$17/hr ain’t what it used to be—and doesn’t go far in CA.

Garbage men get paid more because it is gross work, and getting to Micky D’s by 4:15 am deserves some sort of premium.

Return the 40 million illegals in the country now and such entry-level work will be paid better—or disappear.

I dunno. Now a single guy drives the garbage truck and the picking up/emptying of containers is done by a robotic arm.

Wait a minute. Where are all those 40 million illegals who were supposed to do the work Americans wouldn’t do? Are they all on the dole, fat and happy?
