I am in Florida this week. Mom has a couple of doctors appointments so I made this routine visit. A news article that caught my attention was this one. my first reaction was to ask myself "who the **** robs a grocery store at gunpoint. Then I realized I am in Florida. They rob sandwich stores at gunpoint. Last year a couple of thugs robbed a sandwich store delivery man who couldn't have had more than $50. There is more money in Publix but it is still a pathetically senseless crime.

President Obama is fighting to have the minimum wage increased. It will never happen. Republicans are already arguing that it will eliminate jobs, which they might. However in the meantime you have more folks joining the ranks of the homeless because they are either unemployed or under-employed. Robberies like this in Florida are not new. The locals apparently got bored with home invasions. I always go back to the welfare reform act. Now you have more desperate people. Face it, you have to be desperate to violently rob for such a small amount of money. To rob someone is already an act of desperation, but to rob like that for so little is senseless.
