I’ve had a rough go of this market in general for the past 16 months, part of that is my background, part of that is the present insanity of the market. I know I have services and good that can be provided while sustaining my household.

But how do I accomplish this if I don’t have the funds, whether from my own enterprise or a working labor market? How can a company even find me to provide my IT services or computer science background or how could I do research or invent new good and services if I cannot be found or even hired due to mix of messed up market incentives and four or five middlemen between me and someone who can make that decision, assuming that person even has the strategic foresight to actually onshore their operations instead of racing to the bottom.

Where are their customers? Do they expect to have an empty market? Their fellow entrenched privileged actors can only buy so many goods and services, and they cannot make up for the millions of unemployed or underemployed, yours truly included.

Again, I am only one out of millions.
