    In 1947, minimum wage was 40 cents an hour.

    A 25 cent breakfast at a New York City fast food restaurant was fresh juice, eggs, pan cakes, or chipped beef on toast.

    Know any place near you that offers a good $3.00 breakfast?

        Nah, that’s an easy one. Find someone who would spit in your mouth for free. Then just give them $3 afterwards.

          no no no, that’s not allowed, it’s not paying if they do it for free. that’s not commerce, that’s just kink.

      To be fair, some states have a minimum wage twice the federal, so the price should be like $7. Still probably very few places.

    Thank God Trump is addressing this by coating those horse statues in DC with 23.75 karat gold. That should fix things right up, for sure.

    I had to tell my staff what their comp increases were. Previous three years it was 0. This year, everyone expected a correction. Nope 2%, 2.5 if you got an excellent rating.

    The company hit 180% of earnings target.

      It turns out we misheard them. They’re looking to create Jobs, as in the mythological figure who was tortured by a higher power for no real reason but remained slavishly loyal.
