Here's a sure sign that I am getting old. In my late teens and 20s, I used to regularly check out the women who were driving cars to see if they were attractive. Now, as I close in on 40, I'm checking to see the size and shape of...the minivan they are driving. Ha ha ha ha!!!! That's funny!  And when you were in your twenties, the last thing you pictured yourself driving was a mini-van right?? TIS

Lilo, I must have misunderstood. I thought I heard that Whitman was going to make a "shocker" announcement about Jerry Brown.  I can't believe I totally missed the debate (Brown/Whitman) last night. I was here, wanted to watch and simply forgot.  TIS

I don't know the California standard of living but in Michigan $23/hr is not cheap. We'll see how it all plays out...
From TMZ/Yahoo
Nicky Diaz Santillan, Whitman's housekeeper of 9 years, held a news conference with her lawyer, Gloria Allred, and claims Whitman had all the clues she was an undocumented worker but closed her eyes to it because she was cheap help ... $23 an hour.
Allred claims the housekeeper was "exploited, disrespected, humiliated and emotionally and financially abused" by Whitman.
Allred claims when the housekeeper was hired 9 years ago through an agency, Whitman never asked if she was in the U.S. legally. And, during her employment, Santillan told Whitman she couldn't travel to Mexico. And, Allred said, Whitman found out Santillan's Social Security number didn't match her name, but Whitman did nothing. Allred said it's the classic case of "don't ask, don't tell."
That all changed, Allred says, when Whitman launched her campaign for Governor, realizing having an illegal alien on board was a liability ... and fired her.
Santillan says Whitman treated her "like a piece of garbage" by letting her go.
Allred says Santillan is filing a claim with the Labor Commission for back wages and mileage.
Yesterday, Whitman said in the debate with Jerry Brown that employers should be held accountable for hiring undocumented workers.
Meg Whitman's campaign just gave us documents suggesting that her former maid, Nicky Diaz Santillam, actually lied to Meg about her immigration status when she was hired back in 2000.
The documents, which Whitman claims Nicky filled out and signed back in 2000 during her application for employment, appear to show that the maid stated under the penalty of perjury that she was a "lawful permanent resident" of the United States.
Whitman also claims Nicky provided her with a social security card and valid California Driver's License with her employment application ... which Meg kept and has now handed over to TMZ.
Whitman has also issued a statement on the matter, saying ... "After 9 years of faithful service, Nicky came to us in June 2009 and confessed that she was an illegal worker." Whitman continues, "Nicky has falsified the hiring documents and personal information she provided to the employment agency that brought her to us in 2000."
And, Whitman continues, "I believe Nicky is being manipulated by Gloria Allred for political and financial purposes during the last few weeks of a hotly contested election."
Whitman concludes, "This is a shameful example of the politics of personal destruction practiced by people like Jerry Brown and Gloria Allred. The charges are without merit."
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

I don't know the California standard of living but in Michigan $23/hr is not cheap. We'll see how it all plays out... Very coincidentally, one of the local NYC tv stations did a story on the City's subway car cleaners. These men and women are responsible for cleaning the subway cars when the train pulls into a terminal station (and then turns around and goes the other way). They are supposed to sweep and mop, if necessary, the floors and pick up discarded newspapers. The fact that more than half were filmed slacking off (sitting in the subway cars and reading newspapers) notwithstanding, thanks to a union they are paid $23/hour.  Is it any wonder that the state and city are in such horrible shape?

Lilo, I am NOT surprised by the $23 per hour, but hell yea, it's a lot.  Yet, Whitman can afford it since she's put up what? $120 MILLION (so far) of her own money into this campaign. Chump change!!!! TIS

For $23/hr I'll sweep the subways. What will you do for 50¢? (that's about all I have). Seriously though, the City is paying people over $40,000 a year to clean subway cars. I just can't see that.

I just can't see that. hell, at a 40 hour work week it would be $ 47,840.00 That is without overtime, if any came their way. That is gross of course...but what about benefits. And you know they most likely get full benefits. and you surely don't need four years of college to do that job.

$48,000 a year?? It's not much money, quite honestly. It's very difficult, even in the suburbs of NYC, to find a one bedroom apartment for less than $1,200/month. If you're taking home $3,000 per month, what are you left with after rent, food, transportation, and so on?
And that's a ONE bedroom apartment, with no chance that you might have kids to support.

If you want to get ahead you should get roommates and split a place. it doesn't have to be a high rise condo or a palace. Or maybe you have to travel into work on a transit system to have a place to live. Maybe you rent a mother in law apartment somewhere. There are so many ways....Hell get married and enjoy yourself.

SC has a point. But just like gas prices, what should wages or salaries be for certain professions? That's usually determined byt he market, but other variables can affect it. You pretty much said it right there. As far as I know, at the end of the day, the variations in wages and salaries among regions is dependant on the Consumer Price Index for said region...A gallon of milk is 6/$7 dollars in Hawaii, but only $2 in Idaho:.Wage levels are adjusted accordingy.
