My wife and I are self employed have been for many years, JScattle nailed it on the head, we have many bosses we have to please. On top of who he mentioned and the stress of business, throw in answering to the Feds, State and County, City, they all are the "all knowing and wise" and will enforce their bright ideas ..... For the good of the people :bs: . Two years ago the city contracted an outfit to run camera line through every house and business in the city a few thousand lines. Looking for bad lines going from the building to the main line. Over 80% of the lines came back as bad. They wanted, demanded, we pay thousands of $ to replace the lines. You could go into the city and review the video but the new sewer lines had to be in by X date. Luckily a long time contractor in the area started reviewing the the video for contracted jobs and saw a problem. The City had put a 20 something young lady fresh out of school in charge of review and ticketing sewer lines. All the cracks she was seeing and determining the lines were bad were simply the joints where two sewer pipes came together. I'm sure the contractor received thousands more than just my heart felt thank you. Yes, sometimes I would like to beat my boss bloody.
