Migrant workers were pressured into working in dangerous conditions during the wildfires. The payment structure for farmworkers incentivizes them to work through legally required breaks, something that was already under scrutiny due to a string of heat related deaths. Farms have been noncompliant or insufficiently compliant with providing workers with safety equipment and information. There have been a lot of awful stories coming out of the fires but this is really, really atrocious.
Everyone’s a building burning with no one to put the fire out. Standing at the window looking out, waiting for time to burn us down. Everyone’s an ocean drowning with no one really to show how. They might get a little better air if they turned themselves into a cloud.
Well the future’s got me worried Such awful thoughts My head’s a carousel of pictures The spinning never stops I just want someone to walk in front And I’ll follow the leader
