    10 hour shift would make $1800 per day
    17 hour shift Would make $3060 Per day

    I didn't add labor or expenses for this example - ($11-15 Per hour Depending on who I have running them)
    Our machines are not always active but we try to keep them running at least 5 days a week.

    punctuation is key - I read it as 10 hours a day = $1800 per day minus labor, 17 hours a day =$3060 per day - probably minus labor for this $ as well.

    "How to sustain a business at only $1 per minute?"

    Reminds me of a story-- years ago my cousin worked for a car battery place. Just a small shop, in an old gas station. He and one other guy were the only employees, and only one of them worked at a time, only takes one person to sell a battery... One day I asked him how many batteries he sold a day... Maybe 5 or 6... Ok wait a minute, so you're getting what, $80 a battery average, $480 sales, maybe 40% take, so around $190 profit, then minus your $100 wages and around $60 a day building overhead, that's only $50 a day profit!? How does the owner stay in business?

    -- He owns 1200 of these places...

    Where there's a will there's a way
