There is a long thread here somewhere about the poop scoop business...

I would think Taxi is almost impossible with licences and such that u must need.

taxi is very regulated, you might be able to be an underground taxi, but that's illegal shit like booking or dealing dope.

People probably more willing to pick up their own dog shit, as we get closer to the next Great Depression, as well.

tougher than that, it's limited.... Fishhead will know. You can't just start a taxi company in like NYC, some shit about shields.

I put up an ad on Craigslist once to scoop poop to make some spare cash. Actually had about $200 booked one weekend but decided I didn't want to scoop shit for money.

First thing I'd cut is the dog-poop picker-upper guy, in tough times.... non-skilled do-it-yourself luxury service, this isn't an electrician... its a guy you're paying to pick up dog shit.... you can do it, yourself can't really fuck the job up, too badly, can you !

backing out of an agreement isn't honorable.
