I need some advices guys.
I am a civil servant in an Euro country, can't say really my job because this is very specific. I work during 7 days and I am free during the other 7 days, plus the vacation. Even if I must take care of my daughter and I do sport, I still have lot of free times.
I have some shitty loans, so I would like to do an additional job to get money to fix it and make me more busy. I am tired of reading shits on imageboards and playing video games, I feel totally unproductive and useless.
I thought about learning programming. Does it worth to learn a programming language (like Python) by yourself and work as freelancer?
Or something else, any job at home who could bring money would be fine, I have no real idea.

Competition starts selling penis enlargement pills edition
does ebay even give two shits about their copyright policies? some clown just threatened to report one of my listings because it's an old band t-shirt that was a bootleg. there are like five dozen bootleg shirts of the band in question on ebay right now.
>>1758022
if its actually bootleg (claiming to be a licensed product) then yes, upon being reported your listings will be flagged and removed. repeated offense will get you banned
>>1758022
Well, check out the VERO rules on Ebay.
Thing is, for a single band shirt, a regular person writing in is not gonna get much traction. However, if it is a lawyer's firm writing in, or a registered VERO owner, that is another thing.
Usually I just choose not to antagonise people like this. If I only have a couple of products up, I just never respond to the cunts, keep the listings running.
If my account was income critical though, I would ponder removing the listing briefly/permanently.
So /biz/ in economic terms what are the possible (and profitable) consequences of this?

Shale companies can drill more. Contrary to much of what the market believes, these companies can turn on their drilling incredibly quickly. Shale wells take a fraction of the time a conventional well takes to set up and can be turned on/off easily. This article (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-03-06/introducing-fracklog-the-new-fangled-oil-storage-system-energy) explains the system well, but it's a bit old so excuse some of the outdated information.
This fact harms other predictions for the oil market. Russia, Saudi Arabia, and lots of other markets should become more stable if the price rises, but since shale is a wild card and essentially the new "swing producer," there's doubt over how fast the price will rise before the increased shale supply starts taking a toll. The oil market has been turned on its head, which is why so many people were so wrong with the oil predictions (oil recovery in Q4 2015/Q2 2016/Q4 2016/Q1 2017/etc etc). Things are doing better than Q1 2016, so they've been right in that regard, but we haven't seen anything above the $60 level last for a sustainable period of time.
I'm invested in some refiner (MHZ), and so far it's been quite good.
Really wondering what'll happen to them with the price change.
Could be good, because they can rise the price of their end product, could be bad, because they have to pay more for their raw materials…
>>1757734
Grew up in the oil field. There are various types of oil. Theu vary in price.
Here in kansas to keep a small company affloat and break even you need $40 a barrel. We have been fucking starving.
See, when oil skyrockets like it did several years ago to over $100 a barrel gas went to over $4 but it was fucking great around here. Everyone was happy and had jobs. Then it fell but the prices for all of the pump parts and pump jacks and motors and shit stayed the same. The little man is tying the noose.
If it doesnt go over 50 around here i'm moving just because its so fucking depressing.

Thinking about a margin account to ride this bull.
What are jobs and majors that allow you to get high? I need mecial marijuana and thanks to the white devil that excludes you from 90% of jobs because the crackers have a weird piss fetish.
What career should I look for that will let me take my medicine without these monsters taking it away?
>>1757705
sell weed
If you can do the job high, it will be automated soon...
>>1757873
Did I say a job that lets me get high there? No. I said a job that lets me administer my medicine on my own time.
How do you meet people that are interested in leaving the wageslave life? I wish I knew some like-minded people that would actually like to sit down and discuss things, bounce ideas off each other, read books and discuss them etc. All my friends are fucking retards that just want to work 40hrs and not worry about anything else. Any time I try to talk business with them they all go "it'll never work blah blah you'll only make 70k a year and risk losing it all"
Fucking pussies man
>>1757697
>How do you meet people that are interested in leaving the wageslave life?
that's everyone, anon.
there's just different levels of credulity regarding how easy or possible that goal is.
>>1757699
I think about it every day. All day. And have no one to talk to in person. I have no illusions that making a living yourself is not easy but it seems to me that it is possibly the most worthwhile pursuit in life. I just don't understand how so many people are more or less content to be squeezed for as much work as possible for as little pay as possible.
>>1757697
You just need to do it my dude, start working towards it yourself and maybe your friends will follow. I've got a 5-10 year plan where I'll be working freelance while trying to start some small businesses that will hopefully be able to run themselves in the long run. It's a lot of hours now, but I get to decide those hours and work from where ever I want, with the goal being to eventually only work when I feel like it. There's a chance I'll end up homeless, but fuck it
Make that lifestyle your goal and work hard towards it, but don't expect it overnight. The sooner you start the sooner you'll get it
How does one go about making massive returns trading forex like the people at the top of the fxcm trading contest? https://www.fxcm.com/why-fxcm/trading-contest/
>>1757681
be one of the people at the top of the fxcm trading contest
Take massive risks and get massive rewards. That's probably the answer.
I know forex really concentrates on leverage, something like 5:1, 10:1, even 20:1.
>>1757681
Practice.
What is the minimal salary needed to """feel""" rich?
>>1757633
It's all relative, dumbass.
If losing your job means you won't be homeless and you won't have to find another one ever.
I feel rich just by having no debt and $2000 in savings simply because everybody around me has debt and nothing in savings.
Should I invest in buying vacant land?
I've found an agricultural land about 2500 m2 / 0.25 Hectare for about 8500$.
It's near a highway and a small river pass right by it, and is surrounded by a few farms.
Anyone with previous experience regarding those things?
buy it, forget about it for 20 years
>>1757598
what are teh property taxes? id like to so the same thing but honestly its a gamble and the taxes are a constant drain if you dont have something to counteract that
>>1757598
in farming water is more important than land

>Considering moving to Idaho
>Boise area
Can anybody tell me anything about Idaho? How the economy is? How hard it is to get a job there?
I was surfing job listings on Indeed and it looked kind of okay.
have you looked at Washington state?
Better tax laws, weed laws, weather, jobs, and well everything.
>>1757534
ID is great if you are looking for a place for strategic relocation. WA is full of taxes and liberals.
Boise is to Idaho what Austin is to Texas
Just throwing an idea out there...What if instead of trying to raise the minimum wage, they based minimum wage laws on the budget of the employers? They could increase minimum wage laws for big corporations that can afford to increase their expenditure without suffering a major decrease in profits and stock values, but at the same time, small businesses wouldn't get crushed and be forced to layoff good workers, so the unemployment rate wouldn't increase. One would have to carefully consider that several business franchises might be owned by a bigger company, though.
there are a lot of idiots on /biz/
>>1757439
You do realize that just because a company is big it doesn't mean their margins are better than small companies, right?
Example, let's say there is company A that made 10 million dollars profit in a year and company B that made $10,000 profit in a year. It seems like company A makes more "profit", however company A employs 2000 people and company B employs 15. In this case company B actually makes 50% more profit than company A.
>>1757439
Because you can't centrally plan out the economy, it's not an autistic day dream, it's real life
who here just wants to be self reliant and get a semi remote plot of land, some farm animals like chickens, some basic crops like tomatoes and potatoes other shit like solar pannals and just plug yourself out on the money system
>>1757424
and don't say its not possible, people have been living like this for thousands of years, but now with technology we can live more comfortably
