      4/ Yep. @chris_labarthe is making a few mistakes in his analysis: - underestimating how much guys in the trades make - overestimating the cost of living outside of urban cores. A welder can make $80k, his wife might make $60k or more as a teacher or dental hygienist >>>

          5/ ...and that's assuming they don't commute into the city or suburbs and earn a fair bit more. Out in the country they can live for maybe $2k/mo. They don't have student loans to speak of. Taxes are low.

          6/ That $80k pickup truck is $1,500 per month. So the family has tons of money left over for ARs, nice optics, training classes, snow mobiles, or whatever else they want. I'd bet a rural welder has far more disposable income than a <checks notes> "writer in San Francisco".

          Yup. My brother-in-law is a master welder for a company that repairs and maintains factories across the US. He and my sis have a beautiful farm in Tennessee. Blue collar guys can really make some serious money.

          13/ Btw, part of the reason rural people often have $50k or $60k pickups is that their housing cost is so low, that they can have that already locked down (a full house, for a mortgage about half per month what someone in SF pays for a 1 bedroom apartment) & have cash left over

          That is the whole goddam thing right there. Pretentious Frisco writer is seething that tradesmen are earning more doing what they're doing than he's ever going to earn doing what he's doing.

          80 -120k a year is average for tradesmen who have a shorter training cycle than electricians (arguably one of the longest training periods for tradesmen). 120-140 is very common for an electrician who hustles a little and puts in 8 or 10 hours overtime a pay period (two weeks).
