Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @Garden_Revolt Most lucid, highly illuminating. Thank you, Ben. I worked with Oregon's PCUN back in the 90's. An eye-opener. Life expectancy for US farm laborers is 30 years lower than that of the average American, hasn't risen since 1960, and may be under new pressure. 30 years for chrissakes.Quoted by@Garden_Revolt Most lucid, highly illuminating.
