    Hell, I used to work for minimum some years ago myself, worked my way right up to a good wage and a good retirement. My pay back then was a $ 1.00 a hour, driving farm tractors for other farmers in southeast Missouri, farm labor here in the metro area, detassing corn in northern Illinois, putting up hay for farmers, washing cars at some car lots here in Granite. Probably forgetting some. But do remember chopping cotton for $ 5.00 a day, and picking cotton for three dollars a hundred pounds, I was a lad and about all I could pick a day was about a hundred pounds, and that was spitting on the cotton, putting some dirt clods in sack, LOL
    crazy world isn't it
