I think you should see Michael Moore's movie where he tells how good he lived as a child on the salary his father earned working in a factory. *****
When I read this and saw Moore's name, I Laughed out loud. Surely you jest.
People working in factories now, make a good living, the problem is, there aren't as many Factories as there used to be.
If your ambition is to work on an assembly line in 21st century America, you are in the wrong country.
I notice Moore found a new gig.
Gas in Texas is below $2 a gallon in this area. One thing about gas and oil: the prices go up, and they go down, and the change is reflected at the pump. What other commodity can you name that ever goes down in price. Name one.
Check Gas prices in Europe. When I first went to Germany the price was 25 cents a gallon at the PX stations. The Germans paid several dollars a gallon, if memory serves. Who manipulated that?
Drug prices: The government (medicare / Medicaid) cannot negotiate drug prices with the big companies. It is against federal law. Laws passed by your liberal friends. Think prices are bad here, check Canada.
