He's of the socialist/communist extreme of the Democrat party.

A CommyCrat?

:shrug:

It's not considered all that extreme if you look at the voting records of the leaders of the Democrat Party. I think moderate would be considered extreme to them.. ala Joe Lieberman

I'll be curious to see if you are as close a believer in the redistribution of wealth/socialism ideal when you are faced with the decision to bill at $375/hr.

Oh c'mon. Our resident help the people liberal is surely going to be a pro bono lawyer. He wouldn't dare charge for his needed services. :D

I think he means sympathy and not empathy.

But yah, a lot of what Ed said broaderscaledwise.

Oh right:

The worst thing about having an immigrated midget Argentine mother is when I ever-so-slightly bitch about anything and/or anybody and/or anywhere, she immediately puts into play her rational from the days of Auld cited with "when I came to this country."

Usually my pleas to offset student loans and food to eat are offset by her fending off velociraptors and other prehistoric predators and having to make fire from... chimichurri.

Considering I'm planning on working in the DA's office, and will make $375 over the course of two weeks....yeah, sure...;)

How in the world do you plan on repaying your law student loans at that rate?

LOL.. money is no object to TheE!

When he can't repay his loans, he'll just default and then claim bankruptcy. You and I will pick up his tab as he saves the world from the evils of capitalism.

$375 in two weeks? You working at Walmart or something?

Sorry.. you actually have to try to be a slacker to make $4.69 an hour with a law degree. You either have to be a really bad lawyer or a really stupid lawyer if you are only making $10,000 a year.

:lol:

I was exagerrating, to illustrate that $375 an hour is not a wage I will ever make, and I'd be closer to be making $375 in a couple of weeks. But, obviously, you knew that already, and you just wanted the opportunity to mock me. ;)

The average ADA, even here in Boston, probably makes about 35 grand a year. Over 52 weeks, that's...what....$673 a week, before taxes. Which is a lot closer to $187.50 a week, than $15,000 a week of billable hours.

Here's what I pulled up for a GWU LS new grad (0 yrs exp) working in the DA's office in Boston. Dont know how accurate this is... but found it interesting none the less.

Holy shit, if that's true, people have been fucking lying to me. I met this guy who works at the Mass AG...started in the DA's 4 years ago before moving on....said McDonald's assistant managers made more than him, he saw an ad when he went to McD's.

Of course, maybe I assumed McD assistant managers made significantly less than that.

Edited to add: Oh, DUDE. That's for DISTRICT ATTORNEY, NOT ADA. You know, DA, the position they elect? There's only one per county? ADAs are all his/her minions who actually do all their jobs.

I always wonder how decent McD's managers' income is, what with all the oppressive McD slander.

John Amos had it pretty damn good in Coming to America, I guess. (Not in comparison to Prince Akeem, rather.)

Hey, I started out mopping the floor just like you guys. But now... now I'm washing lettuce. Soon I'll be on fries; then the grill. And in about two years, I'll make assistant manager, and that's when the big bucks start rolling in.

I don't know about McDonald's but the store manager at the BK where I work earns around 70k/year. It's not a Corp. store, it's a franchise, but he used to be in corp management as a district manager, earning around twice that. He took a voluntary cut in pay and move to the franchise because the stress was causing him heart problems. Considering our store's revenue, he's underpaid, but even so it's not a bad salary.
