Probably because they don't have the resources to take the average five
years of loss before a startup business becomes profitable. Most have to eat
in the mean time and have a hard time affording that.

Better yet, why don't the pickers get together, save some money, buy some
land, plant some trees, and start their own orchard? Oh yes, I guess it's
because then they would be the "evil" bosses, who provide jobs for the
poor
"little people".

So why don't the pickers find another occupation or strike for higher
