In 1947, minimum wage was 40 cents an hour.

A 25 cent breakfast at a New York City fast food restaurant was fresh juice, eggs, pan cakes, or chipped beef on toast.

Know any place near you that offers a good $3.00 breakfast?

    Thank God Trump is addressing this by coating those horse statues in DC with 23.75 karat gold. That should fix things right up, for sure.

    I had to tell my staff what their comp increases were. Previous three years it was 0. This year, everyone expected a correction. Nope 2%, 2.5 if you got an excellent rating.

    The company hit 180% of earnings target.
