sunglasses, internet mall tacticool gear, and they are abducting people
Who are they? Or rather, what #terrorist paramilitary mischief can be done under the guise of "#deportation raids" by racists, gangs, etc
But I love the energy of the woman filming this shameful travesty, calling out their bullshit
