Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Mmm, can't wait to pay $15 for produce. Fucking idiot Americans voting against their own interests.
Didn't some morons vote for trump literally because of the egg prices?
Anyone I know who voted for trump for "economic reasons" are people I know to have the weakest grasp on what economic factors determine the price of eggs.
I just spent $5 on a carton of eggs. Thanks Obama, for bird flu
I think the real issue is we're using undocumented immigrants to do these jobs. They don't get the same protections that legal workers get.
That may be an underlying issue but when the baby is incessantly screaming and crying, it doesn’t help to throw boiling water on it
Absolutely, but we are well past people using logic and reason. We wouldn't be in this situation in the first place, and we could have spent time actually solving legal immigration (among many other things) instead of years of focus on her emails and all the nonsense of 2016-2020.
Start your "vistory" garden now.
Let me start to say that I'm on our side (probably), but are you implying that you want those workers to be underpaid and have no worker rights so your produce price stays low?
This has always been a complex dynamic.
For example, is it wrong for me to buy Tuna tinned in South East Asia? The people working there have few rights and are paid a pittance for their work. That said, it's a highly sought after job because the other jobs available in the area are far worse.
Really we're talking about labor arbitrage. Whether or not the labor actually happens locally or in a foreign jurisdiction, laborers residing in a poorer jurisdiction are selling their labor to people in a wealthier one.
I think the answer to whether or not it's "ok" is firstly a personal one, (maybe I'm ok with it while others aren't), but also dependent on the degree of difference.
It might be ok to buy tinned Tuna from a company that invests in foreign communities and pays employees a living wage with good terms, but probably not ok to buy tinned Tuna from a company that chains employees to machines for 16 hours a day before allowing them to return to their cage-box.
What I'm saying is, I'm ok with foreign workers being paid less provided that it's not exploitative, which is subjective.
