Keeping up with the Joneses, and keeping ahead of the Smiths (a repost)
This is a repost of something I wrote nine years ago, occasioned by someone on social media opining how terrible it is for the burger-flippers of the world to be getting a raise someplace while the “first responders” aren’t paid … Continue reading
A few tabs to close….
