What will the winning journalism say about the press’ value to the public? We’re about to find out.

It can be a lonely business working outside a traditional office environment as a freelancer, independent professional or start-up entrepreneur. Given the costs associated with renting a commercial space, a popular option many choose in those circumstances is to build their empire from home.

Authored by Daniel Lang via SHTFplan.com, If you’ve been paying attention to the ongoing degradation of the American economy since the last financial crisis, you’re probably flabbergasted by the fact that our economy has managed to make it this far without imploding.

“Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground,” said Teddy Roosevelt. If the Washington Post is to be believed, Rex Tillerson believes you should keep your eyes on the stars.
