More Cheap Brown People, Please!

by Paul • November 23, 2005 • 03:37 PM • Comments: 1

There’s very little time to spare because I have a plane to catch, but one of my roommates left the Post splayed out on the kitchen table this morning, and this headline (Shortage of Immigrant Workers Alarms Growers in West) caught my eye as I walked past. I believe it underscores my previous point about the extent to which the smooth running of the world economy hangs on a ready supply of cheap labor. So while you’re stuffing your face with turkey tomorrow, just remember who picked it for you. Happy thanksgiving to all.
