Anthony...your commentary about lawyers for the past several years indicates one or a few must've handed you your ass in some litigation or matter. For
your info, private lawyers have their rates set when working for government agencies (states, counties, cities, schools, agencies, criminal defense, etc.), just like doctors being reimbursed by medicare.
Sparks, you make some damn good points, but you need to remember that many professionals (doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc.) work for companies, firms or public institutions and are suffering from layoffs, cuts in hours and loss of benefits like any production line employee...but they rarely have unions arguing they should be guaranteed 80-90% of their pay while on layoff. You can certainly remark about them making comparatively more money, but then you likely don't care that they were going to school and taking out education loans they are still paying off decades later while other folks were having a good time in their 20s. Everyone has their own perspective in that regard.
In any event, everyone stay on track with the automotive industry in this thread...no arguments or it will be enforced without further notice. Thanks.
