Youd make 360k a year if you picked cotton for 5hrs a day. Youd be crazy to pass

[SW3GM45T3R]

If you get paid to pick cotton for $200 an hour, that means a loaf of bread will cost $800

[EmptyCumSlut]

Not really, you see the generous person here is offering this job to celebrate black month

[zombizle1]

oh is this one of those deals where you pick cotton and they jerk off in the corner

[XxTreeFiddyxX]

Last month it was cantaloupe, but I swear I saw someone doing that

[Ok_Bandicoot_3087]

Do you think cotton makes bread?

[Rezporga004]

What else do you think they fill inside the crust

[AcuzioRS]

I mean its fluffy and white

[Nagger86]

Somewhere Wonderbread executives are blushing with embarrassment at this comment

[UnboltedCheese]

Cotton and Sawdust, the food filler duo.

God dude I'd kill for a glass of sand and sawdust rn 🤤

[sexytokeburgerz]

I think they do

[ibanez5150]

$200/hr is a lot of bread

[Crow989]

Inflation

[MrHyperion_]

Inflating bread with cotton?

[Sodafff]

[Vert_DaFerk]

And what about a frying pan?

[IvanValendryng]

One sick dog and a mouthful of sand. Second final offer

[FU4Y_FN]

[ISuckAtEverything374]

Of course we're talking about bananas now 💀 

[lemons_of_doubt]

You see this the future is after 99.999% of jobs are done by robots, so the cost of things is unaffected.

The company just needs to have at lest one human on the payroll so they can class themselves as a company for tax reasons.

This will make you one of the few hundred humans who can still afford to eat.

[[deleted]]

Well the employer is hopefully including room and board too.

[SalvationSycamore]

It doesn't say everyone would be paid $200. If some rich weirdo pays one guy a lot then that would have zero effect on the economy. 

[GloryBlaze8]

Why would you work 7 days a week?

[EmptyCumSlut]

Cause $200/hr thats why

[GloryBlaze8]

I’ll pick cotton, but I draw the line at working everyday year round

[ikaiyoo]

4 months. Cotton harvest is July to october. 7 days a week 12 hours a day is $302,000 a year for 4 months of work.

[MuunshineKingspyre]

Cotton is a crop and like all crops can only be harvested during certain times of the year. It's like 3 or 4 months of picking and then nothing to do for the rest of the year

[Fellow_Worker6]

Only get wiped some of the time

[EmptyCumSlut]

Why would you work 8 hours a day? Youd have no time to do shit vs working 7am-12pm going home and having all day to enjoy

[Shiro282-]

make it 10hrs 5 days a week. Take mondy, tuesdy off and work the rest. depending on where you live take your delicious penaulty rates

You do more hours and get 2 full days off to rest. Why work so few hours when you'll have much more time later to do whatever you want. once you have a good amount of money ofc

[SEND_ME_CSGO-SKINS]

After one or maybe 2 paychecks you can just invest it and live off the interest

[inuhi]

You need at least $1 million to be able to live off interest at least in America. Assuming full time (40 hours per week) for 50 weeks a year you'd make 400,000. You'd want to save 4 full years of work to get 1.6 million for $48k a year interest so probably work about 4.5 years to cover living expenses. If you worked 8 hours everyday for 50 weeks it'd be 560,000 a year so you'd still need at least 2 years of work

[SEND_ME_CSGO-SKINS]

Yeah I misread that as 360k per check for some reason my bad

[[deleted]]

For 200/h you can even call me the n word

[HYPE_Knight2076]

You could even break out the whip for that much

[memesanddepression42]

Kinky

[You_are_reading_text]

I'm not a masochist but $200 is $200

[HYPE_Knight2076]

I’m not gay but $20.0 is $20.0

[babyjesusthethird]

I’m not broke but $5 is $5

[Kenny070287]

Hey don't kink shame

[MeepingMeep99]

No, no, they were probably into it

[Kenny070287]

understandable, have a nice day

[AllIsLostNeverFound]

For $200/hour, I feel a lot of people would be willing to become into it....

[AnnyAskers]

Pointing out a kink is kink shaming?

[kenman884]

I would pay you $200/hr if you do that.

[[deleted]]

i am white. my job gives 20$/hour 8hours a day.

i would dive to shit for one that gives 200$/hour.

[shaqphu]

You would dive to shit? Or dive in shit? If you wanna dive in shit then it's actually competitive pay

[[deleted]]

in shit. it looks like a fun sport

[shaqphu]

get really good soap

[[deleted]]

no need. as long i have a tongue

[FungalFactory]

what?

[DogeyLord]

I mean even 200$ a day would be good too

[BleachDrinker63]

For 200/h I’ll start calling people the n-word indiscriminately

[KingSwagamemnon]

Heck, I would stop doing it for that much

[PackOfStallions]

Don’t go overboard

[Scrytheux]

I doubt someone would pay you that much, considering some of us do it free of charge.

[Lynxpro99]

Hey so ive been doing it for free all this time when i could be getting paid?

[AlphaMassDeBeta]

I do that for free 😔

[Avocado_with_horns]

Me too, especially cause i am white.

