Most of the Builders would expect to make the usual amounts of Money, like about One-Third, to One-Half, which would normally be forthcoming, in the form of Profit.
This would be in return for Designing the Homes, and in Helping to Build, the various Different-Sized Homes, with a Crew that works hard and gets paid.
Right. The Incentives all have to be in place. But someone has to come up with the Initial-Funds, to Buy the Materials.
Who will Dig-Deep into their own Pockets, to Buy the First-Load of Building-Materials? The Builders will have to come up, with Enough-Money, to Buy the First-Load of Building-Materials, and other expenses.
But then they will need to be Reimbursed, as we go, by the Money-Goddess, after the Receipts have been presented. But then after each of the Jobs have been completed, then they will get their One-Third or more in Profit, as the Designer/Builder.
That kind of Profit is not out of line, in the Building-Trades. But the Builder has to have the Seed-Money, to buy the First-Load, of Building-Materials.
We have to have some Seed-Money, just to get started, and to get through that First-Week. And that is what we mean, by Sustainable-Capitalism. Making the Money Work, for the People, who do the Creative-Work, to begin with, using our own Money.
In a Fantasy-World everyone makes the Same-Money, but not so in the Real-World. But a Good-Worker, who has Many-Skills, might make a lot more than a Decent-Worker, with No-Skills.
And so we have to get the Incentives-Right, but if we do, then that will Create-Jobs, and that will help to Support our Local BioRegional-Economy.
Getting any of these very Basic-Financial-Relationships Wrong will just lead to Failure and Collapse, which was Just-Barely-Averted, at the Farm, in Tennessee. - T
