2. I have heard audio of it.
He not only said that Americans wouldn't pick lettuce for $50 bucks an hour, he says that they "couldn't" last an entire season going that kind of work, presumably at any price. Out of touch with the wage structure of working people and doesn't think Americans can handle hard work.

3. This is post in the video forum
Youtube is blocked at my job. I assume it's a tape of that incident.

9. McOut-Of-Touch needs to be featured in a video talking about lettuce picking.
