    On the weekends I’ve been working on a concrete foundation for my new fence…talk about unskilled work. I’m having to scrape every ounce of shit I’ve ever learned from my dad to skill this wall into existence. It’s 90% labor, 10% skill. So that tells you how much this should be paid in comparison to my actual desk job… okay fine engineering is way more difficult in skill but like 10% labor so we can still equate stuff to stuff.

    It boggles the mind that a CEO could earn much more than several to hundreds to thousands of workers do. That’s just not right. That’s robbery.