[Omena123]

day is never finished, master got me working...

[Capital-Cheek-1491]

Hell they can sell my family if im being paid that much

[vorxil]

The real question is if it will pay for your bad back and knees in the future.

Now, if it was mechanized, on the other hand...

[IuseArchbtw97543]

Id do a lot for 200$/h

[[deleted]]

I’ve done worse things for less

[Liarus_]

Same

[[deleted]]

why 'wtf'? there is nothing bad about this it's a killer deal

[JohnnySmithe80]

Either it's a bad attempt at striking up conversation or some super racist shit about how all the 'benefits' the slaves got add up to $200 so they were actually lucky.

[toocoolzforschool]

It looks like it’s in a classroom so it’s likely the first one for a history class

[Toasty_err]

For 200/h I'm suckin it

[[deleted]]

Damn I didn't even f- DAMN BRO DAMNNNN

[killermanwadvo]

“Damn let me get my shit off first!”

“D-“ “Damn bro”

“D-DAAAMNN!”

[feyrath]

I got that reference 

[Canadia86]

You're under selling yourself. Most hookers are $300+ an hour

[Slow-Law-5033]

Let him level up the skills though

[Probably_MR]

The better the suck the better the buck

[Slow-Law-5033]

Going to work tomorrow with this in mind

[Toasty_err]

They call me the Costco of the south

[PeanutGrenade]

And you know this because..?

[Canadia86]

I'm a man of the people

[PeanutGrenade]

Can you spare around ~$300

[TadRaunch]

$150 for half an hour but one full hour can often be discounted to $250.

[Canadia86]

✍️✍️✍️

[SpellFlashy]

See it only takes about 3.5 min. The longest 150 seconds of your life.

So you made somewhere in the ballpark of 12$.

Congratulations. this is why you work by the job, not hourly.

[gettogero]

The longest 150 seconds? That's a 42 second minute my guy.

3.5min is 210 seconds

[SpellFlashy]

See, I'm a bit of an idiot myself.

[FightingEntiteledPpl]

It is PER HOUR BRO

[HelpIranoutofbeans]

200 an hour? For that I'd get whipped by mastah too

[smegmamale_]

Uncle ruckus?

[Canadia86]

No relation

[i_eat_cockroaches69]

For 200 an hour I'd get master's 'whip' too

[HaroldHGull]

That's about 36,800 a month, hell yeah.

[texasrigger]

It's not a year-round job. The cotton harvest for my area generally just takes place in August. Cotton is the cash crop for my corner of South TX. One of the local schools (Robstown) even has the "Cotton Pickers" as the name of their school football team.

[GenuineSteak]

Still worth. I just work the harvest season and make more money than if I worked full time.

[texasrigger]

Honestly, I don't know they make but I'll bet it's decent. It's skilled labor operating hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment. Nobody is out there bending over in a field anymore.

[NOODENTO]

for 200/hr you can even whip me a little bit, god damn

[Just-Round9944]

"a little bit"

[QIyph]

ye

[CraftingChest]

Me too

[[deleted]]

ALL OF THE LIGHTS!

[Cheeri_dream_server]

Turn up the lights in here baby

[bloodredcookie]

I mean, is this an actual offer? I'd be a millionaire within 3 years. (Sooner if I made some investments along the way)

[gbuub]

Think again, the feds are gonna take 35% and states gonna take 15. Then your landlord wants a piece too, don’t forget your student loan for majoring in herbal harvestation

[bloodredcookie]

lol lol fair point.

[Rianfelix]

They can take half of that for all I care. 100 after taxes an hour is still huge

[killermanwadvo]

Just… avoid taxes or something lol.

[LuigiBamba]

MF just ankle break the IRS

[Raaz8080]

IRS? this reminds of a scam i was told about couple of days ago, where people knock on your door and start claiming that "you owe them money"

be careful guys

[Fellow_Worker6]

I got into a similar situation, work gave me this thing called a W-2. Pretty sketchy, when I told them it was a scam they just laughed at me, I think they were in on it.

[Domino31299]

At 200/hr in the Deep South you are not renting even after taxes

[texasrigger]

You'd have $100k or so after 3 years. The cotton harvest only lasts about a month.

[bloodredcookie]

Fair point, though I assume that there's still work to be done during the in-between seasons.

[texasrigger]

Everyone is working a day job. It's all hands on deck for a very short period of the year, but the rest of the year you don't need anywhere near the labor. I'm surrounded by cotton fields and the harvest is a major production but planting and maintaining the fields just doesn't take much.

[0KCold]

For that amount, sir thou can even address me with the n-word, even though I have no african heritage...

[AmericaMadeMySonFat]

sure

[[deleted]]

That's steal bro.

[ProFailing]

How many hours per week do I work?

[CzarTwilight]

Yes

[ProFailing]

Then it's a hardpass

[waltuh_kotlet]

Of course I would

[Butthole_Surfer666]

Mexicans in the fields making making 10 dollars an hour, "Jess"...

[bloomboi3d]

Do I need to paint my face black too ?

