    Sweet, easy money.

    Won’t scale? Where’s your imagination! I’ll hire people.

    And, I’m not smart, and I don’t have any unique skills. On the contrary I have several mental issues and a low IQ. If I can do it, 60% of the population can.

    All they lack is determination.

      Sounds good, unfortunately will the price for such a repurposed hardware way to high for most people to buy. Producing things by hand is expansive, mostly because of the low output over time, so either you sell it way below production costs or nearly nobody will be able to buy it. That’s why I said that it will not scale. Even more so in a time after a huge financial collapse and with the turmoil that will follow when the current bubble burst.

      And in regards of the determination: People have often times just other things on their mind or to do and/or can’t allocate resources (time, money, brain power) to learn the needed skills to do this. That’s why we have created a system of specialized jobs after all.
