Pyramid schemes, the economy and your bum friends

Most professionals have their ways of determining if the economy is going into recession, coming out of recession, dipping its toes in recession or just getting downright depressed. There are indicators for this.... beats me what they are, but THEY tell me there are indicators so I believe them.

I have my own economic indicators. A surefire set of criteria that will always lead you to the truth....

If there are a high level of “work from home,” “mystery shopper,” or pyramid schemes in the help wanted section of the paper or online, welcome to the recession.

Pyramid schemes stalk the unemployed. If the unemployment rate is high, then you can bet the scam ads will flood in. Buy our crap, sell it to your other derelict friends and have them do the same. If you can get a long enough chain of people will to fuck over gullible acquaintances, you’ll be a millionaire!

Come to think of it...that kind of sounds like NAFTA.
