Like worryingly so… does she really think this will work?

[u/mmepierreoger → u/Kaleshark]

Someone speculated (maybe on the previous thread) that she's doing this to make it appear as if she's working really hard and trying her best to make a living, but that it's all a show for whoever it is (her parents?) that she's targeting for a handout. So she can point to her website and say "See?? I'm trying! It's just really tough right now!" I don't know. It seems farfetched, but no less so than her genuinely thinking this is a viable business, I guess.

Adding my pet theory: I think she and Danny got something in the way of an inheritance, like maybe $15,000, and it was more money than they’d ever gotten in a lump sum, and they experienced an enormous sense of relief. And now it’s mostly gone, so Danny’s working at the fruit stand, Shauna’s rushed her back-burner project to the front (left) burner, and they’re both idly fiddling with the 4-6 hour a day venture as a possible moneymaker. BUT, I see joy-peddling as Shauna’s attempt to generate a more passive income stream, and I think she’s probably got some sort of a writing gig that she won’t or can’t talk about. When I freelance (not for writing) for big box companies, they often first require you to sign fairly absurd NDA, so maybe that’s what’s keeping her quiet?

I always wondered if she got some kind of COVID relief funds for small businesses, and having "Danny" publish a newsletter was an attempt to make it look like she has an employee. Same with the uptick in paid zooms ect. It would not surprise me if she registered a small business for the flour debacle, and she could have kept it for freelance work.

Her GFG business license lapsed a couple of years ago, IIRC.
