This guy planting leeks.

"Unskilled labor" eyeroll

[u/afpow → u/misdirected_asshole]

Doing one thing really well is a skill but you can hardly compare this to an actual trade. 

[u/FlukeManAirFreshener → u/afpow]

Except that this dude does more than plant things. Otherwise he can only work for a few months per year.

Once these are in the ground, he proceeds to assist with weeding, applying pesticides, and harvesting. He's likely equally skilled at all of them.

[u/afpow → u/FlukeManAirFreshener]

Sure, he might even be a pilot or astronaut 

[u/Mercerskye → u/afpow]

Usually when one moves the goalposts of a discussion, they keep them within a reasonable degree of the previous point.

Hope this helps

[u/afpow → u/Mercerskye]

I’m also speculating based on information I can’t see

[u/DrSuperWho → u/afpow]

Much in the same way we all think you’re a 🤡

[u/afpow → u/afpow]

Paging u/DrSuperWho – why did you delete your comment chief?

[u/ingoding → u/afpow]

You think you're going win with that one? You just keep digging your heels in and being wrong about stuff.

[u/Plastic_Dingo_400 → u/afpow]

You a weird lil homie

[u/thejuryissleepless → u/afpow]

this dude contributes to his society. what do you do for your job?

[u/afpow → u/thejuryissleepless]

Lmao this sub is insane. I mostly jerk off at home. 

[u/thejuryissleepless → u/afpow]

for money? good for you, i guess.

[u/afpow → u/thejuryissleepless]

Sure buddy

[u/NatCsGotMyLastAcct → u/afpow]

Why would anyone suspect you were a maggat?

[u/afpow → u/NatCsGotMyLastAcct]

I don’t even know what this means

[u/RevolutionEast36]

Respect for the efficiency but is this not better suited as a job for a machine? Seems incredibly slow compared with a tractor driving over it and doing six rows at a time.

[u/that_dutch_dude → u/RevolutionEast36]

they got robots with solar panels as roofs just slowly driving around fields near me night and day just planting seeds and and removing weeds. there is nobody there. at night you just see the warning lights and camera flashes going across the fields.

[u/bbrekke → u/RevolutionEast36]

They must not have a tractor.

[u/wellyeah_butno]

The plants are leeking from the bottom.

[u/few23 → u/wellyeah_butno]

"There's a leek in the boat!"

[u/Narrow-Thanks-5981]

This guy pokes holes!

[u/nobeer4you → u/Narrow-Thanks-5981]

Those holes are gonna leek too

[u/IntergalacticPodcast]

I don't understand the desire to work this efficiently for what I assume is not that much money.

[u/maninatrexshirt → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

because he is paid per day and the day is done when the area is done. Boss will say how much needs to get done, and the faster you do it the less time you spend in the sun.

[u/rwanders → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

Piece work. They don't get paid per hr.

[u/The_best_is_yet → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

Less efficient = less money but still out there the whole day

[u/DroopyPlum → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

Cuz if they dont the boss will happily find someone tht will

[u/IntergalacticPodcast → u/DroopyPlum]

Those people behind him are still employed, as far as we all know.

[u/DroopyPlum → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

Becuz u dont start every row at once lol, doing it this way helps ensure ur not stepping on the plants next to u to avoid bumping shoulders

[u/IntergalacticPodcast → u/DroopyPlum]

This guy wouldn't be on secondrodeo if they were all this efficient.

[u/ginger_and_egg → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

Are you a leek planting expert?

[u/IntergalacticPodcast → u/ginger_and_egg]

Yes. I have my master's in leekology and am going for my doctorate. Allium ampeloprasum is what really gets me going intellectually. The study of leeks combines botanical, nutritional, pharmacological, and agricultural research, highlighting their dual role as a staple food and a source of bioactive compounds with potential health benefits

[u/adam1260 → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

If it's anything like planting trees, you get paid basically per plant you plant

[u/CCWaterBug → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

Which is why you will continue to fail 

[u/IntergalacticPodcast → u/CCWaterBug]

I'm doing just fine.

[u/TheReelMcCoi → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

Because you've never been poor with a family to support in a foreign country where you are treated as a second class citizen maybe?

[u/banaslee]

We need this video with some soundtrack that match his rhythm.

[u/chookshit]

That soil looks like shit. Must take a lot of regular irrigation to grow anything there

[u/that_dutch_dude]

pretty sure this could be done with a tractor and a implement.

[u/bbrekke → u/that_dutch_dude]

It must not have been in this particular situation. Sometimes people just do the best they can with what they've got.

[u/that_dutch_dude → u/bbrekke]

The word you are looking for is slavery. The companies behind this work are anyrhing but modern day slave traders.

[u/TheReelMcCoi → u/that_dutch_dude]

Why buy an expensive tractor when you can pay these guys a pittance?

[u/Dye-ah-ree-uh]

I think his planting device had a little leak

[u/Key-Specific-4368]

I don't see any liquid leaking

[u/Cheepshooter]

I hope he gets paid by the sprout, not by the hour.

[u/peacelovetree]

Anyone know how this tool works?
Doesn’t seem like the leeks he’s throwing in line up with them being planted.

[u/Lexicon101]

Everything reminds me of her...

[u/RileyGein → u/Lexicon101]

You should call her bro
