With unemployment at it’s highest ever in my lifetime, in spite of wars and “rumor of wars”, nothing is on my mind more than how to create jobs right now -

How to create 200 jobs in the middle of nowhere:
After doing some research this morning:

It seems to be a clear and steady trend that self employment is on the rise, some high paying jobs are not coming back: but let me give you a glimpse of what is coming:
First a wake-up call:
- It is no longer necessary for about half of us to live where we work
- We can live anywhere
- Nobody really wants a postage stamp in the suburbs, cluster housing with all the amenities in the middle of the desert makes more sense environmentally
uplog.org (our company) , for instance, is preparing to expand exponentially – already requiring it’s own machine, it will eventually require an army, and a server farm – THESE CAN BE ANYWHERE=WHERE THE WEATHER IS NICE!
This is a natural progression, because information technology has made us one. WE CAN LIVE AND WORK ANYWHERE!
We are building a grass roots network of marketing professionals, one in every city and township in the us (only one for each about 1300 exclusive positions ).
Ideas for a formula to create 200 Green jobs in any city anywhere:
- Fill empty buildings with tax paying citizens by offering free or drastically reduced rent for one year
- Fill empty or depressed areas with profitable internet based or intellectual property based businesses
- Offer tax incentives, cheap labor, subsidized labor and training programs to attract these green jobs being created all over the world
- Turn unemployed citizens and dormant buildings into construction workers, store clerks, and online businesses.
We no longer need to live on top of each other, many of us can work from home, this new world will be:
- Less inflated economy (greener)
- More compartmentalized (everything in one place self contained) aesthetically nicer
- Greener – less travel, cars, roads needed, not as many people doing things at exactly the same time (9-5) has already eased congestion and air pollution concerns, and will continue to do so.
Oh yes: the new business? We convert light and knowledge, into money and power online! Very green! Your thoughts?
