      That was exactly my thought, get a guy on the tire, and 3 with me on suspension in teams of 2. Then redistribute them as jobs are done, one hit of time up front and just focus on the goal after that

    Good money at a place you dont necessarily agree with(who completely agrees with any employer) vs idk if ill make rent at a small place i 100% agree with(maybe anyway too soon to really tell).
    Also, more views in these first few hours dont count for crap. You have to keep them coming. I aint hearing any of that crap. Its a marathon not a sprint.
    People are acting like big time is a rival and it's not. Jer and jobe said as much.
