if I actually knew how to do anything useful...

This kind of thing would happen a lot more without price

gouging laws, which are really totalitarian in nature.

They should stay in TX. Great income, lower cost of living, plenty of work available.

I guess I'm getting too cynical in my old age - but it

sounds like they are charging for their services - I originally thought they were doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.

Are these just people who were smart enough to go where the work was...?

That's what I was wondering. There are a lot of people that travel and charge to make money after disasters. I know tree cutters and roofers that travel all over during hurricane seasons. Are these guys doing something special? I didn't read it.

Hey man...how was Jamaica?

I read it - it said people were "hiring" them to work which

implied to me they were being compensated.

I'm not saying they were gauging anyone - but it sounds like they were just plumbers who were smart enough to get work by traveling somewhere where folks needed plumbers.

I wonder how many times they have heard, "Y'all ain't from around here are ya!"

Cause they are plumbers?

No...cause they don’t pronounce light as lyyyyyt or make one syllable words into two syllable words.

Geez, I bet the Irish travelers are rolling to TX in their pickups to rip off some Texans. That could prove to be a very unwise move.
