Having nothing, nothing can he lose.
Don't look at construction. That's why there were so many job applications. They all came out of construction people thrown out of work.
What jobs should I be looking at?
I heard this story on AP that a school in Ohio got 700 job applications for a janitor job.
Texas isn't so bad, but I'm not sure.
This forum is about practical advice on the current economic crisis. How did it happen? Where is it going? And how can we come through it safely?
This is a good one. Thanks Mark for posting it.
Atlas Shrugged is a novel by Ayn Rand, first published in 1957 in the United States. It was Rand's last work of fiction before concentrating her writings exclusively on philosophy, politics and cultural criticism.

- Favorite Book:
- "They Only Looked Dead: Why Progressives Will Dominate the Next Political Era"
- Why is it your favorite book:
- Despite the title, this book is less a contrarian projection of the future than a savvy if incomplete analysis of our current political landscape. The writer suggests that our current political chaos derives from multiple crises-of economics, politics, morality and our national purpose-with interesting parallels to upheavals the country faced in the late 19th century, culminating in the first Progressive era. And the "Anxious Middle"-the swing group in elections-is pandered to. He even says President Clinton, even without his gaffes, would have faced intractable divisions within his party, that Newt Gingrich represents a new breed of technology-oriented conservatism and that journalism must adapt to promote a more serious level of debate. Dionne argues quite plausibly that the new conservatism will fail because it "seeks to define away" the problems we face, yet his vision of a new Progressivism ignores some practical steps, such as a move away from identity politics, that must presage such change.
