In the recession of '71, a lot of CA aerospace engineers were flipping

So what? What's your point here?

I'm merely responding to Jessica that unemployed college graduates
hurt as much as unemployed anyone else. Plenty of college graduates
shop at Wal-Mart and eat at McDonald's. Some grads have mundane jobs
with both corporations while seeking and hoping for more challenging
work.

Looks like you've trying to weasel out of your claim that "there are
no longer any gas-pumping jobs".

No, that assertion stands, at least in my area. I know of no filling
station where an employee will pump my fuel for me.

Exactly as I said - more weaseling and back peddling. Facts: 1. There
are more low-end jobs now than there ever was, including some pumping
gas. 2. You must be severely out of touch if you don't know #1.

I said I know of no filling station in my area where an employee will

Yes, but that was part of weaseling out of your original claim that
"there are no longer any gas-pumping jobs". See any qualifiers?

Let's extend the logic snorf you've employed here...

Idiot: There are no cars anymore
Perplexed: Huh? There are more cars now than there ever were.
Idiot: No, there aren't. At least, I can't see any ever since I locked
myself in my basement.

I see no refutation, so who's weaseling and
backpedalling here?

The refutation is clear - that there are lots of low-end jobs, more
than there's ever been, including gas pumping jobs, and including
entire states where self-serve doesn't exist. And places where
self-serve stations are not only required to pump for the disabled,
but at self-serve prices.

I am definitely out of touch with the minimum wage job market.

No kidding. Haven't been reading much news lately, eh? Missed the
thing about the conversion to a service economy altogether I guess.
But that's not my main beef with you, weasel. It's that when you're
informed of being wrong, you yak up a storm rather than just saying
"oh, sorry, learn something new every day". Who is supposed to be
fooled by your M.O.?

I'm
past age 65, retired, don't need or want a job. I've more than paid my
dues.

Are you in touch with the minimum wage job market?

LOL Who's trolling now? I'm retired as well, and you damned well know
it. My main connection to minimum wage jobs is that by opening my
eyes, it's kinda' undeniable that the jobs not only exist, but are an
increasing share of the market.
