No, the damned rub is in how much our products would cost if the jobs

Do we really know how much a head of lettuce would cost if the farm
workers got
better wages? Does anyone know how much of the cost of various food items
goes
to those workers - and how much goes to the retailer, wholesaler,
transportation, processing, etc.?

Might be surprising.

Not that I want to see anyone suffering...

However, I doubt you'd find the workforce needed to do the jobs even
*with*
a higher payscale... Physical labor is an art these days.

Which explains a lot of modern society's problems...

Yep. You got it.
