Sticks and Stones my friend, stick and stones.Every one has "friends" that want that experience and I know you might have patients that do it for free because they like .SO DO I ,SO DOES EVERYONE!.But thats not what we were talking about.We were talking and how much was a decent price to PAY trimmers to work for you You said it takes you 3 hours to trim 1 lb and you pay no more than 50 per lb. I was just going from what YOU SAID.Take a look back there and read it again .I did. Do the math that is a whooping $16.667 per hour and no matter how you wan to put it your head to make it better the fact of the matter is , is that 70-80 precent of the patients who we are suppose to be helping are in the levels of poverty .These are the people that make it possible for you to do anything to nickle and dime them is like slapping them in the face.You are trying to tell me that if your friends or patients knew what you make in profit off them ,that help OR work, they wouldn't have bad feelings towards you,$16.667 per hr come on.And your 150% comes in when you factor all the expenses and time occurred and divide it by the amount of product being produced per plant. I don't know about you but I average 5-6 oz per plant My cost works out to about $38.00 per oz using the most expensive nutes on the market in the U.S. and runnin 8-1000's for light and air controlled not mention all the other shit pluged in. so when you turn around and sell that oz for 250.00-300.oo per oz and sometimes you can find it here as much as 450 per oz it might not be 150% but thats a huge gain.Lets also take a moment to also count the vote on the wonderful people that travel around and trim exclusively for a living and have been 30 years and SON, yes people like you are sooooo bad because you keep the poor poor and only really care about the buck in your pocket and weather you can scrap it from somewhere or should I say" someone else" because after all you are in the public business not the private,Spread the love.Most of all industries base their pay off the percentage rate of gains and losses and profitability they don't just pick a number out of a hat they give a reasonable over all percentage and base their salary off them and the owners/operators still get rich and make their money.By the way I own my own business thats thriving and my own home and I'm not having "Hard times".Everyone is worth 25.00 an hour at every job when the cost of living 18.75 its about morals and ethics.SO STICKS AND STONES STICKS AND STONES . I DONE TALKING TO AN IDIOT!
