The price of food is most interesting. I saw what appears to be a woman with small 3 kids small roll up to the supermarket cashier with a full cart. Her bill was something like $175.00. For a cart of food? It appeared to be the normal stuff some woman would buy for the family. I joked to her that she has some hungry kids...She said it'll would be gone in less than a week. The lines were huge and registers were smoking taking in all the cash, and this store is 24 hours open. 1 store.

So it begs the questioning, they're raking in huge amounts of cash for food, so why can't these growers simply pay a livable wage to legitimate citizens?

My senior tractor driver is making $69,090.90 this year. Plus full medical plus, an HSA plus a 401K. How you doing?

Please. There’s two, maybe three levels between the field and the grocery cart. And a lot of it is union labor. In California, threats of strikes at Safeway used to be a regular thing.

Without the union labor, vegetables are 1/3 or 1/2 less at Chinese and Indian grocery stores.
