Insert excuse here.
Around here we still have teenagers doing a lot of the farm work. I talked to a kid at the party store who just came in from the field where he was picking rocks.
He said he gets $10 per hour under the table. Not too shabby. I made $5 back in the 80s.
‘until he got sick to death of slackard, meth-using, low-life, beer-fed, did I mention lazy and immoral? low-life white guys’ (reasoning inserted).
