Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Some channel, I think How Money Works, broke down some recent statistics that were doing the rounds in the capitalist press and why they actually spell doom for the job market. New business registrations are at record highs - but that's because more and more people are giving up on the job market and deciding to try their luck at a small business instead, not to mention people who have a job but are starting a business anyway because it doesn't pay enough, stuff like that.
Anyway I'm one of those people, and I've found that I really like working for myself even if it kinda sucks at times. idk what industry you're in or what credentials you have but if you can make a play for 1099s I would do it.
