Yup, they are the guys that were making 15 bucks and hour, last week,
working for someone that was paying all of the overhead for them. Now they
figure they can be in business for themselves and $35 an hour is big time.
Problem is, their whole business is on the dashboard of their truck and they
are only working half a much because their life style was based on the $15
an hour. Gives them more time to drink beer.
