You're confused. The guys who are working there literally earn $95 an hour and work 50 hour weeks. None of that other shit applies to them, because they are employees, not the business owners.
Woah brah. Sorry I offended you with my confusion.
250k a year to operate simple machinery. They're probably lying or not being honest with you about their pay, which is a super common thing people lie about. People lie to themselves about how much they make, to make themselves feel better.

No this actually requires in debt knowledge of legal documents
You must be thinking of Scrum Masters

Bro. I’m not offended, but you should stop talking about things you don’t understand. These employees are union, and the union rate is $95 an hour. How do I know the rate is real? I’m in management and we have to submit the certified payroll to the union to prove they are being paid correctly. Certified payroll is certified by a third party, not our company, not the union. When the union approved the payroll pay is released by the third party.

Bro, nobody in the union makes 250k a year
Rare for union workers to ever get close to even 100k

Nobody said they make $250k a year, that’s you making things up. I said they make $95 an hour for 50 hours a week. And that’s absolutely the union rate. Like many construction jobs they are very hit and miss and can be rather seasonal. So what they make annually is quite dependent on the quantity of work.

And for the record, we had the same crew running in Manhattan last year and they made $103 an hour there. Big city union rates can astronomical, especially in niche fields.

Crane operators can make $100/hr, but it takes a lot of years to get there.

Well paying jobs...
OP have you considered time travel? Youd only have to go to the mid 80s or the 60s

I am a coal miner and I made $110,000 last year. I load coal trains that are sent to the power plant. Also, monitor gauges and flip switches.... very easy. No under ground work. There are heavy equipment operators who have a more dangerous job, but still not under ground.
Make close to $40 an hour

In my area a really good general electrician can make $60 to $85 and that is not union. If you're specialized you can make even more. Plumbers, masons, and some other trades make much more. $95 isn't unheard of, especially in a big city.

Gotta feed the kids and keep them in clothes before you can worry about the environment. This is the fact that western countries don't understand about why the rainforest gets logged and cleared for farm land and why unsustainable development will continue.

I met the executive coach for the VP of the company I work for today. I'd say that's pretty fucking strange. As far as I can tell, all she does is convince the VP, who's actually an amazingly intelligent, and genuinely caring woman, that she's shit and needs to be better.

And you live off the grid I hope...
I understand that clearing forests for cattle is not good. Nor is over fishing already depleted fisheries.
But who will stand up and say, "Me, my family and my country will not eat"
Easy to speak out of ones ass, but the issue is a little deeper and more complicated than telling everyone else to go without. Whilst you drive what ever you want fly away on vacations and take the electric train to work.
