Got Laid Off, Don’t Want to Apply to Jobs

I mean I will, because rent and pets. But I will be taking this opportunity to freelance and do my own thing. Hopefully I can stay “unemployed” and free. I'm tired of applying to jobs I know I will hate, and ones that I love will reach out only to say they love my resume, but here's an assessment and we'll reject you afterwards. I want to work from home. I don't want to answer phone calls. I don't want to do customer service. I want more than minimum wage, heck I want more than $20/hr. Fuck this. Unrelated though, how about we all create remote agencies and just hire each other? Work together online and partner with each other. I'm sure we all have different skill sets to contribute. Edit: starting online businesses/services this way could be a great start at worker cooperatives being normalized
