... Doubling the wages of the lettuce picker wouldn't come close to doubling the cost of lettuce. It may add a few pennies per head, but that's it. That's based on an incorrect assumption. I would expect a teacher to stumble here. You did. right Proud of that? right You're already dead. Can't afford the funeral? |

Can't afford the funeral? You ever watched them pick and pack lettuce? No. Local lettuce here is usually of such small quantity that families (on farms) pick it themselves. However, I *have* watched squash, strawberries, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and other "ground crops" being harvested. Tough work. |

They ride a machine and cut the head off and toss it on a conveyer belt up to a processing stand. Time spent per head is minimal. |

I love it when your 'argument' turns to a personal attack. |
