Can the author or someone from MP fire provide further context or explain why these job openings drew such a frenzy of applicants -- 300 in 2 hours?

Moola for life. And get an hour a day on the job to work out.

And shop!

Start with 2 shifts a day - 10 and 14 hours. Drop the package 20% until the line to join is cut in half.

Use the money for education - kids. And roads.
