13/ I paid the neighbor kid $12/hr to ride my riding mower. He flaked out after once or twice. Would rather watch TV or play Nintendo or whatever. https://twitter.com/CypressRevival/status/1155892992517005314 …

30/ Rural NH. I asked teen employees at 3 different stores "hey, I'm looking to hire farm hands. Is XYZ a fair rate?" Every one of them: "OMG, yes, I make QRS; that's a great rate". /shrug https://twitter.com/form_break/status/1155900165078827008 …

31/ Amusingly, I'm getting a very very libertarian response from all sorts of people who are not libertarians (reactionaries, lefists, etc): "There's a simple supply / demand curve. If you pay more you, you get better labor." I'm a libertarian! I'm quite sympathetic to this!

32/ BUT BUT BUT reality is more complicated than models. Models INTENTIONALLY strip away all sorts of details to make things simple. Cows are not perfectly spherical. Surfaces are not frictionless. Search and training costs for employees are not $0.

33/ Not sure if you're aware but when I talk about the situation with farmhands on my particular farm, I don't actually care what the labor market is like in Berlin Maine or Montepellier Vermont. https://twitter.com/form_break/status/1155902427746508801 …

@Logo_Daedalus's argument, I'm decided. Going to fire the guy tomorrow. Good feedback, Logo. Thanks. You helped me reach a decision I otherwise wouldn't have.Show this thread -

52/ You're not following the plot here, Logo. I already DO do most of it myself. I plant the garden, I weed the raised beds, I till the pumpkin patch, I slaughter and butcher the pigs, I cut the firewood, I service the tractor, I fertilize the lawn >https://twitter.com/Logo_Daedalus/status/1155940586337132545 …

53/ What's changing this week is that instead of working 8 hours per week on the farm and getting 1.5 X units of labor done (0.5 from farmhand working 30 hours), I'm gonna fire him and get 1.0 X units of labor done. Save some money too!
