"$30 an hour for a mechanic, that's just bullshit."

As I strolled past him, I remarked, "Really, that much? Huh, I wonder if their hiring?"

Turns out they were. I've been working there since 2003.

Some people are so f**ked up that if you hear them complaining about something, go check it out. It's probably a pretty good deal.

Thanks, Dan. Looks like Reich speaks the truth.

He probably was complaining that they were paying too much.
