In this case, you&#8217;re losing $142 because you&#8217;re worth $150 an hour and you&#8217;re doing an $8 an hour job. You could give somebody 10 of those and that&#8217;s $80 for 10 hours and you go do $150 an hour work for 10 hours. You make $1,500. You give $80 of it to the employees and you keep the other $1,300. This is a no-brainer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The guy literally laid down in his office. He said, &#8220;No wonder I&#8217;m so tired&#8230;&#8221; He got off the treadmill.
