In Australia most of the work is done by backpackers from Asia and Europe. They are required by law to pay the basic wage which is $18.93 an hour, or $719.20 a week. They love doing this as it gives them a working holiday and they often spend a lot of the money locally. There are some employers caught not making the correct payment.

Who picks your food in the USA?

Depends on who does the shopping, I guess. If I'm shopping, I'm picking what I want.

God loves America very much, so American food is usually picked by Jesus.

Depends on whether commercial trucks or passenger vehicles are most prevalent on the highway that day. No possums where I live.

As Chap suggests, that is thanks to Jesus Gonzalez, Jesus Garcia, Jesus Gutierrez, Jesus La Cruz, and all their friends and relatives including Jesus Rivera who is three years old and whose social security number allows his dad, Jesus Rivera to work in the US.

We don't have slaves anymore. But how different is what we do with Latinos than slavery? They're not getting paid $18/hr. that's for sure.

Well, for starters, they’re getting paid, period.

Then there’s the part about not being able to buy and sell your Latino employees, whip them, or impregnate them against their will legally. And they get to tell you, “Adios, pendejo!” when they decide to move on.

There are a few hundred other key differences, but I just don’t feel like I need to actually tell you those; the short list above should suffice. One thing’s for sure, though - there’s something about watching Fox that is seriously damned up people’s brains, if this sort of question ends up being asked by their viewers.

Have you ever seen the movie Angel City, Canpakes?

This is a good answer to who picks your food in the USA.

"What you're saying doesn't make any sense. The more I pick the more I get paid, right?"

I like that for all your conspiracy mongering about dangerous communists behind every idea you disagree with, you have the most communist-friendly point of view of anyone on the board.
