Of course rich folks buy their way out, dumping their share of the work on the poor, who already have to work a hell of a lot harder just to get by. Shira’s town was impoverished to begin with, and the fact that the plants need the entire day of sunlight to grow makes the hours especially difficult. <br /> <br />Since the country is so rich, none of Israel’s citizens are lacking anything… except sleep. And rest assured that the upper classes are richer than they had ever dreamed possible.c2t2https://www.blogger.com/profile/13153983649531881711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6545302900560676544.post-16442658610328805182010-03-23T09:29:13.134-07:002010-03-23T09:29:13.134-07:00Why would the Israeli people impoverish themselves...Why would the Israeli people impoverish themselves when they can just get migrant workers from elsewhere? Also, if the food is produced so cheaply I would expect more waste.<br /><br />I like the writing and the ideas that you are expressing but I don't understand why a small country like Israel would have such hardship when there is so much bounty post formula. <br /><br />Any insight you give me will be welcome.tenacitushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07448454644285005675noreply@blogger.com
