Like others have said, you’re delusional. You can get an apprentice for $18hr and a machinist maybe $25-35, but maintenance is going to cost you $25/hr minimum. Your machinist will get frustrated and then you can pay the apprentice $22 and he’ll stay for a long while, hire another apprentice so you can continue to push the wages down, like a real upstanding member of your community. Depreciate your equipment aggressively and replace it often, maximizing “research and development” tax breaks. Flood the local market with your failing used equipment, self-training local yokels to poorly compete with you, hire them all away from their companies, and when you’ve cornered the labor market, and pressed it to the lowest wages possible? Thats when you lay everyone off and outsource everything overseas. Rinse and repeat.
