So you're saying we need to bring back more illegal aliens to pick tomatoes for $20 a day? We've been over this.The US tomato market is so bad that while fields of ripe tomatoes are being plowed under in Florida because the growers can't find farmworkers to harvest them, my son bought near here a package of cherry tomatoes on the vine that were grown in Canada. Canada has a famously short growing season -- the best agricultural climate is north of Lake Erie, so it's like Michigan's climate at best. The Canadians grow them in greenhouses year-round under closely-controlled temperature, watering schedule/humidity, and hours of "sun"-light. The crop, once harvested, is kept at a stable temperature throughout the storage and delivery cycles, thus preserving its ripeness and extending shelf life.
US tomatoes, where they can be harvested, have the advantage of a short delivery time, effectively eliminating the need for controlled storage. The current problem is finding the farmworkers.
What is even worse for American growers is that Mexican growers use much the same growing systems as the Canadian growers do -- but for different reasons. The Mexican climate favors plants that can thrive in hot and dry climate in some parts of the country, and hot and wet climate in other parts. Greenhouse tomatoes don't care what the climate is outdoors.
Are you pretending low income people aren't far less likely to care for their properties than others?I did not know that!
WHAT?! Blasphemy. They carried Linda Ronstadt in the early days... just ask them. Frey and Henley trying to out-douche each other was masterful.
Toys is actually my favorite song from them. They tried killing themselves and we can blame R.U.N. DMC for resuscitating them.
Probably this. It's not like she was doing anything good for the city anyway. She just as well pull up a beach chair and lick ice cream cones on the beach with *President* Biden.Interesting place to go hang out during the clean up operation of the city you ran

Yeah, we fully expect the cost of produce to go up. Seems worthwhile if you're going to stop working Mexicans like slaves.
Looks like SoFi Stadium the week before and the week after the Super Bowl.
Or San Francisco the week before or after the Chinese leader comes to town.Looks like SoFi Stadium the week before and the week after the Super Bowl.
