Well my gardener and crew came yesterday but then not everyone who is
Latino is illegal. The local Mexican takeout was open. Same thing.
The housekeeper I used to have was Latino but born and raised in Los
Angeles. She even had non-latinos on her crew.
The whole issue is very complicated. I heard a caller to the Thom
Hartmann show this morning decrying how everyone wants too much money
even for unskilled jobs anymore. She said she wanted to hire someone to
wash her windows and one contractor quoted $200 and she wound up hiring
a Latino for $50. Thom argued that everyone should be able to have a
good wage. I usually agree with him but he doesn't see the bigger
picture in this case. Washing windows is unskilled labor. It shouldn't
cost $200 unless you have a big mansion and we can assume this lady
probably has a modest house.
On the other end of the scale a couple year's back my dentist informed
he would no longer accept my dental insurance because it didn't pay
enough. I almost asked, "what did you do, buy one of those monster
homes being built down the road?" So I dropped him and he was a good
dentist with good technicians but no way was I going to be taken to the
cleaners for a simple cleaning (my insurance will pay for two of those a
year).
So it's the "screw me, screw you blues" here in Skamerica. I guess I
need to raise all my rates too but I know if I do someone will underbid
me. Maybe we should just erase the blackboard and start all over again.
