Define “peanuts”.

Are you in favor of raising the minimum wage to $25 per hour?

You think that will bring back all those lost American jobs.

Per head of lettuce labor costs for picking and packing is 3 cents per head. The retail price of a head of lettuce is around $2.00. So you could DOUBLE labor costs and the head of lettuce would rise a whopping 3 cents from $2.00 to $2.03 per head retail. Oh wow what a crises call out the national guard!
