So, being rural/farm country, I see stupid people... Not like the cities, more people, more stupid people, but we see our share...
The last few years the state/feds require authorized worker cards or resident status proof for migrant workers, so when you see migrant workers in the fields you know most of them are 'Legal'.
We have 'Protesters' that like to harass the farmers/workers while they are planting/harvesting. I'm sure you know their political affiliations/motivation.
With a HUGE sign saying "Hiring!", with county and state police resources being wasted on keeping the protesters from interfering with the EMPLOYED people working...
And these people with apparently NO JOBS to waste the time standing in front of a "Hiring!" sign... to harass the people you know exactly where they are and what they are doing, calling them rapists, murderers, drug dealers, etc...
I can't call that anything BUT STUPID!
No drug kingpin does back breaking manual labor (the protesters simply refuse to do), and after a 12 to 16 hour day in the fields all any human wants is a shower and to sleep... Not exactly like there is a huge crime syndicate here, no cartels, etc.
Drunk driving and stolen lawn mowers make the front page...
So I see stupid (unemployed) people so self centered it takes police to let the actual employed do their jobs.
I thought of this because it's strawberry season again and I'm seeing "The Flags" and yard signs pop up again...
.........
We got a new convienence store gas station with big truck fuel locally, it also has EV chargers last year. First EV chargers in town in about a 40 mile radius.
You can guess there was a protest about the EV chargers, vandalism, blocking them, boycott of the chain store thst employs locally.
Now, again, I have to ask where these people come from that can sit in a gas engine vehicle, block the chargers for 8 to 12 hours daily, apparently no employment, come from to harass the workers and anyone wanting to use the chargers?
It's not like EV owners block the fuel pumps in a 'Protest'...
To own a relatively new vehicle you have to be employed, and the employed have places to be, work to get done...
This group called themselves I.C.E. meaning "Internal COMBUSTION Engines".
The name implies (or proves) the stupidity because combustion means heat, not cold/ice in engines.
When this gets pointed out they resort to name calling and threatening to fight...
Again, stupid behavior with no basis in reality.
And again, these people complain about taxes, but cost local law enforcement to post an officer to keep the vandalism/trespassing to a minimum.
I see this as counter productive, and therefore STUPID behavior by people that obviously don't work or have anything better to do, propaganda brain-washing works really well on stupid people...
Since the population is low, and you mostly have to work around here, the number of stupid people doing stupid things is lower than cities (population dense areas), but we have our share...
If you have a logical, rational (not rationalizing) example of stupid human behavior, feel free to share...
