Here in liberal Washington state the minimum wage just went to $9.19 and it’s tough for teens and college kids to find jobs, even part time.
Mandatory $7.25 here in, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan.’ Most entry level people aren’t even worth THAT around here.
Our occasional baby sitter applied for a summer job at a public pool concession stand. Five hundred people applied for the job. It’s terrible. I feel so sorry for today’s kids.
When I was young I could bounce from job to job whenever I wanted to. The employers didn’t care because they could replace me the next day.
Our Governor and both Senators are female Democrats.
My Congressman is a Democrat who won by almost a 50% margin.
My two state House Representatives are both Dems.
My state Senator is a Republican!
Unfortunately, he is also a leading proponent for Gay Marriage and is widely praised for his ability to “work” with Democrats.
My King County Council person is a Democrat.
My only consolation used to be one City Council member who was a passionate Conservative and free enterprise guy.
Unfortunately, two years ago he was attacked by bear while walking his dog, and, tragically, now looks like he walked right out of a zombie movie.
