We’re not allowed to charge less either. Just 2 months ago, the tolls were set to be half what you’d pay on the Ambassador (the only place anyone’s going to find those “compared regional averages”).

At this point, I’m just assuming the USofA’s “regional economic development fund” is the Moroun family’s piggy bank.

Are you one of the investors she expects to fund her new company?

Has she paid you yet for the social media work you’ve already done for her company?

has almost finished investor funding… plus a percentage of the company. If the company works

Careful.

If you have a percentage of her company, are you also on the hook to pay her if it goes tits up? Is there any way you end up in debt if her company fails?

IME they don’t care if they tank their businesses and lose investor money. Claiming bankruptcy ruins poor people, but rich people somehow just give themselves a golden parachute, file the bankruptcy papers like clocking out on a normal workday, and they move on to the next thing. They don’t mind losing other people’s investments, because it’s just money. Meanwhile the staff show up to abandoned offices with locked doors.

Get another set of eyes on that contract if you haven’t already. Any richie-rich would, and if she’s weird about it, it’s possibly a sign she’s messing with you.

Having worked in the homes of very wealthy folk, I can confirm that “move fast and break things” was always missing the part where the rich bastard’s nanny/gardener/housekeeper/etc takes the blame for shit being broken and gets their pay docked, while the Baby Elon-Zuck-Altmans of the world get an ice cream and a snuggle. Same shit happens when they grow up to be Big Boys.
