All I heard was an offer for work @ 14 bucks an hour. Did it also included room and board? At least until Jackel saves enough money to find a place on his own?

I donno. I need details.
Doesn't vale live in California? If so, that's an offer of $4 an hour everywhere else but Boston.
Which means, jackel can't find a gig making $4 bucks.
That's not the problem here. Clearly, he is like CB and rocking some type of disability tip and thus, it is dumb to leave doing nothing all the time for working hard and getting your shit pushed in by taxes only to make the same as doing nothing.
The key, is that there is no upward mobility and networking in the doing nothing scene.
You gotta get up, get out and get something-outkast

So, the offer is 470k, room and board, and a new pair of shoes?
And all Angelo has to do is fight him?
The shout box only goes back a few posts, so I genuinely have no idea wtf is going on.

I was willing to offer him 12 an hour, 25 hours a week guaranteed. Sometimes we go 60+, as I did last week.
Since I rehab homes, I spend a lot of time going back and forth to pick up supplies, keep my crew stocked, fed and content. Needed someone to do the running around and also the clean up on the sites. Keeping tabs on my tools if I have to leave some there. Lots of landscaping. Lots of dump hauls. Calling the city for permits, utility transfers, ordering shit... The work is there.
But to be fair, I can't put the guy on the books, I just can't afford that. Not at 12/hr. My word is my word though. For 9.50/hr I'll consider putting him on the books.
I also offered to house the guy for 60 days. And give him the keys to my beater station wagon to be able to complete these tasks.
To be quite honest, the more I think about it, the more I'd rather just hire someoNE local with thier own home and ride. But I'm just trying to be a nice guy and help out someone that claimed to only have 14 bucks to his name and close to suicide because of it. I don't really need anyone staying at my place to be quite honest.
But...much like I thought...Dude just does not want to work. And that's fine, its his life he can live it as he chooses to do so. Not my business.

That was a sweet deal. Although CA is expensive, but that would had get him going. He combined that off the books salary with his disability check and that would be a nice figure to start with.

That's what I was thinking. Combine whatever hand out he is getting now with 60 days of work and call it a day I didn't expect him to try and move out here on his own, too fucking pricey. I just thought it would be a win-win for both sides. He makes a couple bucks and I get more time to put into other things.
BUT I Can picture this crazy son of a bitch teying some silly shit like claiming he broke his foot on my job site or something of the sort..
At which point and time an unknown perp in a monkey mask would legit put dude on disability.

That's a baller deal. Like premier said. Steal the disability from people that do work...and pay taxes. Learn the ropes. Maybe flip his own shit in a year or two, become a slumlord, etc.
It's a classic entry level position with opportunity to grow.
No way dude is taking that. Sounds like "work"

It's "guaranteed work" which I heard triggers anxiety in this guy.

What's up with jackel trying to fight vale?
Seems like a bully move after he gets offered a job.

I think he was drunk and upset over that 460k stiff.

Did we ever talked about the rules for the fights? Was it UFC rules or street rules?

I don't know about you guys, but I'd be pretty fucking pissed over losing 470k.

Where can I read up on the 470k? I mostly use the mobile version except a few times it doesn't work so I rarely read the shootout box

And just in case anyone doesn't get where I'm coming from.
I've been down and out. Most of us have. I was lucky enough to have met some amazing people over the years that showed me how to "make it happen". I met people that were getting it the way I wanted to get it. Watching and learning from them was the best thing that ever happened to me.
I feel that in life you have to be in both roles. You have to be the learner and at some point you have to be the teacher. I'm willing to show this guy what real hustle looks like. How it can be achieved while still having a toke and making it to the gym. Work hard, play hard, that kind of mindset. It's easier said than done but it can be done and it's much better to see it in person if you want to learn it.
But it's not for everyone. Some are happy binge watching television and posting all day. That's not for me to get in the way of, who am I to tell someone how to live thier life?

He wants me on the books I'll take it, after the shit I've been going through I won't do anything off the books for anyone anymore unless they pay ahead of time. He says his word is good, but I don't know him well enough for that. I thought my family's word was good and it wasn't, I'm just not trusting anyone anymore.

I don't 'want' you to begin with. I'm just trying to help you out. But you took a gift horse, forced it's mouth open and bitched about what the inside looked like. I can only imagine what you are like on the job.
It's all good though. I didn't need the headache you likely would have been.

Hell, I'd work for weed now.... Num, num, num.
How did I miss Jackel challenging Vale to a fight? Did that happen? If so, I offer $100 for the plane ride for either person.

Don't forget I offered $50.00 towards Jackel's travel.
I don't like the little Hellen Keller but the offer stands if someone else hooks him up with a job.
Hell, at this point I'd give him $100.00 just for showing me proof that he held a job for 90 days.
