My kid would like to get a minimum wage job. The problem is that there
aren't any available in our area.

Your county government has some minimum wage jobs available. Took me all
of 30 seconds to find a bunch. Here's one:

Hourly Salary for the Library Page: $7.84.

Of course, working in a library requires some intelligence. Maybe your
kid got some from your wife's genes.

Have you ever thought that maybe there is logistical problems with his
kid?

Only a "progressive" would find something negative with folks getting
jobs. Funny how these hypocrites work. They don't remember voting for
Clinton who said "we don't care if the whole country is making potato
chips for minimum wage, as long as they have jobs". But hypocricy is the
basis of the democratic party. That and catering to the big unions while
sucking the blood out or the middle class to pay for it...

You're foching crazy, Ingersoll. Your post proves beyond any doubt that
you simply are clueless.

Oh, and there are minimum wage jobs available in Montgomery County,
Maryland, where Bertie lives. I found some on-line in 30 seconds.

Let's see some examples of how the government or unions are sucking on
your financial blood.

Put up or shut up, dirtbag.

Simple. Here's some

Price of groceries, directly affected by having to pay way to0 much for
labor, and if the grocery store itself is unionized, more!

Price of cars, directly affected by having to pay way too much for union
labor and bennies.

Price of infrastructure, directly affected by having to pay way too much
for union labor and bennies.

You see, it's trickle down. The car manufacturer has to pay more for
labor and bennies. Do you think that the manufacturer eats that? Hell
no, it gets passed down to the consumer. Therefore, just about
everything the consumer buys is affected by unions. Now I'm pro union to
a point. It's great that we aren't all having to slave labor for 18
hours in a hot disease riddled unsafe factory. But it's ridiculous when
a guy that three bolts into each car all day every day brings down as
much in wages and bennies as the engineer that helped design the thing.
