You got arguing with a brick wall correct... I also restated that they don't
pull 80 book hours every week - that week to week it varies based on their
output, and that the original statement was a simplified one where I simply
did some crude math. Buddy, I know mechanics that work in a dealership that
make _very_ good money. If they didn't, they wouldn't be able to afford
those $15,000 toolboxes and the $25,000 they invest in tools for their
trade. Yeah, they're not poor...

Let me say this: You're comparing apples and oranges. $20 an hour on a
normal job isn't that much money. But, $20 an hour on a flat rate basis,
where you get paid on book time is a world different. It's not the same...
You're obviously too stupid to understand that point...
