I don't think so, and that was certainly not my intention. I
obviously knew that anyone could look it up, hence obviously wouldn't
have said it if I thought anyone would misinterpret it.
I continue to believe that $100k is an astonishing amount of money for
a subway train driver to make, regardless of overtime, and regardless
of how many other train drivers earn less. Especially since Metro is
chronically starved for funding. That's more than *three times* what
the median American earns -- and plenty of Americans work plenty of
unpaid overtime, especially if their employer is starved for funding.
If you disagree, fine. We should agree to disagree, and move on,
rather than adding another thousand messages to this thread.
You've gotta love the hypocrisy. I tell Keith that he has told a lie
and he indignantly requests an apology. *Peter* tells Keith that he has
implicitly lied (and in *bad faith*, no less) and Keith tries to explain
it away.
It is to laugh...
