It’s every man for himself said the elephant as he danced among the grasshoppers. When I first started working minimum wage was $1.25 but then, a candy bar was a nickel and gold was $32/oz… The money is worth less than a tenth what it was back then but minimum wage is no where near $12.50. Most people in this country are significantly poorer than the previous generation was. Myself? I’m doing OK but I’m not delusional enough to think that a kid today can work his way through college or support a family with a single income.
