Wow, I started to feel guilty there for a picosecond or so and in that time I considered hanging up my Medium commenting quill. Don’t worry I’m over it.

I think all this labeling and assumptive activity online is more about our so-called full employment economy than any deep feelings or beliefs regarding all the posting going on. So we are said to be witnessing and experiencing a reported full-employment economy, (not to mention other data like how GNP is calculated), yet we now have a population that has switched from people involved in careers to everyone as some kind of self-employed-contract-entity. Sure, if you’ve spent 10s of thousand obtaining professional letters after your name, the income outlook might seem a little more legacy like, but I’d say those folks now represent a shrinking segment of the population over time.

If there was a clear way to truely tabulate individual incomes today in this economy my belief is that if aggregated per individual the results would be startling, enough so to indicate or outright predict a coming consumer crash, not trying to scare I just think we are in an accelerating trend to crash the consumer economy. Meanwhile, due to a lack of economic certainty, in this self-employed era, there is always a sub-segment that will engage in any sort of posting/marketing craziness for a few pennies here or there, real rock bottom stuff. There is enough activity in this self-employed segment that the numbers easily spawn bad actors? (including online sites from anywhere that will sell thousands of items for 1 penny)?! (yeah, sounds like the Brooklyn Bridge is for sale, again)

Let me do a little silly riffing fabrication here:

The other day my partner of well over 40 years came up to me and asked, check which box you’d prefer for weekly meals for 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 days per week? Food prep as a service, homestyle……..😉 (This is what I mean about the subscription craze (changing times?!) we’ve been seeing the last several years, anything IS happening)

See, individual economic behavior is exacerbating this contemporary mega-subscription rush leading to some eventual economic dystopia at a super high speed if you’ all didn’t notice already.

Last crackpot idea of the day for this post: instead of a government-guaranteed income, simply have the government issue each citizen a bonafide MBA. Simple, done.
