    In the 60's, my Dad and Uncle worked the sugar cane fields in Palm Beach county Florida. By the start of the 70's both families were living in Fort Lauderdale. As a child I didn't know how bad it was, how we were. But my Dad and Uncle carried us through it and made it so we didn't have to suffer. Thank you Dad Thank you Unc 👏👏👏

    It would be interesting to have 60 Minutes do an update of this story in 2021. Wonder what, if anything, has changed.

      probably undocumented migrant workers working the fields and living in decrepit conditions

    The story is not about migrant workers, it's about Black American farm workers who have worked that sugar land for generations.

      The inside of that old women’s “house” was just dreadful. She’s living near the 1980’s like it’s the 1880’s. No indoor plumbing, no electricity assuming.
      What this story centers in is free association, as in, people have the right to see other people, such as workers and union organizers. Along with false generosity. How is it “generous “ to demean that old women into living practically in a different century, no pension. What would be generous is to set up a monthly stipend and get her a little apartment in town that’s actually modern, or modern in 1978.
      What I’m seeing is almost a parallel between the sugar cane field system and the system against Amazon workers. They way Amazon violates free association and union busts has some similarities to what the cane processing companies did. I have no sought that if they wouldn’t get much blowback, Amazon would set up worker housing, and pay them in an Amazon currency only good at Amazon.

    Heres a great example of why Karma doesn't really exist. If it did exist who should get a taste of it ? Yeah.....exactly.. We psyc ourselves into Karma. But the people who should be getting it never even think of karma.
