Joe Sixpack is always going to think that you work 10 days a month, get paid $300,000/year, and that the plane flies itself. Because Joe Sixpack is a barely literate pig who is most comfortable believing that everybody but him has got it easy. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you will stop fighting the "war of public opinion" and start fighting the war that we can win. To wit, the war of regulation.

Are you this guy?



May he RIP.
