$35 seems way under minimum wage. If I'm sending my kid for a whole day, they gotta be paid at least $12/h.

That's not wage for the kids, that's how much it costs to send your kids to this ~~summer~~ labour camp.

Yeah I know, I guess I should have used an "/s".

Yyyep. Sadly necessary. It was impossible to tell if you misunderstood the context, were joking, didn't understand this is where America is right now, or any other thing. Sorry bud! Frustrates me, too.
