This machine allows anyone to work for minimum wage for as long as they like. Turning the crank on the side releases one penny every 4.97 seconds, for a total of $7.25 per hour. This corresponds to minimum wage for a person in New York. This piece is brilliant on multiple levels, particularly as social commentary. Without a doubt, most people who started operating the machine for fun would quickly grow disheartened and stop when realizing just how little they’re earning by turning this mindless crank. A person would then conceivably realize that this is what nearly two million people in the United States do every day…at much harder jobs than turning a crank. This turns the piece into a simple, yet effective argument for raising the minimum wage.
god damn
That’s how easy it is to make minimum wage?!

This is what happens when you watch too much Home and Garden channel. Drill versus garbage disposal during a dishwasher installation.
Bolognese Sauce
The recipe from my last post.
So I picked up a Lodge Porcelain Enamel Cast Iron Dutch Oven (from here on out to be known as the Red Dutch Oven) today. I originally set out to buy the standard Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven but the store was sold out. I’ve always wanted a Le Creuset dutch oven, but at $350 I haven’t been able to justify it to Lisa. Needless to say its first recipe is bolognese sauce.
