I just wasn't sure, but shoulda known, ya bastid.
Though it would suck to see some fave spots on the Cape close down, especially with a line down the block waiting to get in.
Heard an interesting thing on NPR today, missed a bit of it but it dealt with h2b and j1 visas. Cape Cod businesses were the focus, impossible to fill positions with 6 month legal workers (limited placements allowed as Congress changed rules) so some turn to foreign college students, but the season goes to mid October.
Let's face it, everything is built upon the backs of cheap unskilled labor, and much like a house built on a poorly constructed foundation, without them the economy collapses as businesses are forced to close...ironically in a time of plenty!
Some hate those workers, many of whom came legally as visitors but illegally stayed (ain't no wall tall enough to stop that) but I point at business owners as the cause.
In retrospect, I guess it's true that it isn't politics aside, because these Captains of Free Enterprise select our political leaders to do their bidding for them.
