If only labor were the only expense.I guess you didn't notice the expensive California land those cutters were walking on? [...]

I did not say that the lettuce head would COST five cents. I said that "if the lettuce cutters were paid $10 more per hour, the lettuce head in store would cost five cents more"

But you seem to claim that this raise in pay would raise cost of land, equipment, water, fertilizer, storing and shipment. Maybe I am dense, but I do not get it. For me $10 divided by 200 gives 5 cents. Please explain!

Finally, the light bulb goes off. Here is your tagline.

(If the lettuce cutters were paid $10 more per hour, the lettuce head in store would cost FIVE CENTS)

Now I guess you understand what I meant in post #638.

Maybe I am dense, but I do not get it.

Hey, we agree. You just left off the word "more" in your tagline. For once I wasn't mocking your socialist tendencies, just your English.
