Guess what: we have a global crisis at hand now. Which means that the neoliberal modus operandi fails without a struggle. It just collapsed overnight.
And if you think otherwise, just answer me this: if tourism cedes to exist, what do wild west neoliberal goverments do (with their current lack of social safety nets) with their 8-10% of their "workforce" having zero capability to get an income?

- dasil003 6y agoWhy are farmers responsible for this? How do you propose they would have paid for more expensive labor without broad collusion to keep prices high?
- baq 6y agoEasy - farmers can’t pay more because they would be outcompeted by those who pay less. Race to the bottom which ends predictably bad but which players in the market can’t do anything about short of illegal price fixing or temporary workers unionizing (like that could happen).
- Sawamara 6y agoIt could happen if there was a political will to have a framework for it to happen. There is not any in many countries, so that's that. Well, we will rethink these frameworks in the coming months, I am sure of that.

- Sawamara 6y agoThanks, I was actually pausing a bit to check that word (in my head, at least), and concluded that I have no idea how it should be written :D Ceases indeed makes more sense!
