Well, since we are seeing a great shortage of old people and since the number of people retiring is declining rapidly and since the Bush Administration began shipping all of our old people to China and India, this woman's problems are only going to get worse. /sarc Now, tell me. Why would she have lost her job and be unable to find another in the one major boom industry in America? |

| #2 Reading this story, I can't help but wonder if some local pol or revenue officer will also read the same story and come crashing down on this poor woman for not having proper permits, business license, health inspector's certification, etc. Yep - I'm wondering the same thing. I can sympathize with her though - she does have the gumption to start doing something that pays directly. All hail private enterprise, seeing a need and meeting it. After so many years of assured income, it is a leap of faith in yourself to go out and scrounge jobs. I can sympathize with the effort it takes, since it is what I have been doing for the last two years or so; staying a half-step ahead of the bills, part-timing here and there, selling some of my books here, building a website for someone there ... this kind of life isn't for sissies. |
