I genuinely did not expect them to respond to this:

This was so beyond ridiculous that I debated posting it. I wasn't sure if people would believe it or not.

Okay, but when will you hire employees?

Fucking never?! If somebody desperately wanted to service tractors and mowers with us, we'd make them part owner.

I just can't see profiting off somebody else's labor?? I didn't earn the luck that enabled us to keep tools and parts when we had to abruptly move, shit just happens.

It just doesn't seem fair to tell somebody who can do the job just as well that they deserve less money for their time just because our chips fell differently. I genuinely don't understand how anybody is okay with that.

If you really needed help you could hire someone who’s willing to learn, pay them decently, then once you feel they’ve learned enough ask them if they’d like to be a partner. That seems fair to me personally since you’re giving them a free education.

And we’ve circled back to apprenticeships!

Sort of, this is pretty much how it’s done in the trades except for the becoming a partner part. That part is replaced by starting your own business and becoming a small business tyrant in our timeline.
