Today I am disabled and unemployable. Federal law suspends our minimum wage laws and restores my right to negotiate my own wages for the work I render. I can legally work for less than minimum wage to attain employment in independence and dignity. It is absolutely disgusting that I had to become disabled for my rights to be restored, and even more disgusting the able bodied are denied their rights as this is not equal rights and equal opportunity. This social disease plaguing Oregon strips the poor of our rights to create a dependence on government programs.
