No, but slavery is also illegal in Sudan and Saudi Arabia and it seems to make no difference.

I grow as much food as possible in my back yard so that I can pay a little more for other things. One would be meat born, raised, slaughtered, and packaged in my county. The other is seafood caught and packaged in the USA.

Hope not but wouldn’t be too surprised. He’s on the board of the public universities in Cali and several of them have turned into nazi- infested cesspools — and thus far at least we haven’t heard of him or the good governor out there cleaning the scum out.

Now that AP has exposed this atrocity, I’m certain Al Sharpton will demand justice for the victims as soon as he can determine who to shake down. Right after he finishes his smoked paprika roasted salmon on wilted spinach gourmet dinner at Barry’s house.

Cow-orker just came back from a two-week tuna-fishing trip of SoCal.

Yeah, well once I heard of a woman who went on an overnight fishing trip with a boat full of men. She came back with a red snapper.

Here in the Missouri Ozarks, a family can just about live off the land. Fish are available year round. Turkey, deer, other small game. Pheasants to the north of us. Low taxes.
Need firewood ?

I lived next to a tuna fisherman in El Cajon (”So. CA’s heat-sink”).
He knew we had two cats (the girlfriend’s) and was nice enough to throw a big chunk of a tuna our way. I spent the best part of a day butchering and packing tuna into tupperware for freezing.
The felines did that twining around my legs-thing, yelling at me to hurry up, demanding tidbits ... I was a slave to cats.

Everything is a racket of the elites.

Sometimes the minions are let in directly to cash in.

Star-Kist and Chicken of the Sea are Kalifornia companies - Remember the story on Pelosi and the American Samoa exemption ???

It’s all a racket !

Remember US Marine General Smedley Butler - even war is a racket !

Thanks for givin’ me some laughs...

I keep talkin’ about new world order -

they’ve been trading in gold, opium and slaves for centuries and they’re still at it.

In both legal and illegal marketplaces.

The media gives us enough info to make us angry but never enough to create public pressure on connected political or corporate cronies or bankers that are making the pile of money. They never give the names and addresses of those in the chain of money from these operations. They need to name names even if they have (and they typically do) political connections.

Don’t tell Tim Cook, for goodness sake. It might shake up his organization.

Your seafood may come from slaves.

***
Not my seafood; I refuse to buy any fish that is not labeled “US” and “wild caught”.

Lol! The only food I won’t get from our native land (two deer still in the freezer) is fish. I’m in the Ohio Valley. There’s no way I’m eating anything out of that river!

If the factory global farmers and food processors like Monsanto have their way with us, we will have an unfree market and opaque labeling without GMO or country of origin. The only information on the label will be Corn or fish from global sources.

My own view is I want to know what is in my food and where it originates. Too many in Congress are in the bag. Let the free market decide if it wants to buy GMO or Chinese fish.
