#Chocolate lovers, be informed.
'In Africa's fields, a plan to pay fair wages for chocolate withers'
#Reuters
"More chocolate than ever is eaten globally, but a flagship programme launched in 2019 that promised a #LivingWage to growers like Kouadio in top cocoa producers #IvoryCoast and #Ghana has left many worse off, data and interviews with growers, traders and industry experts show."

How dependent is modern work on #caffeine?
Our anecdotal experience is that if we paid a #fairWage to workers growing #coffee our #productivity would be 1/4 lower than it is today - not a bad thing in actuality.
But then there's #syntheticCaffeine so maybe workplaces will just move more towards those and things like #energyDrinks. We admit, its been many years since we tried one — do they still taste like urine?

You misread what we wrote. To repeat, immigration to "sensible levels".
And there are plenty of #workingClass people who would be willing to work a #fairWage in those jobs, the problem is they've been cast aside as a policy.
Shooting down anyone who questions open borders as #xenophobic etc is unwise. Would you shout down #BernieSanders who said in his pivotal 2015 interview, "Open-borders!? That's a Koch Brothers proposal"?
Let's remain civil.
