I suspect the reason for not cracking down on companies hiring illegal aliens is that if they do, and companies are forced to pay Americans American wages, prices will rise by a lot creating unhappiness among the people with whomever is the current political regime. If they can even get Americans to lower themselves to picking crops and shingling roofs.

In 1968-69 I worked at an evergreen nursery. Every summer a group of migrants came to the nursery and worked through the summer and then went back to Mexico for the winter. The nursery actually had housing for them.

Me too, we had interest rates around that. There seems to be a difference now though. Young people seem unable to afford to buy a house.  But my husband and I could when we were young, even with those interest rates. Is it that the prices are higher than they were back then (adjusted)?  Is it that the young people aren’t earning as much?  Is that because fewer women worked back then? (Dumping women into the workforce created more supply and lowered salaries and wages?)  Or is it because they aren’t marrying and are trying to buy homes by themselves?

There’s a different feel this time around.

Well cocoa powder and coffee, that’s considered mocha, I think. Nothing wrong with that.

what part of "too raunchy to post" was not understood?


Are you a Turtle?

I like my coffee line my women also. Hot and BLACK.
