My first job came when I was 5 years old, and my Chickasaw family gathered at a cherry orchard in The Dalles my mother grew up in. Liberal dementia calls this Big Ag exploiting poverty and child slave labor. My mother taught me it is priceless opportunity to teach her boys a work ethic as Chickasaw women have been doing since the dawn of time, and long before whitey showed up. One of the dumbest things America did was pull our youth from our agriculture fields as this has created a generation of snowflakes void of a work ethic. My grandma and her 12 kids thumbed a ride to Oregon from Oklahoma coming here destitute to look for work and overcome third world poverty through a work ethic. Today the orchard that employed my family, and how they rose to middle class, would be fined into bankruptcy for putting my family to work.
