If they're milking their own cows at 4 A.M. and complaining that there's no migrants to do the work, then one has to wonder if it's because they couldn't hire a citizen at the rates they were paying. If they can't hire a citizen at the rates they're paying well...
...it means that citizens are too far above manual labor. Still doesn't necessitate exploitation.
L take, unless sarcasm
all wage slavery is exploitation
It doesn't necessarily mean that at all, that is your own personal opinion, not fact. Pay people a decent livable wage and they will perform your manual labour.
You think they were paying a decent, livable wage?
Obviously not. That's why they can't hire people that aren't at risk and exploitable.
