re: #127 twisty

I really love how certain people will spend all day talking up the right to make money and achieve and American dream and etc etc but feel all icky if it’s someone in a trade or otherwise non-suit job doing it. It would be nice to know what specific case this person is talking about too, since I’d bet you $125 (per hour!) that there’s a factor justifying that pay level— like very high cost of living in the area, unusual danger in the job, or an extremely specialized type of welding skill needed.

Actually the most a pipe welder can hope to make is $45/hr. I don’t know where that wingnut pulled the $125, probably out of her rear end.
