Wow! 180 pesos a day! I wonder if anyone knows what that will buy in a Mexican farm worker's household? A fish taco is around 60 - 90 pesos. I guess eating out isn't an option. I expect there's a lot of rice and beans consumed. And when a worker gets 60 pesos an HOUR in a gringo community, does that make him rich?
I'd like to see some comments.

Janzie, either you didn't read the 8 pages (so far) of "San Quintin Quieting down?" thread, or you're a glutton for punishment. It's not only beat to death, but brings solvency to the Zombie theory.

Look on the bright side; in another 10 years they can look forward to a COLA.
