17. What are the workers' employers billing Whitefish to use their workers?

That's what I would like to see. I don't really care what the worker's hourly rate is, that means nothing. When my company used to loan me out to other corporations for projects they would typically bill them $175 an hour for the service and $150 a day for per diem.

Eventually all this outrage will just run off all these companies that are capable of orchestrating such projects, the people really losing are the ones without power who probably don't care what the costs are right now.
