Apparently the economy is strong.

It’s kinda funny, but I was passing the guy on the freeway offramp this morning who had the “no job, please help” sign and I consciously thought: “Obama’s not president any more. The economy is booming, get a friggin’ job.”

Regarding the sign guy.

There was a sign guy at my exit who was there pretty often. Strangely believe it but I often saw him at a different exit 90 miles to the north.

Pondering that I concluded that sitting with the sign was his job. Then I wondered how much could he collect? How bout $10 an hour?

I can believe he could easily collect $10 an hour at the busy exits. Two $5 scores and he could rest for that hour. Then, it is tax free so in effect it is at least $11 an hour in real money.

I have concluded that patiently and persistantly sitting with a sign at a busy exit pays far more than the minium wage

That IS his job. In case you haven't heard, some of these "indigent" people on prime corners bring in over $100/day or more. Some have smart phones and CREDIT CARD SWIPERS!
