Default Amazon's army of retired temp workers.
I've thought a job opportunities subforum would be a good idea, to post articles about different opportunities out there. Job ideas.

I found this article. Amazon hires thousands of workers each holiday season, for a couple of months, at their 3 biggest warehouses. These migrant workers travel in RV's, mostly retired folks, and work hard, make some money, and get physically active during the time.

Amazon also helps them find places to park their RV's during the working season, and gets them discounts.

I thought this was really a nice thing that Amazon does. There's lots of nomadic folks out there, who work as they go, and travel. It's a lifestyle that appeals to me, actually.

Solid, If you started a business and used Government Monopoly to restrict your market, keep competition out, and allow you to import cheap goods, pay almost no taxes, and use slave labor to facilitate your model, you too might have some extra money to throw to the downtrodden.....

That's what tags are for. Add some tags to your thread and whenever you see a similar thread, make sure you tag it the same way. (It appears you can't add tags to other people's threads though, maybe that could be changed)

What's a tag?
If you scroll down towards the bottom of the page, above the "Posting Permissions" block, you'll see a button on the right to add/edit tags. You can see this because you started the thread, there's probably an option that can be set to allow anyone to add tags.

Here's the tag cloud: http://gold-silver.us/forum/tags.php
You can see I've been using it

When you click on "chat" you can see all the chat threads I've ever made, because I tagged all of them with the word "chat".

I don't agree that a free-for-all tagging system would be very good, I would be tagging the shit out of a bunch of threads... but hey let's try it!

I never used tags before I wondered what all those things were, and why is chat so big?

Darn, I gave up my secret and now it looks like I've been dethroned.
