“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”
-- Ulysses S. Grant
Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that

“Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.” ― Omar Bradley (1948)
I worked at a gas station/convience store pumping gas, stocking shelves and doing whatever needed to be done. When I started I made $3.35/hr about 3-4 months later the state raised the minimum wage so I got a raise to $3.50/hr
5 i think here in canada or something around that i remember when a $10 an hour job was something nice then $20 an hour was like youre going to be rich if you have that job now no one could get me to go back to a regular job for any less than $40 an hour and even then i would have to seriously consider it
$5 per hour working on a ranch when I was 14, doing all sorts of shit ranging from painting fences, stretching fence wire, digging trenches to lay conduit, trimming pepper trees with a pole saw. It was really hard work, but it did sure as hell build character.
$2.75/hr at a door factory when I was 15 - summer of 78 or 79. and it seemed just as shitty then to me as it does 30 years later. place was filled with immigrants just off the boat and a few white kids like me. i'd have been much better off selling golf balls or with a lemonade stand.
I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!
4.50/hr in Alberta Canada, would have been around '89.
I was getting minimum wage of $5.95 in '98 at my first job, living in Alberta. I think alberta is only $7/hr now? Or have they gone up again recently? Either way, for being the richest province by far, they were always the lowest minimum wage in the country.
Whoop, just looked it up, Alberta is at $8.80 now and BC is trailing the back at $8, AB is second lowest now. I'm pretty sure I heard talk a while back about BC pushing for a minimum wage hike again though. Probably due in for one with the new HST and Alberta having given themselves a recent bump.
I first worked at Canadian Tire pumping pumping gas in 1979. I have no idea what my pay was. It was a lot back then, though.
$10.25/hr, close enough. Highest minimum wage in Canada by $.60/hr if you discount Nunavut, I mean, who gives a fuck about Nunavut? I guess that means you can quit mooching money from Alberta now?
