Date: April 23rd, 2024 12:17 PM Author: drab wagecucks stead In my area, blue-collar bros like this have so much work they just arbitrarily reject large swaths of potential customers.
They should probably just jack up their prices until demand levels out, but the services they offer are so necessary and demand likely so inflexible that they'd have to gouge the shit out you before it made a dent in demand, and then every customer would (rightly) be a whiny little bitch who's a pain in the ass to deal with.
I've been trying to get a water softener replaced, a tankles water heater installed, and some drywall repaired, and dudes are just clearly blowing me off. I had to fucking beg to get some dudes to take my $27K for a new HVAC system last year. |

Date: April 23rd, 2024 12:43 PM Author: drab wagecucks stead Everyone used to always poast about how much better / more lucrative it would be to be a blue-collar dude than a lawyer, but I feel like a lot of smug heebs and white-collar-brainwashed yuck-yucking cattle-brained goyim on xo (myself included) can't come to grips with that being the real story and so silently internally reject it as forcememe flame.
But it's really clear to me that if you took the intellect and business acumen it takes to be a low-six-figure lawyer and applied it to a trade, you could make way more money. As a business proposition, some of this shit like "well and septic services" is more akin to being a public-defender contractor than being some extensively-networked and -marketed cslg-type. |

had to practically beg for the quote I already paid for
called them like once every 2 days (eventually found out I would never have heard back) got a quote after calling them over and over, like 2 days after the call later in my email, massively markedup , literally just a blank "invoice" w the most barebones text next to it in a column
no idea how they arrived at any numbers, its so high theyre hoping i stfu or just pay up? this is after taking all the initative and forcing them to deal with me
supposed to get started today
2 hours past time no show no call
Im an 'asshole' btw for expecting a morsel of energy from these people btw, this is bonkers lol |

Date: April 29th, 2024 2:11 PM Author: Arousing university codepig I have moved to 100% mexican illegal labor. You can get your pick of skilled guys from the HD parking lot for any manual job. And if you know one latino handyman he can hook you up with more skilled guys like gas, electric, plumbing easily. They are all busy but have the “money is money” work ethic and will come. None are licensed or bonded of course so you need to pick and choose the work they do and decide on your risk tolerance. I wouldnt have them do a huge project but like fixing a small pipe issue or whatever is fine. Most of them do a lot of work for licensed white GCs so they know and do work to code. Have them explain what code is for whatever job and how they meet it, and then go look it up yourself to see if they were right. They always have been in my experience. If it’s work you doubt or need a permit for you can usually pull the permit yourself as the homeowner and then tell the guy you did it DIY and just watch as he inspects it and what to look for and he will sign off.
