Things Better NOB--They can go fishing!

Four of us ate there yesterday at 6:30. One had chicken kabobs, one had the salmon, two of us had pasta. All quite good and well presented and priced. Very pleasant place to eat, the wall stops most of the road noise. Service was excellent. We all decided we would return.

By using farm workers as a primary example of what undocumented people do Mudgirl, not you, was suggesting just that. I was simply clarifying your comment not arguing with it. If only about 3 percent of the group is engaged in agricultural field work that is not a representative example of what the group does. Using that as an example is an example of the logical fallacy, "Appeal to emotion." Pew has published a detailed report on this topic. It is a little dated but should not have changed much as over the last four years, until now, illegal immigration into the U.S. was declining.

That is one half of the agricultural work force, not one half of the illegal immigrant population. Very big difference and the reference does make it clear. Bottom line, most illegals don't work in agriculture. If one uses the more general figure of 20 million "undocumented" the agricultural workers are less than 3 percent of the total. Hence characterizing this group as heavily employed in agriculture is misleading, to put it mildly. I don't blame the folks for taking advantage of this situation at all. Given their continued poor prospects in Mexico they are behaving in an economica

Did you take a picture of how they were doing this? Hard for me to see how this can be done without being obvious.

How we can overcome vaccine hesitancy

Denmark has dropped the Astra Zeneca vaccine amid reports of blood clots. The good news just keeps rolling in. -
Seeking your recommendations for a new gardener

Also, a service that provides the people so we don't have to deal with the personnel issues directly is definitely an option. Any suggestions along those lines? -

Looks like my inbox was full and I didn't get it. Sorry about that, please resend. PM system is a bit glitchy this morning too. -

And also if you don't mind, recommendations for Mexican attorney in Ajijic who can handle terminations of two part time gardeners. Among other things we want to have only ONE gardener going forward. -

Oh brother. LOL -

And I won't spare you from how I feel about those who are easily stampeded and so unjustifiably self righteous about same. Good luck to you and I hope you won't need it. Let's leave it at that. -

Mainecoons replied to geeser's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
I don't. In the first place this so called "vaccine" is coming from a country with a record of lack of transparency and deceit and indeed caused this whole thing to begin with and made it worse by covering up for months. What will we learn next about it? I can't imagine why anyone would want to take any of these vaccines as the bad news continues to pile up. The Moderna version is linked to fatal thrombosis. The latest from Israel is the Pfizer vaccine appears to make one MORE vulnerable to the South African variant of the disease. The J&J shots have now been suspended in multip -
Exactly the same problem I had with a Calorex heater even with flue dampener. Gas consumption cut by more than half by changing this to on demand. However on demand units do require annual maintenance and that is a cost too.

Is that the latest label? Don't tell me y'all have given up on racist.

Maybe just guilty of pointing out the obvious. As for your comment, no, I just put myself outside of same, quite willingly and happily. Outside of same is a much bigger place.

I guarantee if I had posted anything like that the people of a certain ideological persuasion around here including you would be all over me.
