This is not a defense of the TMO in this instance, Bongo Brazil, but 
you're wrong when you wrote: 

"That doesn't remotely meet the minimum wage."

Well, actually, it does:

Assume 30 days in a month, less 4 days off = 26 working days.

26 working days times 4.5 hours of work a day = 117 hours total work 
per month.

117 hours times the future minimum wage (effective July 24, 2009) of 
$7.25/hour = $848.25 mimimum wage for the month.

$848.25 less the $500.00 minimum they pay you = $348.25

...and what is the reasonable market value of a room rented for one 
month in the Peaceful Palate?

I don't know what the rental market is in Iowa but, gosh, I'd LOVE to 
pay less than $12.00 a day (which is what $348.25 divided by 30 days 
equals) for a room!  The last hotel room I stayed in (in Baltimore at 
the Sheridan) was $200 a day!

And we haven't even factored in the 4% on top of everything they will 
pay you.

Again, I'm not a fan of the TMO or its slave-labor policies but it is 
certainly not what you suggest it is, Bongo.
