It's intended as a per-machine cost.
I'm afraid the idea is dissolving quickly though; the money's just
not there, and I can't 'spin up' the required 68 contracts to get me
full time with it, while working this hellish third-shift schedule.
I've already signed on to become a truck driver; I'd make three times
the pay that I am now, love to drive, and it'd give me that 'universal'
skill I could take with me.
I've been working on this for about two years; it's because I'm
grasping at straws that I've gone public with the idea. I was hoping
something would show up in public analysis that would make it work.
