Has anyone else noticed less money out there on the streets?

34. doesn't matter, spend some time on elance or guru.com

it's a global economy

you're a writer, so is kenny from bangladesh but he'll write 500 words for $1

you're a coder, the same

you're a cook, if you don't pay off the right people and have $1 million (not a typo) worth of insurance you're out of business

the three things i just stated are actual events that either happened to me or people close to me (i have never cooked commercially but 2 diff friends had their businesses shut down damn fast for reason #3)

any job that you can do right here on the ground so you're not competing with the $1 day guy, you have to know who to pay off w.out getting arrested

if you're an honest person it is truly frightening this time of century

and even whores and strippers earn less than they did 30 years ago, there is nothing a woman can do that is considered to be of much financial value (what is the icon for head in hands?) -- we were closer to financial freedom in 1978!

if there is anything you can do, don't be a free lancer, if you have some problem in your background where you have no choice, well, give me ideas and i'll look out for ideas for you, i honestly don't know what else to suggest, if you cannot for whatever reason be hired by the man this society judges you as worthless
