There's been some talk about the Democratic party providing more community and more services to its members. I think it's time for some action. I want to start a Kossacks Jobs Club.
I'm envisioning localized blogs or websites with job postings and employment news. Some people have indicated that there might be legal problems with Democrats only hiring Democrats. There's gotta a be a way around that, doesn't there? It's not like the hiring Dems would be forced to hire other Dems. In any case, if there's a lawyer in the house familiar with unemployment law, can you post what you know?
Even if posting jobs is a problem, there's another job-related service we could provide: ADVICE. Advice on how to find a job, on which field to go into, what kind of training to get, and how to start one's own business. There's a lot of smart unemployed Kossacks out there who need your help. They could go on to make immeasurable contributions to society if somebody in our community gave them a hand. I for one would be thrilled to work for myself, if I knew what I had to offer that people would want.
The other related idea I had was getting a jobs-club or jobs-advice-club going through my local DFA Meetup. If you're in the Oakland area, would you be interested in helping me get this going?
What say you, Kossacks? Do you give a shit about your fellow reform Dems? Do you want to see more smart interesting people get jobs they enjoy and are good at?
