Due to their declining quality I've been listening less #BBC and been picking up new #podcasts from the other parts of the #world and some are #US based. So I've been listening a lot of discussions about US elections and (from my #Eastern #European perspective) this has been kind of insane experience. Anyway, if you know some good not US focused podacasts in #EN or #GER, please share. I'm generally interested of #human #experience but also #music, #science, #knowledge, #innovation and #politics.

Near Meloland, Imperial Valley. Large scale agriculture. Gang labor, Mexican and white, from the Southwest. Pull, clean, tie and crate carrots for the eastern market for eleven cents per crate of forty-eight bunches. Many can make barely one dollar a day. Heavy oversupply of labor and competition for jobs is keen

The image depicts a group of agricultural workers engaged in manual labor on a farm field. They are seen kneeling and bending over as they work, with many using tools such as hoes or pitchforks to tend the soil. Several wooden crates can be spotted around them, likely used for collecting produce. This black-and-white photograph captures a historical moment where large-scale agriculture was prevalent, particularly in regions like California's Imperial Valley. It is part of Dorothea Lange's collection from Near Meloland and features gang labor comprising both Mexican and white workers from the Southwestern United States. The task shown here involves pulling, cleaning, tying, and crating carrots destined for Eastern markets. The image highlights the challenging conditions faced by these agricultural laborers, with many earning as little as eleven cents per crate of forty-eight bunches of carrots. It reflects on the heavy oversupply of labor in agriculture during that period along with high competition among workers seeking employment opportunities within this sector.

The image depicts a scene from large-scale agriculture in the Imperial Valley, specifically focusing on the processing of carrots for shipment to Eastern markets. Workers are seen manually handling crates filled with freshly harvested carrots, placing them into larger wooden crates or trucks ready for transport. Multiple individuals, both Mexican and white laborers from various parts of the Southwestern United States, work together to sort through the carrots in a field that appears recently plowed or tilled. The ground shows signs of tire tracks likely left by farm machinery used during planting or harvesting activities. The scene is set against an expansive rural backdrop with other agricultural vehicles and equipment scattered around, suggesting this location's role as part of significant farming operations. In the background, there are mountains visible on a clear day, providing context for the geographical setting within California’s Imperial Valley region. This photograph underscores issues related to labor in agriculture at that time period – such as gang labor practices, competition among workers from different backgrounds, and low wages paid per crate of carrots produced by those working under strenuous conditions.

Deadly mosquito virus has Mass. towns urging people to stay in at night

A rare but deadly #disease spread by #mosquitoes has nearly a dozen Massachusetts communities on alert,
prompting some towns to close parks after dusk, restrict outdoor activities and reschedule public events.

Massachusetts health officials this month confirmed the state’s first human case of the #eastern #equine #encephalitis virus this year
— a man in his 80s exposed in Worcester County, west of Boston.

Ten communities are now designated at high or critical risk for the virus, health officials said Saturday.

#Plymouth, about 40 miles south of Boston, closed all public parks and fields from dusk until dawn, when mosquitoes are most active.

Nearby, #Oxford banned all outdoor activities on town property after 6 p.m.

“We have not seen an outbreak of #EEE for four years in Massachusetts,” Robbie Goldstein, the state’s department of public health commissioner, said in a statement.

“We need to use all our available tools to reduce risk and protect our communities. We are asking everyone to do their part.”
