Okay, so I'm in quite the pickle right now. I'm a registered sex offender and the regulations on places I'm legally allowed to work (like no place that has a playground, and that includes McDonald's) and the small number of places that'll hire me (which are basically zero if you don't include basically ANY JOB THAT REQUIRES A BACKGROUND CHECK!) are insane! The only options are under the table work/gig economy, manual labor jobs or painting that requires you to throw your back out under dangerous conditions for basically no pay in return, or personal hustles and hobbies. That's what this thread is gonna be about. And don't tell me to mow the lawn, because what if my neighbor doesn't need his lawn mowed? What if he's got it? I need a more solid hustle than that. Here's what I've come up with:
1.) Selling clothes
2.) Selling produce
3.) Selling other materials
I like both. I can make a 1700s style Jacquardian loom and a 1917 style hemp decorticator to make hemp fabrics out of using home grown hemp. The produce part is easy. It's not just an emphasis on trade but self-sufficiency also. Buy "Pocket Farm" by Alec Deacon which shows you how to build an aquaponic farm for just $190 to $400 just using some electrical pumps, fish tanks, and the plant roots going into them, which the fish compost will become fertilizer as the fish will eat the algae and anything that can ruin the plant, while the plant's roots purifies the water in a self-sustaining cycle. You can get better yields doing this also. Contrast this with hydroponics which are energy intensive, require expensive fertilizers, and most of that comes through the Strait of Hormuz which is being blocked off right now, so expect food prices to skyrocket and shelves to be wiped clean as food prices keep increasing, much like how the war in Ukraine damaged world grain supplies and lead to a famine in Sudan. Another component to it is that just the slightest dirt and all your hard work goes down the drain and the plant dies. Plus it requires tons of water. And certain plants, like onions, beets, radishes, spinach and carrots can't even be grown hydroponically. But they can be grown aquaponically. You can grow that plus hemp, cannabis (certain strains, think hybrid or indica, like Northern Lights), wheat, flax, strawberries, bell peppers, soybean, cucumbers and tomatoes. You can sell pounds of fresh produce that's cheaper thanthe store brand, more plentiful and ripe than the store brand, more cleaner than the store brand, more organic than the store brand, and requires no fertilizers.
I can make a farmstand that sells fresh produce and fish for downlow prices while the local grocery store shelves are wiped clean by COVID-era panic buying, and make a successful enterprise off of it. I can simply start building a bunch of sheds to grow at any time of the year. These can also be used as a drop-in replacement for getting your food from the store, because you now have enough home produce to live pescatarian shamelessly.
Another thing I can do is sell trinkets, like hempcils (pencils made from hemp) and hemp paper. You can use hemp biochar for the graphite/graphene w/ clay and silica powder heated inside a clay furnace to a hardened tip to go inside hemp particle board for the grip (#savethetrees), and an eraser made from a hemp composite (you can use biorubber from guayule or dandelion mixed with hemp fibers). I can also make biodegradeable plastics from hemp, soybeans, wheat, flax or even spruce pulp (although that involves deforrestation, which is an ecological eyesore). I can also make hemp toilet paper aside from hemp paper and hemp plastics, hemp foam as well as hemp cardboard and hemp COVID masks. All from hemp fibers. I can sell these from roadstands. The only problem is I don't know if a sex offender can own a public facing business or would have to sell online. If that's so, I can simply hire some people to operate these roadstands and hand me the proceeds (I can probably find someone who can do this).
I mean I come from prison, so I know that people even on regular GP2 and GP3 yards like Turbeville, Kershaw County, Evans, Kirkland and Broad River, people still find hustles. People at Kershaw use tattooing for cashapp game with sanding wheels, a motor and all! At Kirkland yard, people in the E dorms usually trade canteen with R&E inmates for cashapp since prison jobs aren't very rewarding monetarily. You do have work release or pre-release yards like Palmer and Tyger River, but you don't have to go there just to learn how to hustle. If you work in the kitchen you can make more money than any other hustle combined, and I mean MAD CashApp game. Surely, you guys can think of something. Those are just my hustles.
