    Being forced to pay competitive wages would be a major benefit to poor/uneducated workers and their families.

    I always love the line, “Americans won’t do X kind of labor.”

    Nope, not for $3/hr. Working in a field for $30/hr? I suspect there would be little difficulty hiring.

      Definitely. Hell, maybe if food started to rot on the vine, we’d get a WWII-style sense of community back. Americans were (mostly) Americans first, political camps second when it was wartime. And saving our nation from (supposed) starvation I think would bring lots and lots together. Something this country damn well needs with how isolated we are as people.
