Scams and Side Hustles

My latest idea is to transition to a blog about the many means of getting by. The economy has left me with a decent job that pays very little, I am just able to pay my bills and buy food without a dollar left to put into savings. Lately, I've been picking friends brains for ideas on lucrative side hustles. Most ideas that seem viable (meaning not requiring a whole lot of work) require a lot of risk, and are very illegal. I would never waste my time judging folks who are doing what they can to get by, in fact I believe I should be as supportive as possible as a means of solidarity with the masses scrapping by under this shit-system. So here I start the scam and side hustle blog.

(update) SCRATCH THAT IT'S BEEN DONE, KINDA - Scamplots -may need some tweaking...

No man fails, or can fail, who so grandly gives himself and all he has to a righteous cause. No man, who in his hour of extremest need, when on his way to meet an ignominious death, could so forget himself as to stop and kiss a little child, one of the hated race for whom he was about to die, could by any possibility fail. -Fredrick Douglass

The Women Militants of Asgarda


IN THE UKRAINE, A COUNTRY WHERE FEMALES ARE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL TRAFFICKING AND GENDER OPPRESSION, a new tribe of empowered women is emerging. Calling themselves the “Asgarda,” the women seek complete autonomy from men. Residing in the Carpathian Mountains, the tribe is comprised of 150 women of varying ages, primarily students, led by 30 year-old Katerina Tarnouska.
