There are great ways to make money on the internet without or seldom leaving home. When I see this sort of story I always try to see how it could apply to me. However, I would not take any sort of government contract.
People who wish to be free of the cities with their cocommitant loss of freeedom must always seek viable means building income. Internet businesses represent a far better option than backbreaking labor in the summer and enforced inactivity in the winter, or even worse, working for wages.

My post was more to alert people on this forum who don't have medical insurance and use the internet to diagnose themselves (I don't but I suspect some people do). If you do so, beware of who you use and what their motivations are, sometimes they are not obviously selling you something but....
Has anybody noticed how much advertising is now on the internet? It wasn't anywhere near as bad, just a few years ago. We got rid of TV a few years back, due to - among other things - the advertising. Now I dislike doing much online, and would get rid of the computer also, except for DW.
I'm sick of looking at screens, and being treated like a "consumer". I am much more than a "consumer", and I'd rather look at the REAL world with my own two eyes, instead of staring into a screen!

It drives me nuts. And half the time those scripted, animated adds freeze my computer. Very annoying. Yeah, my computer is old and slow. I don't really need a fast computer (primarily use it to write, some digital art, and once in a while a simple web page design in HTML), and I certainly am not going to buy a fast computer so I can watch scripted adds.
It's just the tech version of going to the doctor's office and seeing it plastered with script pads, posters, thermometers, etc,etc. emblazoned with drug logos.
Or giving birth in a hospital and being handed a new-mom bag that contains samples of formula, "just in case."
You think HCPs just have this stuff? They are PAID to promote these pharmaceuticals, whether it be via actual prescription or just product placement.
It's advertising, pure and simple.
Getting old... but not slow. Well, okay, I'm a firm believer in "living slow" and early to bed early to rise, etc... but physically/mentally, nope. I'd put myself up against myself at 25.

That MAY not say much about you when you were 25. Sorry, you walked into this one...

Call me naive but it does NOT say on their website that the above is how they are making their money. I think it is pretty dishonest and misleading.
