"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
'Make A Way' Freelance IED Disposal Makes A Living For Iraqi Entrepeneurs
Submitted by A. Magnus on Tue, 2017-04-18 23:00
"The fellows at NIQASH tell us the story of one Faleh al-Marsoumi, who got involved in the lucrative new trade because it was taking too long for authorities to come to his home and remove booby trapped explosives. He tried unsuccessfully to find someone to help him on the freelance market (there is no TaskRabbit franchise – yet – in Iraq.) Unable to find anyone at a reasonable price, Marsoumi decided to do the work himself."
