The United States federal government requires a wage of at least $2.13 per hour be paid to employees who receive at least $30 per month in tips.[4] If wages and tips do not equal the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour during any week, the employer is required to increase cash wages to compensate.[5]
It's simple, less than minimum wage if spread out through 6000 hours, yet I think many people would take the job.
Think about it: a person will get $20 000, free room and board, where wt:thon can spend all day playing soccer, basketball, pool, or video games—aside from 312 hours of improv—for which thon gets an additional $9 360.
He will pay them $9 360 to work 312 hour to ad lib act.
He might have other jobs for them. They don't have to do them, but if they do, he will pay them $30/hr.
He will pay each $20 000 to be there 6000 hours in that year, and (if clothed) to wear a uniform for all of that year. Besides that they can lounge around and do nothing.
"Sorry dude, I ain't gonna die just to please you. You talk like a sicko. What's the matter? You didn't get breastfed? Did a Jewish black guy steal your girlfriend? Were you bullied by pretentious left-of-center liberals? Is your father a psycho who beat your mother to a pulp in front of you when you were a child, like Klara Hitler might have been? Is your mother still alive? Did your comrades and you drive your half-neice, the one a little over half your age, and the one you might have been having sex with to suicide or perhaps kill her? Maybe you should get some counseling before you do anything stupid, or even more stupid."
