You can’t just say, “I have 20 people living in my home, just make the check out to me.” The dam company is going to be verifying who they’re paying.

The dam company is going to be verifying who they’re paying.

Are they, though?

Or are they just going to sign off and pass the bill on to the government?

Precisely. I'm not buying this one at all. In a third world country, they're paying peanuts, these companies don't give a fuck if it's $50 or $100.

And seriously underpay.
