Impossible??? bad business thought process. You see impossible, I see opportunity.
What to do?? Well, the solution sure doesn't include getting the government involved...anyone come up with one example of a bureaucrat actually improving the economy?
Let's put it another way: it's a free market as it should be. For those of us that excavate, we have two choices. Raise our prices to what it actually costs to do the work and make a profit (and do you really want someone telling you how MUCH profit you can make..?) or don't, and starve and live in your trailer. The customer at the other end, has a choice too: hire someone and get the work done, or don't. I personally would rather hire someone that was charging the price that will keep them in business long term...they usually do better work too.
And before those whiners start talking about how they can't get work if they raise the price, I say it's time to go work for someone else.
This bandwagon people want to jump on in knocking the profits the oil companies make is full of retards... Next, it will be the profits the grocery store makes, then the profits the dry cleaner makes, then the profits the paperboy makes... Careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
