racer254 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Whaaaa, the wages at McDonalds should be $15/hour Whaaaaa, the price of crab meat is too high because there are not enough migrant workers. You really can't make this up. This proves the exact point about what happens when you raise wages artificially.

The crab processors/pickers can then pay the prison system for the labor provided to help off set the cost of incarceration funded by tax payers. This way prisoners wouldnt be taking Jobs from Americans cause Americans would not take those jobs anyways as proof by the need for visas. Also if it is a shitty job it may serve as a deterrent to repeat offenders that have the threat of having to work a shitty job while incarcerated. Also some may find a new profession and establish the feeling of self worth and accomplishment! And upon their release they should keep the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with paying a little more for something because the employer had to increase wages. my comments about high prices of crabs have nothing to do with crab meat pickers, in case you were referring to me.

Are they shipped in shackled on boats? What do they do when they are done with the season....ship them back? Is this for the betterment of the town or the people they are hiring. What a disgusting way to define workers. While the town usually receives 500 visas for crab pickers, this year only about 300 were approved.

Yeah... you don't see a conflict with having a prison system that locks people up at a high cost to the tax payer and then forces them to perform labor at slave wages so the prison can profit from said labor?

Wow. paid punishment is perhaps a more friendly term. Many are already doing laundry and working in the kitchens for nothing, so I guess that's not slave labor at all, is it?

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted May 16, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 16, 2018 Many of these dudes never had any structure or even a reason to get up in the AM. To just warehouse them and then release them thinking they will turn it around on their own is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
