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.
Again, the industry is already paying inflated wages for those people and still cannot get enough people that can actually do the work.
