We’re getting some masonry work done at our place.
We hired a local company, small business for the project.
Dude is out here doing the work solo.
We’re BS-ing and he said he’s offered as much as $25/hr for zero experience labor jobs (mixing mortar, carrying stone).
People have countered w/ $50/hr. I.e $100k/yr.
That’s more than the business owner’s post tax income.
Isn’t this kind of unrealistic hurting what we’re fighting for?
