@imaccuish YES, also use credit unions, raise awareness of exploitation of labor.

[ILoveUsAinAllway]

The machinery of capitalism is oiled with the blood of the workers.

[RoonGang09]

This is why they hate us, because we have the people with brains like Hedges on our side.

[SulliedMind]

We should devide this country. corprate people and none. Send the None corprate to half the country and the corprate to the other half. Build a huge wall so we can keep the none corpate "safe" and the corprate "safe". Each side would goervn or lack of as they wish. But NO INTERMINGLING. Whitch would u choose?

@tanisb I thought we were talking about Immokalee FL where Big Sugar is the worst. Read about it or see videos. Use keywords: Florida farm workers slavery 2011 and also Big Sugar - there is a lot of information. They try to keep reporters off the farms so they can't report on the conditions there.

@tanisb It's not only about strawberries. Not just farms. Reetail stores, such as the GAP Inc and others hire only for 30 hours so they don't have to pay benefits. My son worked for barely above minimum wage for years without raises even though he was a one of the highest sellers. Same story selling cell phones. Same story at Starbucks. And they gave him his next week's schedule on Thursday which was always different so he couldn't get another job with a specific schedule.

@theonlysuz It is not the government's job to tinker with wages and prices--it creates inefficiencies.That's how we get collapses that put people out of work. We're at 9% unemployment, and it doesn't include people who left the job market. A record number of families on food stamps.A trillion dollars wasted on stimulus that brought no job growth, just more debt, and all we can talk about is giving benefits to part time workers so we can eat strawberries out of season? C'mon!

@theonlysuz Might have been the best job I ever had. You could smell the ozone coming out of the earth after irrigation or rainfall. It was intoxicating. I picked vegetables on a small NJ farm...family-owned, not BIG AG...it was only for a year or so until I could save up enough to pay for college. I played guitar in a rock and roll band at night. I suppose I could have supported a family on the pay if I had one at the time. No benefits.
