You realize they could quadruple the pay of pickers and the cost of an apple you pay would go up a few cents if that. That’s because a picker picks 200 to 300 per hour. So if he is paid $10/hr then that equates to 3 cents an apple. At $40/hr that is 12 cents per apple. $40/hr was a high figure for comparison . But a decent wage of $15 to $20 would only raise the price 5 cents. The average apple costs 75 cents, so now 80cents. A small price to pay for sovereignty.

End all H visas. Stop the fear and madness .

No I don'ty know that, and I doubt that you know that either

NBut I will be more than willing to see what you provide as proof that confirms you claim.

For if that were truly the case, I see no reason why farmers would not to just that.

IU doubt very seriously that farmers are these evil conviving perdators that you seem determined to frame them as being.

Perhasp you also blame capitalism as being the real problem here, as well?

At this point, you seem to be just engaging in throwing stuff against the walll, and trying to see what sticks, and then not expecting pushback for the claims you make.

These problems are creeping up because we have a political party that infnores the the realities of econnomics, anmd istead blames capitalism as the problem. That capitalism cheats people, picks winnders & losers, while making voctims out of racial minorities or other differences betwenn peoples that are the make up of this poulation. For you can't see the realities, even when they are pointed out

Capitalism worked great in this country , until this political party vecame powerful, nd then became corrupted, and to a degree, it has afgfected both pormient political parties, as they both creates laws & obsructions that impeds the capitalism that existed whicgh raised the boats of everyone, not just select groups / Politics is the problem, and its desire to obtain or increase tits personal powers & wealth.
