      When you pay people $8.50 an hour, you get your money's worth. This will often escape the calculus of libertarians because their understanding of economics and management are based on dubious ideas of the value of labor. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1155889383511343104 …

      72/ I have tried all manner of incentives. One was "+$20 for each day you work 7 hours, +$100 for each week you work 30 hours". These bonuses stacked, so you could clear $200. They mostly didn't achieve them. Because that would be hard.https://twitter.com/skbpf/status/1155965620367659008 …

      73/ The Very Bad Manipulative Libertarian Farm Hand tried to renegotiate the incentives so that I just boosted the hourly rate even if he didn't hit the hour goals. I replied "my system incentivizes hours. What does yours incentivize?"

          75/ I'm quite realistic. I've managed employees for 20 years. I pay them well and I give them breaks. But this one was literally working at 10% of the speed of me.

          You're the opposite of the farmers in my boss's stories lol You: "I pay you to work, do so and with effort." Farmer from boss's stories: "Son, you can work harder & bale hay faster but I got you all day and there will be more to bale tomorrow too so maybe make smarter choices."

          So an additional ~$6.50 an hour, if you worked 7hr days each work week. Sounds pretty darn good

          Dad is also a small business owner in a rural area. He pays well for manual labor, yet gets employees that won’t show up or who show up stoned. Several instances of overdoses on the job, very little ambition. The few decent employees have risen to the top and have good careers.
