You are a tribe that has recently begun a labor-intensive agricultural form of existance. A tribe the next valley over sees your farms and raids your village. They kill your warriors, rape your women, and streal your food.

The next time they come back, you are ready, and you kill a bunch of them. Most flee, but a few are too wounded to run away.

What do you do with these people?

1) Let them hobble away/escourt them back to their tribe, where they will presumably regain their health and then raid your village again.
2) Kill them and be done with it.
3) Restrain them so they can’t raid you anymore but also so you don’t have to kill them, as they are begging for their lives.

If you choose 3, then what? You have some kind of cage or shackles for them, and they do nothing all day while they are brought food and water? No one in the village will stand for that while they are going out and hunting, foraging, and farming. So what do you do with your prisoner? You make them work - probably doing the shittiest jobs - in order to earn their keep instead of getting their head smashed with a rock.

Hence, slavery. Then, do it for several thousand years, and it is part of your culture.

As the other poster noted, they are quoting you for a lot of maybes.

But also, a big part of the price is simply supply and demand. There is a shortage of experienced, skilled laborers, and it isn’t going away anytime soon. If you are dealing with an independent contractor, for example, your price needs to not only compete against other potential projects in terms of time/effort, but also must compete against the alternative of “what if I just fucked off and hung out with my friends instead?” The beauty of having experience in skilled labor (right now at least) is that your skills are in short supply, but are largely interchangeable with anyone else with the same skills. So if you were to get fired - or just quit because you don’t feel like working - there is no hurry to find another job. You know you can find another job almost instantly. Which is why I know several contractors who just work summers, and then fuck off and go rock climbing the rest of the year.

I would be pretty wary of using it with that amount of voltage. If the electricity routes through you, it would probably give you more than a good buzz.

Based on the fact that it made your fingers tingle before you replaced the motor, I doubt the new motor or your installation of it is the cause of this issue. You probably have some kind of short inside the machine itself. Best bet is to crack open the machine (when unplugged, obvs). This could be the most dangerous part - make sure you can identify capacitors on the circuit board and find a youtube video about safely discharging them, as capacitors can store dangerous amounts of electrical charge even when the circuit is unplugged, and discharging them accidentally can fuck you up. Then look for obvious loose connections. If you don’t see that, you will have to start searching for the short. Set your DMM to measure resistance. Search the motor component with one lead and the rest of the machine’s circuit with the other. As long as resistance is a real number, you have a closed circuit and the short is on the circuit the leads are on. When resistance jumps to infinity, you are no longer in a connected circuit, and the short is somewhere else. Often, shorts will read as significant amounts of resistance, as the marginal connection between two components is not enough to allow free-flowing current. Note that this creates a new danger - even if you don’t electrocute yourself with the machine during use, it is possible it will catch on fire as electricity running through a marginal short heats up the components. If you are lucky, you can identify the short by noting the leads have non-zero resistance in one spot, but 0 reistance upstream and downstream of that spot. Then you might look real close and see a loose wire or a burn mark. But maybe this is just an expected bit of resistance that was designed into the circuit. It’s a bit of an art, takes some patience, and if the solution isn’t immediately obvious, there is about a 70% chance you are wasting your time.

Ideally, as the other user said, you would also install a ground during your troubleshooting so you don’t electrocute yourself in the future if it happens again.
