[/quote] I remember being a child in the 80s and seeing on the news about how Ronald Reagan wanted to turn us into a "service economy." I knew as a child that this was not a feasible way to have an economy when nobody is actually producing anything. I thought to myself, "They'll figure it out, the old man won't be in office much longer anyway." I don't know how I knew at such a young age, but I sure was naive enough to believe we "adults in the room" in government who would set us back from a stray path of some sort time morons who take control. By the recession of the early 90s I had lost that naïveté. [/quote] Part of the Marxist agenda. Remember all those family farms going bankrupt. All staged agenda [/quote]

I made $11/hr back in 1992 which I considered a low wage. Minimum wage in 1992 was $5.50. Federally now it’s $7.50/hr. Some states have higher. , Florida being $10/hr and California being$13/hr
Prices of things since 1992 have gone up 300-700% but the Federal minimum wage has only gone up 100%. Gas, for example, has gone up 400%. Toyota pickup roughly up 500%. Rent where I used to live in 1992 has gone up 600%. Food I’m paying probably 300% more
Based on my calculations with cost of living , the min wage should be, at least, $25/hr to be able to pay your bills
