More than a few posters here have handyman like skills. And live in a basement. Alone. All alone.

I do not want to wait on a douche trying to barter on a stick of mentos.

If you barter, there's a form for that. The 1099-B. 



That's fricked up.

if you choose the barter, the federal government thinks they're owed a portion of that value. In other words, in their eyes, they own your life rather than you.


You do benefit (well, sometimes) from government services after all.

I'd argue that mentos are not necessary to a thriving livelihood.

Most barter transactions would be of a private nature.

This is a network set-up in the BR area; there are reciprocal exchanges in other areas. It works fine. I have had nothing but great experience with it.
