I was a labourer in the fruit industry in canada for a decade. I migrated to BC, picked apples, cherries, tended vinyards etc. 1990s.

The wages were still from 1979.

The locals were often rude. The children of the people who ran the fruit industry were often spoiled, and apathetic & frankly unable to do the work their parents paid people like me to do.

I got squeezed out for TFWs because the farmers could pay them even less, AND charge them rent for living on the land they worked.

"Monday’s [SCOTUS] ruling would be offensive to the rule of law in any scenario, but for Chief Justice John Roberts, in particular, to do so in a case involving the Education Department, in particular, it is little more than ... laughing in the face of Americans and the rule of law."

This headline is ridiculous. The US is currently cracking down on the people who harvest US tomatoes and sending them to a swamp concentration camp with no representation and due process, and publicly hoping people get eaten by alligators.

A Denver dino museum makes a find deep under own parking lot. Like 'a hole in one from the moon.'

I cut this image out of a sale catalogue years ago. Never been able to find its source since (and I have tried a lot!).

If you know where it is from, I'd be thrilled to find out.
