Basically our people don't matter it's the money that matters. It's disgusting when industry creates artificial scarcity to drive prices up while selling the same product internationally for pennies on the dollar. I bet you I can get a lobster roll in China with Canadian lobster for a fraction of the cost I can here. And it's not because of labour costs. permalink fedilink source parent
