The comments above explain the situation pretty well. Some people can’t afford the $700 for insurance even when earning enough to cover food and rent. And even then, minimum wage is shit, if it had kept with production it would almost $21 per hour but no, we just need to keep people earning the bare minimum while benefiting off their work.

The cheapest labor is slavery, companies just don’t do it because it is against the law. So they will always pay the minimum possible and then expect that our social services will pick up the slack. Owners pay less percentage tax on their earnings than we do, and we bail them out for their shenanigans in the market. And then buy politicians to make what illegal now, legal soon. Just look at what’s happening with child labor laws. You are angry at the wrong ppl. dude

I would map this address: 138-198 Great Island Rd, Narragansett, RI 02882. The lobster boats are a little past that just before you go over the bridge. You should see signs

Edit: i forgot you can also check out the ri dem website and click on the Rhode island seafood map and it will show you all the local fisherman.

It’s RI. Where are lobsters NOT cheap?

Even good fish mongers or grocery stores max you’ll pay is $15 a lb. Most have them at $10-$12 generally. Watch for sales at $6-$9 a lb.

Galilee docks you’ll find boats selling straight from catch. Those will be cheaper but really only about the best sale price grocers will have.
