Bill,
Literally, that ain't playing in Peoria. Black unemployment, lowest ever recorded. Hispanic unemployment, lowest ever recorded. Female unemployment, lowest ever recorded. We have a small problem with very young people, locally, getting jobs because liberal cities are insisting on a $15 minimum wage, which, is keeping a lot of them from getting their first job, and getting the skill set that goes with a first job. Which, isn't worth $15 an hour to most employers.
I work for a rich man, BIll. Do I begrudge him that? Hell no, hardest working guy I have ever met in my life. Turned 67 last month, and did something he had never, ever done in his life-took a vacation. A long one, a whole week, just him and his wife, who works right along side of him, and has since their two kids were finished with college. Every day I go to work, I realize the non-sense they put up with by having a company located in the liberal hell hole that is Minneapolis, the obscene taxes they are on the hook for, and the crap they have to sit and watch, every day. Right around the first of the month, you can't find a place to park, and most of the cars taking up the spots have an Illinois or Wisconsin license plates on them, they come to Minneapolis to collect the generous general assistance money, hang around a day or two, hit a casino, buy some crack, and then go back home. "Sanctuary City" status brings a whole slew of problems you can't even begin to understand, Bill.
Not now, but, one day, I will look back on the disaster that is the Twin Cities metro area, and be joyful at the fact that I will never be back, to see it, or smell it, ever again.
Tell your idiot party in Washington to keep their stinking hands off my crumbs.
Best,
Ted
