In my working life as a tradesman, boy I had to bend to everyone everyday it was all a balancing act of trying to keep all running best one could, I got shafted many a time with people who were trying to take total advantage of me on every level.
How's this for a put down, a builder pleads me to do a house for him, but he is going bankrupt and knows he may and has no regards to pay me at all for it. typical ! I have seen that many a time but he could not pay, I considered myself lucky in that, because he got me to start another but I had an dispute with the owner, who did not know what he was talking about at all. he had a crap product that he demanded me to use and silly ideas trying to over rule me and the builder as well, so I just said nothing and packed up and walked out with 2 days work down the drain and I was glad and when I found out old mate just had gone broke, I was glad because I did not get screwed for 2 houses.

I warned old mate the builder to be carful of the 2008 climate but he pressed on and lost one million dollar job coming up and then another so, it hammered him into a position that he was caught out, he was young and did not understand such things, as he thought he was doing so well. so many of them do not know the foundations of all such things, as they are dreaming or blind behind the wheel with no navigational regards and end up hitting a sallow sand bank they did not see coming.
I would have my wife complain about people she had to deal with in the Bank and mates on a wage complain about whatever, but I said just wait till you get stung for thousands of dollars out of pocket and then come and talk to me. I would get, oh someone was rude to me today ! boy I got that everyday not to mention they were costing me money as well and disregard of my work, that was like the norm. I would have to spend hours rectifying there damage. it was like putting your wallet on the bar and all took advantage of it as they seen fit.
Now how's this, I point out to the builder that I have made $6 an hour on his job, in my hand when I have worked it all out, that's a fact and I get back in anger from such No ! you made good money. I just told you what I truly made in my hand fool, because I always work such out you moron. I know what I am truly making, I am not driving blindly like a builder that takes advantage of all around them to keep themselves a float and has not a clue of where he truly stands on a job. because the clown is only looking at things from the gross amount. not to mention that I know the difference between a good builder and a bad one to work for and to get back, No you don't. Yes I do ! I started in this game from 1971 and to be hung out to dry as if I was some no hopper bludger who has never worked a day in his life, yet such a one is being molly coddled to and treated with all respect.
Such is just Typical on todays generation, rewarding the trash, in fact they look up to them, because they are trash. Biden trash !
