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.

    we’re very busy, and people keep asking when we will hire employees, and I keep telling them FUCKING NEVER

    what, just because I lucked into having a home with a garage and some disposable income to throw at tools start this thing, then I should bring in some other poor fuckers with less opportunity and income and take advantage of them???

    what the actual fuck is wrong with people

        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.
