Yup -- plus, Modest Proposal was anything but modest. Meanwhile, this is just explaining how to exploit workers in a third world country. Hell, it's also trying to justify illegal immigration by saying only those hungry immigrants will deign to work the fields.

On the other hand, it's written by a Leftist, University Prof, from Hawaii, which makes me think xe's entirely serious.

I'm getting real tired of giving these "parodies" and "satires" the benefit of the doubt.
Oh, I'm not doing that. I'm saying that this is way too brazen to be a parody of anything.
