Why do we have to "Work so Hard" to make a living?

141. Indeed.

I keep telling my friends and fellow activists that the Dark Market investment strategies have not yet 'hit the fan' and that things will definitely get worse before we'll see a significant recovery.

On a personal note, I have been un- or under-employed for the past three and a half years. I no longer have enough income to maintain a separate household, and must move in with a friend who lives almost a thousand miles north. I am almost finished selling or freecycling most of my belongings.

I teach math (most recently, college algebra), but I cannot get an administrator to interview me. I have a master's and I am 56, so I would 'cost' too much to hire.

My students routinely tell me that I make learning math fun and easy, so I will continue to find subversive ways to teach. Our children deserve to have a solid foundation in math, so that they can use their critical thinking skills to help redirect our species AWAY from the abyss of self-immolation.
