Well, that's capitalism for ya. Only the big companies benefit, whereas the ordinary Joe Soap gets screwed grumble

Flying in crazy eastern europeans?
Well, at least the disabled are getting jobs.

Although, personally, I would have flown in eastern european epileptics.
Tie a bunch around the tree, so when they have a seizure all the fruit just falls down into baskets.

...Someone probably had my idea first. Bet it was those nut farms.
"You nuts take our epileptics?! Us fruits take your nuts!"
