I'm glad I wouldnt find you. As soon as I said what I needed and you
replied" I dont even take a ladder off my truck for $40" I'd probably
hang up. That is a **** poor attitude and I bet you work for someone
only once! The advantage to Home Depot is that if the contractor
screws up you just have to sue Home Depot and they arent going
anywhere. If an independent contractor screws up they usually
disappear, change names go bankrupt etc and homeowners are out of
luck. It's sad that you feel a plumber deserves $100/hr. Find out
how much your kids' teachers make and then decide which job is more
difficult and worthy of that ridiculous rate.

Your argument is totally flawed and the exaggeration just makes it look
sillier.

There is a tremendous difference between the billing rate of a plumber
which covers business expenses and overhead and the salary of a teacher.
