> I find it strange how we have cell phones and solar power and other these other wonders, and yet arguments always goes straight to slavery anytime the specter of higher labor costs comes up. It's not "strange" at all. Either the crops are cultivated and harvested by machinery, or they're cultivated and harvested by back-breaking human labor. You can either pay those laborers subsistence peasant wages, or you can raise the price of food dramatically (which of course means that other poor people can't afford food). Your choice, dude. > The obvious, immediate way would be to fix the immigration laws and enforcement to allow in as much guest labor as needed. Oh, I see. You'll import people from other countries to work as peasants. Because that's what they're good for, right? Bah. > than what modern science around restorative agriculture can produce. Demonstrate that this can work at scale, without raising the price of food, and without creating or importing a new peasant class. Until then, it's just a fantasy.
