    $66K ain't bad. People can crack their shit. But that's above median. Reviewing OR/WA stats, $66K is a solid figure, especially in one's20's. is it 1% level? No, but why crack shit? I know people my age with great educations and solid jobs, and they are happy at $50K. It ain't how much you make but how much you spend.

    I know you're just cracking shit, Brainiac, but still, you're one in the crowd. I'd like to know how many people here make a legit $70K plus. And then who's under 45 or so?

    Edit: I should say, "This is reasonable, unless you're in a union. Then you have the system bent over a barrel, and should be making double, or you're 'underpaid'."

    Nope, we get about 10hrs of OT a week. Average top scale driver is earning between 80 and 100k with no college education and no student loans. Max out at 8 weeks vacation a year. The best healthcare coverage you'll find around.

    Baller status? That's you that said that. I'm happy with my career decision. You can feel free to think about me though, you seem to like to take the time to put thought into my personal life.

    Doesn't seem like a very Stanford thing to do.

    Who wants to be average or at the median? It certainly isn't something to brag about.

    For one, I think someone with a Stanford education wouldn't be insecure enough to try and mock someone that has a good paying job. Little things like that.

    If I had a Stanford degree I'd be out making a difference in the world, not picking petty fights on Blazer message board with the little personal information you have about that person.

    Makes me believe the Stanford thing is just a big charade.

    Why can't you go make a difference in the world without a Stanford education?

    You always deflect and make it about me. Something tells me you don't get laid very often.

    I'm extremely envious of you. I just can't contain it.

    I'm actually conversing with you. Soak it in. Tuck that little woody in your belt.

    Thanks, Mike Hummel. All these guys changed the subject once you proved them wrong. As you told us, the owners engineered the union vote, by cutting and cutting, to sell the company at a higher price. I read that elsewhere, but had forgotten it among all the propaganda. The media has misreported all union news since the late 1800s.

    In my experience right wingers always change the subject or resort to personal attacks unrelated to the issue when the facts are suddenly on the table. I have seen shocking consistency on this since the strike started.
