Lightbulb Can you afford it?

Do you work at a place where you can afford their product or service?

I work at a company that sells our service to other companies, so no.

I provide services for the unhoused so the real question is can I not afford to live?

The Railroad doesn't sell anything. If they did there is no way I could afford it. We charge an insane amount for really easy services like interior welding repairs, unloading lumber rail cars, and power washing the inside of grain cars.

I’d imagine they sell property.

We are a local joint. We just have miles of track so if you want to store any cars, have your cars fixed, have something delivered, Come unload your product into various vehicles, build grain silos on our property and have us help you fill up rail cars, store your lumber on our property, We have tons of fall protection so if you want the top of your cars inspected you can bring them, we can also clean the inside out with a power washer and make them food grade, we own just about every piece of construction equipment imaginable and most of us have a cdl so we can haul your stuff or do off site jobs like building track, etc. There is a whopping 10 of us and we get together and think of ways to make money via rail and go ham. We have so many lumber companies storing their lumber on our property it's comical. We also have 2 grain companies with silos, a cement company , and ash company, etc attached to the rail we move their cars and charge them switching fees (basically $250 just to move one rail car when we get a 100 car grain train you can do the math). When we power wash we charge $750 a car. That is enough money to buy a new Power Washer every car we do and we will do over 100 a year. We made over a million in just unloading/storing/hauling lumber last year alone and that is only a 2 person operation. Everyday is crazy and I love it.

So we make testers for integrated circuits.
If I NEEDED it then I would own a company that's procured IC's and I would assume I could afford it.

Yes, and the 20% discount on top of the lowest fare i can find on my airline makes it even easier to afford.
