      @Eli, the only way out of this mess is through Community Economics. This is an awesome time begin a start-up! Got some ideas as well…. Maybe piggy back or brother up with Trenches via e-zine? 501C status asap, Legal as well (as the Marketing) and staff writers and artist that can contribute on a weekly basis. Piggy-Back in the sense of expounding upon the success of what this site offers and does not offer; national job board, top ten list of quick money fixes, and a name that has energy like “Engine 99″ Out of work tv producer here, motivated to contribute idea and video wise…

    Eli, sb,

    I have been unemployed, and believe starting your own business is likely one of the best steps an individual could take for many reasons. Many of the reasons stem further back than any recent or current political leaders or the social and economic changes our country and world is going through. I sincerely believe many folks will be dis-placed very long term if they rely on returning to work as an employ of any company, large of small.

    I have an interest in connecting with others that feel doing something for ourselves is the right answer. I have a couple ideas which will make sense to the right people.

    touch base if you are interested in comparing notes

    Regards, DaveO

    Eli, DaveO, SB Alayande,

    Hi to all. Yes! If we don’t go entrepreneurial we have little chance of avoiding economic oblivion! I have wanted to start an internet based business for years and have gathered allot of information on what the pieces of the puzzle are but somehow I have just never taken action steps. It’s time.

    SB, I just went to the pub and had no trouble logging in. I just used my name. Maybe there were temporary server issues. Can we set a time to meet there and get acquainted?

    @Becca, Please take this opportunity to gather all interested parties and arrange a meeting. Let’s move on this idea and yeah Eli this is a “Joint Venture” and a non-disclosure is appropriate. I’d like to meet with all interested and Yes we should have individual proposals. When and where is the question? Becca take the ball and run with it. Potential is nothing without concrete direction.
    Peacefully,
    SB

  23. Eli says:

    I have my proposal Ready to share with you all. hope that you do as well. please contact me by E-mail
    Or if you have my E mail contact me
    I would love to be able to start running with this
    but we are at the starting Line. and we need to get in gear first . As I mentioned I have what I feel is most definitely a very lucrative idea. As we are all unemployed and now infamous 99ers we don’t have the funds to get to the next level. so we need to get our ideas combine them use each others resources and experience to get this done. I am looking for equal partners in this. your Idea may be better than mine. my field of work may be beneficial to you and so forth. I will not throw ideas in the pub, it is an open forum it is not smart.

      So how do we exchange email addresses without posting them in the pub during a chat? What’s next?

      Eli,
      Now I’ve been thinking maybe you guys could let me in on your business adventure, I could be the guy who synchronizes your watches. I have a map with the time zones on it. But think about it, if you don’t want to make me a partner, the map is for sale. LOL Just kidding!

    Henry,
    Can you please tell me why there is a two hour difference between actual time and what shows up on a post. It is 7:35 as I click post comment.
    Thanks

    • Henry Shivley OR says:

      Brian,
      I have this website set for my time, which is Pacific Standard Time.
      Here is a little trick, if you look and see what time it is when you post on this site, it will be exactly the same time at Eli’s house in California.
      Sorry, I couldn’t resist, just a little joke.

      • Brian says:

        Henry,

        Oh, I see. So you’re a “timeist”. It’s your time or no time. See you in court pal! This is really discriminatory!

    I have already emailed Eli with an idea I had. It was very sketchy. Is there a way that we can at least post on here a time frame and a date that each of us is available on an ongoing basis? This is not going to launch unless we can coordinate a meeting time. If we are all 99ers is it possible to meet during the day? This way it will be before a spouse or family member is off of work and our time is taken. View it like a job that we would work. We should all be available mid day at least. I will note the time frames and days and list them when I have at least 3 more people. Thanks everyone.

    Sorry, I haven’t been on in a couple of days, had family come without warning. Extra 7 people in the house, 7 more mouths to feed and no money for groceries. I have been busy. I am definately interested and will go now to check for your #. Thanks for keeping me in on it. I really think we need just one good idea. I am willing to do what ever work is needed. Also willing to learn new things if needed. Once took 27 credit hours in one semester and received a 4.0. New doesn’t scare me. I say let’s get this going!

    Hello everyone and thanks to weneedtier5 for tell me about this site. I am all for entrepreneurship and have a couple ideas running currently which if someone is winning to jump in….could pay off dividends in the end. At this time, I have come to the belief that waiting on ‘the powers that be’ in DC to do anything for the 99ers is similar to waiting to win the Powerball or MegaBucks.

    The truth is that they do not care. Empathy and understanding are two different things. It is possible for some to feel a level of empathy for the 99ers situation. But, to truly understand what they are going though….well you have to live it. Earning salaries in the high five figures and above, none of the ‘leadership’ in DC have a true understanding of the situation at hand.

    Noting the above, I would enjoy the opportunity to join into your ‘pub’ discussion. Feel free to contact me via e-mail and let’s discuss ideas!

    Hello everybody,

    This is exactly the kind of group I have been wanting to connect with. I agree with you that our community has most of the resources that we need to put together a business or nonprofit. I don’t see your comments after 1/8/11. Wouldn’t it be better to meet through a Yahoo kind of group which would be more secure? I have engineering, success coaching, planning, stress relief, environmental protection experience and 3 degrees yet I am a 99er!
    Thanks for your leadership and look forward to connect and participate in the adventure with you. Here are two ads I put in the Craigslist recently with a hope to find you all. Please reply to the ads to get connected.
