So we should bring in the brightest of the bright to pick the crops?? How stupid would that be??

No, they'll help achieve viable alternatives and then we won't be demanding that people do back braking, demeaning and dehumanizing labor for less than subsistance wages so that we can eat a cheap head of lettuce.  

Farms Fund Robots to Replace Migrant Fruit Pickers

The longer we run our economy on exploiting other human beings the more it drags us down.  The Romans, Americans of the Confederacy and many others didn't learn that lesson.

How stupid is that?  All you have to do is look at history to see that this economic model is destructive and those thus destroyed deserved their fate.

Funny how when I was 18 I was trying to get some of that back breaking, demeaning and dehumanizing labor for less than subsistance wages so you could have a cheap apple, pear or peach. It may be dehumanizing to you but not to the person doing the work.

The bill is dead and will never be brought up again. The market will determine who does the labor. Which is better than the gummit.
