I'm sure there was some family tragedy and not terribly inept business plan in place that was to blame. /rolleyes

So everything was just fabulous in your business, meaning that your claim that other business owners ruined your business was just, what....bull****? Yup.
the only person making stuff up here is you at this point.
given this post right here says there is more to this story than what you are saying.
while i suspect a few of the people you were in competition with hired illegals workers the majority of them didn't.
I know a lot of people in the construction business as i use to be in it myself.
In your first post you said you went out of business because you couldn't compete with people.
that is what YOU said.
now you are changing the narrative because you got called out on it.
the problem is that you were paying a guy 15-20 an hour to do dry wall or electric or whatever and you competition was paying 9-12 for basic labor.
you claim to be all this quality and stuff and if it was the case you would have stayed in business and not had to close.
your story doesn't make any sense
then why i call you out on union wages you say i don't know what i am talking about.
the average apprentice pay in X field is usually 15 bucks an hour, or close to that. give or take a dollar or 2.
the standard pay for a labour in construction with little or no experience is about 10 non-union.
False
False. Stop making things up.
rof I never claimed the majority of people I was in competition with hired illegals. that's some **** you made up.
I said the people who undercut me did. Reading is fundamental. Learn how to do it and you might actually be able to address actual points made rather than **** you made up.
bull****. You are lying now.
Stop lying or else learn how to read.
No it is not. you must be illiterate as I never said anything remotely close to that.
I've changed nothing. you are simply illiterate.
you don't know what you are talking about. Stop pretending to have a clue when you obvious do not.
You are clearly illiterate, as the reason I closed shop was clearly stated.
***hint*** (not that you'll be able to read it): it had nothing to do with a lack of business.
Presumably due to your illiteracy issue.
Because you don't know what you are talking about, as evidenced by your claims about union wages.
What Is the Pay Scale for a Union Carpenter? | Chron.com
As you can see, "The average annual salary for a union carpenter was $76,000 as of 2013, according to Careerbliss. This equates to $36.53 per hour, based on 40-hour workweeks. "
When you herp, you gotta derp. Now try to learn what the **** you are talking about.
I see you had to go with the "little or no experience" cop out. I'm sure that your fake-business model for your made-up company was ****ing brilliant considering you only hired people with "little to no experience". I'm sure you paid yourself $8 an hour given that standard, since you are so freakin' inexperienced you actually suck away the experience of others and leave a gaping vacuum of incompetence in your wake.
Seriously, learn how to read and then comment on what I say. Until you learn simple ****ing English, you can't have a written conversation.
the fact is other companies paid a wage that was typical in the area. you chose to pay way more and couldn't get the bids.
it had little to do with illegal workers and more to the point you over priced your labor.
That isn't our philosophy at all. It is not to take what people have earned from them. It is, in fact, to prevent that from happening. Almost all of us earn a lot more than we actually get. Our efforts are not the paltry toiling that our capitalist market ideas cause them to be. The act of building and maintaining this great society means that a person deserves full participation in it. It is not built by a few extraordinary people. It is built by the labor of everyone. And giving the vast majority of the rewards that everyone earns to a small group of powerful people, which is what we're doing, is insane and stupid. We need to stop letting them take it from us.It is progressivism that is, in contrast to the majority of the last ten thousand years of human history, trying to get everyone the rewards that they actually earn
I never claimed other owners ruined my business, so yes, YOUR made up claim that that happened is, indeed, bull****.
Oh that's right. You just claimed they harmed your business.