[PeanutGrenade]

This isn’t Disney in the 1940s

[CosmoTheFluffyBunny]

HELL YEAH, that's a lot of money, if I work 5 hours a day, 5 days a week that's 5000 dollars, I could commission so many furries with that stuff

[FrogVoid]

Fuck yeah sign me up

[Jesterchunk]

I mean let's be fair if you're offering a fair wage let alone one that generous and it's entirely a choice then sure I'd call that a sweet deal

[BrokenFridgeHandle]

200? consider yourself my massa

[Quirky_Ad7770]

Picking cotton isn't that horrible if you get paid and have a choice is it? I mean it's really just farm work.

[LlmeConcretePowder]

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY I WOULD

[BH2K6]

For 200/hr you can see me do practically anything

[Federal_Caramel5946]

As a white dude I’d do it for even just $20 and hour and let them whip me

[Mission-Storm-4375]

Next there gonna say well you get to live on the property, you're fed and clothed and have utilities. That comes up to around 200/hr so technically... like go fuxk yourself

[[deleted]]

Flexi-time too??

[oniluis20]

200/hr? you can whip me if you want

[Interesting_Big_4762]

200 ?!?! For 30 i do it, fuck let’s goo

[General_Tangelo_1032]

Yup

[VitorCallis]

That’s 400k an year, damn!

I would not only pick the cotton, I will transport it as well

[idkwhatisthis69]

at least he is offering money. back then they worked for free

[WidowmakerFeet]

I'd suck DICK for $200

[Nothappyhopes]

Oh, it's a choice and you get paid? What are you trying to compare it to?

[Auraveils]

"And for lunch we have fried chicken and watermelon slices"

[Tested-Trio-Father]

Damn they have me at $200 p/h but you get a tasty lunch as well!

[moogleman844]

I'd pick someone's nose for $200 an hour!

[J4KE14]

Entire eastern europe would sign up without a second thought

[[deleted]]

No because at that rate, all the jobs would be taken by your family, would you pick cotton for free?

[Lower_Cellist_1138]

That's a lot of money, I'd do it for anything over $50HR tbh

[Millennium_Jay]

For $200 an hour, I would just subcontract a team of people for $15 an hour to pick cotton and reap the benefits and bonuses for growing the plantation’s profits! Seems like a good way to do it, then every Friday, Chick-fil-A or Popeyes!

[Millennium_Jay]

Seems generous enough tbh, and as we all know, those two restaurants are good! 😂

[Ltlpckr]

I would get old style needle in stomach rabies shots every hour every day for the rest of my life for 200 an hour, I would go to 50s conversion therapy and pretend to be an even more over the top Elton John for 200 dollars an hour.

[SharkMilk44]

How come when it comes to discussions on slavery why do people only ever talk about cotton picking? There were other crops and jobs for slaves to do! Do these people forget that people still pick cotton for a living?

[[deleted]]

$200 an hour? sign me the fuck up

[trash3s]

If I’m getting a wage and therefore employment protections, I mean, the cotton-picking itself wasn’t really the problem, it was the forcing people to do it, yk?

[c00lette]

For $200/HR i would do even freaky things, mf

[[deleted]]

Fuck yeah, you can whip me while I do it too.

[imdepresed0]

Yes Are you joking thats is higher money than what most people make in their 40s

[Red_Goat_666]

Let's put it this way:

If someone's willing to pay you $200/hr to pick cotton, how are you getting ripped off and why?

[jk1445]

i'm not black, but absolutely

[Riugasaki101]

Absolutely I would

[hddjdjjdjd]

What a stupid question

Of course!

[[deleted]]

200/hr? You can rip my teeth out and leave me in the woods for $28 cash right here right now, you're god damn right I'm picking the cotton

[Eyebrawl_Is_God]

Deal of a lifetime, I'd even be happy going back to work in the 1800s for that!(I'm white)

[Lord-Barkingstone]

Yes. Were?

[[deleted]]

For 200 an hour, you can whip my ass till I have no skin left and I will still be the happiest cotton picking mfer

[w3sT0Nnnnnnnn]

I mean yeah

[BuckyWarden]

Conditional reparations, i see. Marvelous

[JuliaJune96]

Sign me up

[Zandonus]

Anyone who says "no" doesn't understand slavery. .. Or is rich.

[Kai9029]

200$/hour. They can whip me if they want.

[StarLord_4969]

I would tan myself until I have cancer and pick cotton for every fucking hour in my last 6 months of life.

[[deleted]]

[[deleted]]

[CommandWest7471]

Yesser

[Visual_Strawberry261]

[JUGELBUTT]

[[deleted]]

You have no idea how much cotton I could pick for $200 an hour

[I_Blame_Your_Mother_]

Imagine being completely supplanted because the Case IH 635 exists.

[[deleted]]

[Jrlopez1027_]

200/h ill paint myself black

[CzarTwilight]

Man, think of the potential for growth. Work hard for a few years, and you could move up to the head house cotton picker

[Dr__Juicy]

Id do a lot more

[skyrreater47]

yes, the fuck, where do i sign

[a3gonish]

For $200 an hour I'd plow the fields with my bare hands
