  I was thinking more like 20 percent markup as a profit margin. Other fees not included yet

    None of that makes any sort of sense, it just sounds like you heard some “business words” and are saying them without knowing what they mean…

      Chatbots speak in coherent sentences and don’t mess up the number formatting. I think they are using their own words.

      That would be plain this.

      No that would not be plain this!

      My grade in business, just a few weeks ago…

      My post is supposed to illustrate some baseline. I used just an off-the-cuff, arbitrary yet heuristic figure from my experience working in, of all things, elderly care. I was a nurses aide and certified as a one-on-one for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients, helping the nurses feed and bathe, keeping the patients occupied…. Walking walking walking… and not falling out of bed etc.

      I did this for 5 years.

      So if you are running a business, and you have nurse employees, there are expenses, overhead, risks, and profit to take for your efforts. What should that number be? I picked 20% in the hopes someone would give perhaps a more realistic figure. Instead I get cut down.

      And no, Im not copy and pasting anything.

      What strikes me is, who can pay 3000 a month to watch granny? and that was just nurse salary, not meds, housing, etc. My numbers are made up, I chose 22 per hour for nurse pay, I have no idea what it really is, just wanted to get to get something going and im looking for others to post more data, though the conclusion will probably be the same… its a no win situation unless you’re extremely wealthy, granny dies.
