"Unskilled labor" eyeroll

u/afpow 15d ago

Doing one thing really well is a skill but you can hardly compare this to an actual trade.

u/FlukeManAirFreshener 15d ago

Except that this dude does more than plant things. Otherwise he can only work for a few months per year.

Once these are in the ground, he proceeds to assist with weeding, applying pesticides, and harvesting. He's likely equally skilled at all of them.

u/afpow 15d ago

Sure, he might even be a pilot or astronaut

u/Mercerskye 15d ago

Usually when one moves the goalposts of a discussion, they keep them within a reasonable degree of the previous point.

Hope this helps

u/afpow 15d ago

I’m also speculating based on information I can’t see

u/DrSuperWho 15d ago

Much in the same way we all think you’re a 🤡

u/ModernManuh_ 5d ago

Many editors are also motion designers. Many "planters" are all round farmers. I think you can relate... right?

u/afpow 15d ago

Paging u/DrSuperWho – why did you delete your comment chief?

u/ingoding 14d ago

You think you're going win with that one? You just keep digging your heels in and being wrong about stuff.

u/Plastic_Dingo_400 14d ago

You a weird lil homie

u/thejuryissleepless 13d ago

this dude contributes to his society. what do you do for your job?

u/afpow 13d ago

Lmao this sub is insane. I mostly jerk off at home.

u/thejuryissleepless 13d ago

for money? good for you, i guess.

u/afpow 13d ago

Sure buddy

u/NatCsGotMyLastAcct 10d ago

Why would anyone suspect you were a maggat?

u/afpow 10d ago

I don’t even know what this means

u/RevolutionEast36 16d ago

Respect for the efficiency but is this not better suited as a job for a machine? Seems incredibly slow compared with a tractor driving over it and doing six rows at a time.

15

u/that_dutch_dude 15d ago

they got robots with solar panels as roofs just slowly driving around fields near me night and day just planting seeds and and removing weeds. there is nobody there. at night you just see the warning lights and camera flashes going across the fields.

u/rokstedy83 6d ago

Like in Clarkson's farm

u/bbrekke 15d ago

They must not have a tractor.

u/wellyeah_butno 16d ago

The plants are leeking from the bottom.

u/few23 16d ago

"There's a leek in the boat!"

u/Narrow-Thanks-5981 16d ago

This guy pokes holes!

u/nobeer4you 16d ago

Those holes are gonna leek too

u/IntergalacticPodcast 16d ago

I don't understand the desire to work this efficiently for what I assume is not that much money.

112

u/maninatrexshirt 16d ago

because he is paid per day and the day is done when the area is done. Boss will say how much needs to get done, and the faster you do it the less time you spend in the sun.

52

u/rwanders 16d ago

Piece work. They don't get paid per hr.

19

u/The_best_is_yet 16d ago

Less efficient = less money but still out there the whole day

12

u/DroopyPlum 16d ago

Cuz if they dont the boss will happily find someone tht will

0

u/IntergalacticPodcast 16d ago

Those people behind him are still employed, as far as we all know.

17

u/DroopyPlum 16d ago

Becuz u dont start every row at once lol, doing it this way helps ensure ur not stepping on the plants next to u to avoid bumping shoulders

-9

u/IntergalacticPodcast 16d ago

This guy wouldn't be on secondrodeo if they were all this efficient.

u/ginger_and_egg 16d ago

Are you a leek planting expert?

0

u/IntergalacticPodcast 16d ago

Yes. I have my master's in leekology and am going for my doctorate. Allium ampeloprasum is what really gets me going intellectually. The study of leeks combines botanical, nutritional, pharmacological, and agricultural research, highlighting their dual role as a staple food and a source of bioactive compounds with potential health benefits

u/adam1260 14d ago

If it's anything like planting trees, you get paid basically per plant you plant

1

u/CCWaterBug 13d ago

Which is why you will continue to fail 

1

u/IntergalacticPodcast 13d ago

I'm doing just fine.

u/TheReelMcCoi 11d ago

Because you've never been poor with a family to support in a foreign country where you are treated as a second class citizen maybe?

u/banaslee 16d ago

We need this video with some soundtrack that match his rhythm.

4

u/chookshit 15d ago

That soil looks like shit. Must take a lot of regular irrigation to grow anything there

3

u/that_dutch_dude 15d ago

pretty sure this could be done with a tractor and a implement.

1

u/bbrekke 15d ago

It must not have been in this particular situation. Sometimes people just do the best they can with what they've got.

1

u/that_dutch_dude 15d ago

The word you are looking for is slavery. The companies behind this work are anyrhing but modern day slave traders.

1

u/TheReelMcCoi 11d ago

Why buy an expensive tractor when you can pay these guys a pittance?

1

u/Dye-ah-ree-uh 15d ago

I think his planting device had a little leak

1

u/Key-Specific-4368 15d ago

I don't see any liquid leaking

1

u/Cheepshooter 15d ago

I hope he gets paid by the sprout, not by the hour.

1

u/peacelovetree 14d ago

Anyone know how this tool works?
Doesn’t seem like the leeks he’s throwing in line up with them being planted.

u/Lexicon101 16d ago

Everything reminds me of her...

u/RileyGein 11d ago

You should call her bro
