At the end of the first functioning year, you could easily have recouped most of your added expenses.

False.

Again, we work projects already paying overtime. To think we are ignorant and don't value time and early cash flow is insulting.

There’s no way to cut the time needed to become operational.

I have not claimed that. I have claimed it isn't free.

You company has already hired every qualified welder in the nation? Really?

What do you suppose would happen to the wage rate if one company tried to hire every qualified welder in the nation for a couple years?

Nobody said you were ignorant. I simply stated where there is a will to do something, it can be done. You evidently don’t agree. So be it.

Yes you have claimed it isn’t free. And yet you have also said you couldn’t recoup most of your costs in the first year.

What do you suppose would happen if you hired men to do the extra shifts that had been out of work, and would gladly do the job for less than normal wages?

You don’t know do you.
