Imagine someone making over 200K complaining about CoL when the median income in the US is 36K... Astonishing lack of self awareness

if you want to experience lack of self awareness, go talk to some lawyers charging $800/hr

If the client is a Corporation that might be totally appropriate. If that lawyer then goes on to say how expensive his Latte has gotten then you might have an argument.

do you think that lawyers make 200k per year?

The vast majority make less than that. At large law firms 1st year law school grads routinely make that. A lawyer billing 800/hr might bill 2000 hours in a year for over 1M per year. Not sure you have a point?
