GlennSprigg:
Old discontinued projects!!!
Even Aliens make us laugh...

RJSV:
You can ( still) 3-D print...OR can you?
What about 3-D print supplies ?
And, (knocking on wood), how possible is it, to DIY make your own plastic recycle, line, onto a reel.
Home produced recycled line, plenty of work out there, if you make / design mechanical components.
OR, wrong idea ?

--- Quote from: Bassman59 on July 20, 2021, 08:12:21 pm --- Because crew who worked as 1099 contractors (that is, for our non-US readers, independent contractors, not salaried employees) don't get unemployment payments, so when the industry shut down overnight in spring 2020, there were millions of people suddenly without work with no prospects of income.

--- End quote ---
Federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) covered independent contractors, business owners, and others who didn't qualify for their regular state programs.  From March 2020 (retroactive to January 2020) until it expired recently in September, and would still have been in effect when you wrote the above.  In addition they also qualified for rent assistance, and weren't evictable even if unable to pay their mortgage or rent during the pandemic.

   Actually, drone delivered LATTE COFFEES are probably at the top, of any consumer business you might start, as an alternative to electronics...
   Just as many other replies, here, I express frustration and look elsewhere, but end up sticking with Electronics as a first choice, trying to make my (rent).
   In 1995, after industry lay-offs, I determined to look elsewhere... But by 1999 I was back at it, doing my best to garner resources and focus (on business documentation). Simultaneous, though, I did develop some non-tech industry usefulness: I did security monitoring (retail), private security (house and pet sitting), even Pet Walking. Non of these informal gigs involved any certification / licenses.
   I've even taken to heart, a Clint Eastwood movie, when he was DOWN, I mean really down, he used that time, practice, practice practice. What I mean is, he recovered from injuries, while getting his skills upgraded, privately. THEN, as troubles eased, he was back: stronger than ever, and with some new tricks.
(Course that was cowboy stuff, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", or one of the other 'Spagetti Westerns'.
   I do remember in some past social disasters, the government went after those that illegally gouged supplys, (food) in wake of disaster. They 'shoot looters' used to be a thing said...
   But this is getting too wordy. I did want to say, I could hire 3 'Ricks' right now, to build / research stuff. Everything from frivolous consumer products (pocket shower) to nano-tech and even Bio-tech musings...
I just can't pay.
