Yup. I used to do it by the bushel, by the row for row crops, or by the hour. Never thought much about whether it was good money. All money was good. Gracias, Jack

I thought I had read I think yesterday on the msn homepage where the fruit is rotting in the fields. Apparently not enough workers to pick the fruit. Easy to figure out. I would think. Back in the 50 when I was young I worked at an apple orchard picking apples. Got $.50 a bushel back then. Had good pickin you made nice money.<br

Suppose all the illegal aliens went home today, and no more came. Which problem the US has would be solved? Less welfare and health care? Maybe. But in the overall scheme of things just how significant is that? More outdoor heavy lifting, dirty hands jobs for Americans who don't want them? The people who want those jobs already have them. If others want them they can get them, despite illegals. So, what precise major problem would be solved... [ More ]

A lot can come back if we buy our own products. Cottage industries can handle an enormous amount of what's now produced in China. But it also requires a willingness to simply not buy if it's not essential, and not manufactured in the US. Thanks for the comment.

The only good thing we have going for us is our agriculture. If we put up a fence around the whole country we might be sitting naked around campfires, but at least we'll have something to eat even if it is just tainted spinach. At least the men won't all be bearded and most women will have smooth legs...we still make the best razor blades in the world.

I'd have to say that minding your own business has been one of the hurdles that, even though I don't always manage, has become much more prominent in my thinking, and has made a tremendous positive difference in my life when I do manage to accomplish it. As for the rest, I don't blow-dry my hair, I quit shopping at walmart, and I don't watch TV, especially if it's made in China. But there is always room for improvement.
