Who was the motherfucking douchebag who similarly sought out to disprove Ehrenreich, and he not only lived on a meager salary, he saved up and bought two trucks, and made quite bit of money? Remember that guy? Some guy in his early 20s?
But if I remember correctly there were some holes in his story -- like, he went back and lived with his parents for a bit, and only did the experiment maybe two months, & with some decent start-up capital. Or something. I can't recall the specifics.
Boing Boing has always leaned "Libertarian" (in the US Lib Party sense of that term, not the sense used by anarchist George Woodcock in for ex the 1962 book _Anarchism and Other Libertarian Philosophies_ or Isaac Puente's _Libertarian Communism_ from the 1930s, a sense of the term "libertarian" all but lost in US East coast political wankery today - thanks Megan McTwaddle!)
But BoingBoing's bias has only been rarely obtrusive in the cultural wonderland that is the site's forte. Only one or two writers are stridently Libertarian. I remember emailing them about a few posts in 2008 where they basically endorsed Ron Paul for President. But BoingBoing is by and large still a joy.
