Well we can't reasonably deal with things like "or more" - she stated a number and that is all we can work with. Strictly speaking you are correct her total hourly income may have fallen less than $2/hour. So the damage to her was less than or equal to the amount of damage I was imputing.  If it was less then that only increases the validity of my comment . And it doesn't change the fact that her comment was pretty hyperbolic, which was my main point..
