minmum wage in the USA federally is 7.25/hr

It only goes lower for servers which is utter BS to me.  I get maybe a small drop for alcohol servers (example in BC, Canada) waitstaff who serve alcohol typically get more tips.  But to depend on the public to pay your employees on a regular basis is dumb to me.  This isnt the great depression, pay your employees!

 

 

I think they should get paid around that 7/hr depending on where they work.  It should be appropriate to make a living wage including tips.  I noticed in other countries that non-tipped servers are not nearly as attentive.  I'd rather have no servers in that case and just pay less for the food.

Not me, I get coupon dollars on one of my cards and they still make some of their stuff in America.

Not political per se, but can someone please get our president a press conference coach?  That hurt to watch.

Maybe I should pick some stuff up.  I've got $50 in coupons at the moment largely from putting our car repair on that card.

 

Silverado is in the shop for some electrical issues it was having and its 100k mile service.  That's a milestone!

I've only ever driven a car to 120k before.

Go for it.  Mine wears the Wildcat one from LLBean and matching snowpants.  I think she's had an LLBean jacket for the past 5 years.

One month, one week and three days until I see my husband again for a few days, after three months apart. 

Then time resets, and I won't see him for another two months.

I know It could be way worse, I can't imagine what other couples have to go through. 

Long distance relationship + pending immigration process =  certainly not for everyone.

A lot of highway miles?  It has also still got its original battery from 8 years ago and that check engine light is still on from 4 years ago.
