Why do they import Thai workers?

because jews are Capitalist exploiter

[eran388]

@Aussiemoo because it is cost effective, and they do a good job.

the water infrastructure to cost ratio is a problem but very soon just being able to grow food to 93 percent of national need will be the greatest asset of all.
