I was talking with my wedding photographer the other day and he happened to work for Giant, a grocery store in several states around here, as a cashier. He told me that he was getting paid $30 an hour and $45 on holidays to work as a cashier back in 1987 when the union actually had power. If I had known that back in 1987, I wouldn't have gone to college in 1989 and worked at a hot dog stand for $5.00 an hour. I would have become a cashier for Giant. Utterly amazing to think that a cashier could make that much money back then.
The USA has many things wrong with it, but I still think we could industrialize if we needed too. Hopefully, it would be in time.
Where is most of our military stuff made? I would guess right here in the USA, but I have no exact idea.
