why would we pay the pickers thousands of dollars an hour?



You think 10x their current wage is thousands of dollars an hour...so you think their current wage is hundreds of dollars an hour?


No, what I’m calling into question is that 10x wages for employees results in a 10x premium for groceries. Wages are not that high a component of consumer price.

Another tongue in cheek way of responding to GP would be that we should pay JavaScript developers $12.50 an hour with no benefits.
