Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then

LoL That's the way it's supposed to be, isn't it?

It isn't for a lot of people in his position, no...

However, I grew up working my ass off.

My kids both have a trust fund - but it's not enough for them to do nothing and live in the lap of luxury. Their trust funds are closer to stipends that'd keep them alive without working.

So, my kids work. That's the way it should be.

Well, that's the way I think it should be. Seeing as I'm the one cutting the proverbial checks, that's the way it's going to happen.

I do have a decent position opening up on the farm in a few months. One of the farm employees is going to take me up on my offer to send them to school. They'll still work part time, but I'll need a full time employee to take over their role. They do general farm labor.

I could pay my farm crew absurdly little. Look up federal minimum wage for farm workers and it'll blow your fucking mind (if you don't already know). However, with me, pretty much everyone I employ starts at $20 an hour. (Not true for the franchises. I have little control over that.)

$20 bucks an hour is probably a pretty decent wage in the boondocks of Maine

It's an excellent wage. Federal minimum wage for farmers has changed. My bad. The minimum is $7.25. I thought it was lower, but it's not - though some caveats with overtime exist. I'm not surprised that I was a little mistaken. We don't pay anywhere close to minimum wage.

And, yeah... You can live quite well on $20 an hour in Maine.
