When I first started working at minimum wage, you could buy 3 packs of decent cigarettes for an hour’s worth of labor
For the last few years the places I have lived, one pack of cigarettes is about $17. So over 2 hours worth of work at the minimum wage just for one pack of smokes
Now, this may sound like an old fogey story, but perhaps the point is that I entered the workforce when minimum wage was like $7.35 an hour less than 15 years ago, and I already have old fogey economic stories

According to his math, around seven-eighths of all Albertans who just voted for the federal Conservatives would have to back sovereignty for a "Yes" side to win.
7 out of 8 people who vote conservative would have to vote for something stupid?
Welcome to America, Alberta, I guess
Its DC, so everything will be backed up for miles long before anyone even shows up
