Most of the highly paid skilled trades jobs no longer exist in the
US... most jobs in the US are now low paid desk driving jobs - answer
the phone and know nothing faker jobs.

Sanders and others who think like him, at all levels. A change of
regime.

Anytime someone suggests an improvement to the American system, y'all
go "Aaargh, socialism!" Y'all are a funny lot and nothing will ever
get better :)

Not sure what you want to improve that will change wages for the average
person. I controlled mine by education, hard work, doing a good job.
 
We are not a perfect nation, but wage and price controls have not worked
well anywhere. Our tax code needs major overhaul though.

No nation's perfect, but only in America do people think that
improvement means socialism :)

believe it or not my main purpose in operating the can opener is to
open the can, not observe the brand of opener

Can opener snobbism. Remember, you saw it here first.

not to my face, nor even in Usenent - not with either spelling - you
are the first
 
of course I value your opinion highly

Bruce, I thought Shel's comment was "can opener envy." ;-))
 
Mine might have had a name at one time, but it is so old, it has maybe worn off. I can't remember a
time when I didn't have it. It is light blue, which would have matched my kitchen in 1969
so it might be that old.

You must be a tiny bit more north than I thought, because that's about 5
miles south for us! I haven't been to the house in Florida much at all
this year myself with so many school and sports activities going on at home
this year, so I haven't had a chance to go there yet. I'll be down in June
though so will have to check it out. I'll have to ask DH if he's been
there yet, since he's down there at least a couple times a month. He's not
much of a cook, so I'm doubtful. LOL

I guess I gotta plug these. They're #$1.24/can here, and I get a
pound of rice free with each can ($.80/value). They're pretty
good,a nd I was out of rice anyway. So now I have 4 pounds of rice
and beans for $.44/can.
