"artist's assistant " 3 days later after being employed for 6 months. I remember I couldn't get a job to save my life as a student in the early 80s and after graduating college later in the 80s under Reagan and "trickle down economics". I remember that when I did get a steady job at Macy's in display in the early 90s during Bush #1 I was in constant fear of being laid off, I remember changing careers and being able to do so when Clinton was the president and I could get unemployment for a year while I went back to college to get a teaching degree. I remember not getting a raise or a cost of living increase for 5 straight years after Bush #2 and the crashes in 2007 and 2008. Yes, I remember that Republicans caused me great economic harm while the Democratic presidents had to clean up their shit. I remember!!!
