That kind of pay scale isn't even legal.

@MethDozer gotta see what kind of worker he is

@MarineBob It's illegal to decide the pay rate after the work is done. It's not even legal to employ someone and decide their hourly rate after the work is done.

@MarineBob You honestly expect to find a good and dedicated manual laborer who will work for the same amount that McDonalds pays to flip hamburgers?

@MarineBob All your posts about employees are you essentially saying "I only pay them because slavery is illegal".

I bet you hire a lot of those "illegal mexicans" you wanted a wall to keep out.

@MarineBob Yes all hubs teach a life skill. Like don't let yourself be used like a slave and work for stale peanuts while the boss man is eating caviar.

@MarineBob I build docks. It really isn't much of a life skill honestly. I like it but if asked me to do it for $10 and hour I'd laugh in your face and if someone bought a dock built at $10 an hour I'd tell them you get what you pay for.
