Ah, I see what you mean now. I was talking about what I could spend on me at meetings or when I had to be out of town.

By the time I got in it field reps couldn’t take customers out unless it was a formal educational dinner. And even then we had a $100 per person limit.  Yes, upper level management can still do that but I honestly don’t know if they have a limit or not.
Yeah, the sales force was different.

As for, say, a convention? Lots of marketing and communications staff go to those, and they generally happen in expensive places.

Sure, you can eat cheaper in Vegas and SF, but you'd better be prepared for a (non-reimbursable) cab ride to find those places to eat cheaper. Otherwise, you're on the $75. I know my wife and her peers used to just do a breakfast bar and that type of stuff so they would have enough money to have dinner, without getting into a cab. You cannot do $75/day on the strip/SF/NY or anywhere near convention centers, really, unless you go lean at lunch and breakfast.

Now I will say that anytime I took a cab or Uber to go to dinner I expensed it and it was always approved.

You were in sales though. Regular staff, probably not.

In the case of coal mining it’s money.  I’ve known college educated men to give up lesser paying white collar jobs to go in the mines because they could make more.

And not everyone considers it a miserable existence.  I have an uncle who worked in the mines basically his entire adult life.  He retired a few years ago. He supported his wife and four kids with the job and while he is enjoying retirement also says he sometimes misses the work. And while I don’t know for sure I believe he retired to seven figures in his 401k.
Thank you for replying to my question.  Some here are a little too sensitive.

Your circumstances were different - there but by the grace of god go I.You obviously couldn't give a shit after a limpdick remark like that.Oh your parents cared - so much so they would produce a snot who shits on the less fortunate.Why don't you spend your time working with the less fortunate rather than lampooning them,since you are so gifted .But I'll get off the board now you may want to badmouth Special Olympians

I've got a few neighborhoods in Chicago that could use a speech on this.

I don't think there's an unknown, probably larger-than-you'd-think portion of the population who doesn't like coal miners.  That is the case, however, for our friends on your map.

Why should I dislike coal miners?  I don't know any of them today personally.  I can see disliking mining companies, but the workers?

Why?

C'mon, Afro!  It's OK to shit on coal miners because they are white, but not OK to shit on inner-city residents because they are disproportionately black?

The point is that it's not easy to invoke changes upon people who a) don't know anything different, b) don't want to know, or c) refuse assistance in changing.
