Since vaccines are already developed overseas our government needs to pull their heads out and do the research to develop them for over here.

I eat bacon so rarely now that it's price doesn't bother me, at all.

Bon Appetit!

1962 vs 2011

On October 15th 1962 the Federal minimum wage was increased from $1.00 to $1.15 per hour.

In 2011 the Federal minimum wage was $7.25.

By comparison/inflation bacon was slightly cheaper in 2011.

bacon is like gasoline. It doesn't matter what it costs, it's one of life's necessities so we'll buy it.
