    Having a net worth of $330K only means you’re an older person who owns a house and has paid at least most of it off. Also there isn’t a single plumber who’s worth their salt who’s making $13/hr, my man. Either your friends are awful at their work or you’re lying

      in the South that is still a high paying job at $13 an hour

      why don’t you ring some digits and find out

      some places down here do pay more of course such as a Wal-mart stocker at about $17 but the daytime employees there still make less than that and some plumbing companies do pay more here around some close to Wal-mart pay but you have to drive farther out to find those which eats into maintenance/gas

      sources: patrons that are in front of my counter at work a lot more are open to talk about how much they make than you would imagine maybe it is just because of my job

        I want the US government to have your friends’ backs when they want to unionize and bargain for higher wages and a pension, which is why I’m voting Harris/Walz

            Those rail workers who got the sick leave they wanted after the Biden Admin continued to fight for them?
