I didn't mean morally -- I meant legally they do not have to verify the authenticity of the numbers. And I agree with you about the exploitative wages mostly, but I don't know what to do about it. So we pay real wages to migrant farm workers -- Even if we double subsidies for corn and whatnot, beef now costs 3X at the supermarket. In Texas, 1 in 5 children are hungry every day[1]. How do you do it so that more children aren't made less food safe and you don't cause riots/social unrest from exploding inflation? Sigh.... I wish we could at least all work on the problems instead of all the sloganeering always going on. Not to say you're doing that, it just feels like we can never have any kind of real conversation about what to do anymore -- Maybe it's just that no one is driving the bus anymore. Have a good day!
