What do you think some of the opportunities are around the current economic crisis caused by COVID-19?
lobbying for the Internet access to become a public utility is going to be big. "Last mile" is hard, so big telcos have stopped trying to do it. They dont want anyone else doing it either so i don't know if it has a chance; probably not, without something like strict censorship and tracking to make the "police state" fans jump on the bandwagon too.
"Back to the land / Self sufficiency / tiny houses" are in for a brief spike of interest for the remainder of the year and possibly beyond; but that has limits. Intrinsically rural and when people discover it involves dirt, work, and failures they get discouraged. Lots of people who have tolerated cohabitation wont anymore, however, so all sorts of housing will probably bounce high.
I've known restaurants that have sold discounted meals in advance of a big investment (expansion, recovery from fire, ...) to move cash forward in time.
On one hand this is a marketing method (e.g. "gift card";) another way of thinking of it is an alternative form of finance (e.g. a bond.)
Patrons of a restaurant have more reason to invest in it: not only do they get discounted meals later, but they get to keep a business they like going, so they can give better terms than a bank or public market.
Helping businesses like that survive by instituting such programs is certainly something you could do if you have nothing else to do and want to work at a breakneck pace immediately. It scales: you could do it for just a few local businesses that you care about, but it's also a very large market.
