Have to wonder if these “minimum wage” dictates affect events. Last night there was a huge fire that destroyed a huge paper recycling plant in New Jersey. This plant employed hundreds of low paid, immigrant mill workers who were very loyal, good workers who were gratified to receive a regular paycheck. Today the minimum wage in NJ rose to $15/hour. Now the mill no longer exists. May have been time to collect the insurance and sell the land.

Retirees in Florida:

1st guy: “When do you down here?”
2nd guy: “My plant burned down and I took the insurance and retired here. How about you?”

1st guy: “My plant flooded, luckily I had flood insurance, I took the money and moved.”

2nd guy: “How do you start a flood?”
