Members shared a wide variety of work-from-home experiences, with several describing the challenge of finding legitimate remote positions after years of searching, noting that many opportunities turn out to be scams or pay extremely low wages. Several members found success in self-employment, including organic farming and running a farmers market, mortgage underwriting, and selling unique items online, though many emphasized these paths require significant effort, flexibility, and often come with their own health challenges and financial uncertainties. A recurring theme was the need to advocate for oneself, adapt work to accommodate health limitations, and remain persistent despite setbacks like difficult working conditions or unreliable income.

A lot of things have gone to contractors. Call centers have moved overseas. If they're here & let you work from home they wAnna pay you like $5 / hr? Then too there's eBay & Amazon... but how much are you really going to make when everyone is diving to the lowest price? So you have to hunt unique items.

You are right about the food most people eat, I love the sign that say's pick fresh today or when you walk into a store and it is the middle of winter and they have a sign new Strawberries where i Ohio can you grow strawberry in the snow and cold ???
I have started a CSA myself, it would allow me to be more prepared fro how much I need to grow. Nice part is I get my money for seeds and plants back a lot faster and gives me guideline at to what and how much I plant. The Farmers Market I can cont on anywhere from $600 to a $1,000 on a good day and hopefully those consumer will become a member of the CSA.
Talk about red tape and fools who enforce the rules that is driving me out of the Market, so far most of us have held back on all the new rules they brought out as guidelines on how it is to be done. Browns office answer what can we do for you today.Lonny guess I call enough. but actually if you want to get your congress person or senator be nice to the lady who know every thing going on in the office. That nice young lady who is an intern and really let them know who they want. I always make sure to get a birthday or date they got married a simple card that may cost you in total $4.00 for postage and that card open a whole bunch of doors.
Now my other Senator is Portland his whole staff are assholes and he really like to preach more than help you. So you have to get their attentions, try 150 Drag Queens jam in a small office. Yes that isn't nice, but they are not nice and you still get your information to him just to get those Boy's out of his office. If you can't have little fun once in awhile life would be boring !!!!!!

I work from home. I've been remote off and on for the last 15 years as a mortgage underwriter. It's slow right now due to the interest rates. But alot of mortgage jobs are remote.
