Brilliant Idea of the Week

Here's a way you can make money directly helping people who can't get jobs because they've been unemployed for too long.

Digby, on the refusal of companies to hire anyone doesn't already have a job:

That's one way to keep the unemployment rate high and wages low. And the new austerity should help matters greatly. Obviously our policy makers believe that the country is in desperate need of more beggars, prostitutes and thieves. Those are jobs that are being created anyway.

I have a business idea. Who wants to incorporate and and sell themselves to jobless people as their "current job" for resume purposes? You could just charge a little fee if the person gets the job. Why not? It's no more immoral than saying people shouldn't be allowed to work if they aren't already working.

Now that's how the liberal free market works.
