I'm going to attack this in a logical and beneficial way. Let's say I got a son named hmongrock and he lives in Wis. I would take him for a spin in San Jose to work for a few so he can get a taste of the $15 threshold. Then take him back to wis and see his working morality has changed.
Once you are at a level, it is hard to work for less unless you give no fawk cuz you retired.
Sounds about right?
