There is this big electronics store in NYC - I bought something small (batteries or something) and at the checkout, the cashier refused to bill me, unless I gave my phone number or email. When I asked why he needs that info his answer was &

I want to do the same. I'd be more than happy to help organize. I think for something like this to work well, a good amount of effort would go into project management, than the actual work itself. Communication, translating vague requi

That isn't going to happen easily. My experience: I've talked about this to many people (highly educated, smart people) - most of them are adamant on the idea that human beings absolutely have to work to deserve anything, even f
