Yes, I was young and played street ball.  But I took the hit. I learned the short term cheat I did then and could've afforded, would have paid off handsomely with retirement and my SSI.  But you're WAY wrong on me not supervising well.  I just know that when I'd leave I'd CLOSELY estimate how much work was left.  If I'd be gone 1 Hr. with 2 men on site and I'd get back and 15 minutes of only one hour of work got done, and there were 2 men, that's  glaring  proof, so I'd wrap up the day, pay everyone cash take them back to the Red A. and never hire them again.  After 10 years, things started going down hill and I just learned it was more efficient to hire local people. But one thing is sure, I paid them more than anyone else did. They loved working with me. But I didn't steal from them, I didn't rape them and I didn't leave  them stranded without water to die in the desert, like a Coyote. I was THEIR American dream.
