Well, if you can't make money any other way, there's always pornography to fall back on:

AT&T Will Offer Hard-Core Adult Movies In Drive to Lure Digital-Cable Subscribers
By LESLIE CAULEY
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

AT&T Corp. plans to carry The Hot Network, a hard-core adult-movie channel, in a programming deal that could leave AT&T with a big share of profits from sexually explicit movies.

AT&T's decision to carry the pay-per-view channel comes at a time when the telecommunications company's cable unit is under pressure to show results for the billions of dollars it has invested to upgrade its networks for new digital fare.

Looks good to me. I am basically for plans that broaden
ownership of American companies by more Americans. There is a
labor shortage now and there will be so in the future, until
the last of the "baby boomers" retire. This should help retain
large company workers. As I look at the last century, many
(most?) of the great ideas that "made" America came from people
breaking away from "large" companies to form their own "small"
companies. I don't believe the previsions of this bill are so
enticing, so as to prevent the entrepreneurship by these "idea"
people.

You're retired, but...what do ya think?
