I found this funny: > Or, as Mike Bird pointed out, a car wash manager at an Alabama Buc-ees, a chain of gas stations and grocery stores, earns more ($125k/year) than THREE median UK salaries. Buc-ee's has a hardcore conservative Christian workplace culture (bested by Chick-Fil-A), but they pay their people well. They also give their employees a 401(k) and (terrible, compared to the UK) vacation time! Also, everyone loves to dunk on Mississippi, Alabama, and WV (and it is deserved), but Mississippi is a moderately large oil state, Alabama has a sizable military industry and WV is still big on coal and energy.
