The premise, right or wrong, is that you can work the entire week and get paid insane rates. Do that for a couple of years and you can retire early. In theory, that sounds awesome and achievable. In practice, I have never actually seen the insane rates materialize so you end up working 24/7 for a pittance and then get fucked. I would be supportive of regulations that allowed that extreme end of work at double or triple pay so that people that want to do this can do it with protections. The dude isn’t saying that, though. If he actually had to pay reasonable rates for people working 24/7 he’d lose his mind.
