How much are you willing to pay for skilled craftsman?
How about the building, tools, engineering and support staff to keep those skilled workers working producing the toys we all love. Most of us do not need these toys, we just want them.
Most folks on this forum that love the hobbies they pursue would not be able settle for an $8.00 to $12.00 per hour job. I have operated from both side of the business ledger and know how expensive it is to produce a product.
Just my 2 cents.
