The courts cost too though. Also there's your share of general government
overhead. You may cover variable direct costs but perhaps not indirect and
fixed costs.
I take it you are unpaid but working. Couldn't we reverse the process and
pay you not to work? Sort of like protection money. It would be worth it I
think.
