One time in 2010 I got lost at a clown convention on the Jersey Shore and ran into a middle aged clown couple that were clearly just trying their best. You could tell the recession had hit the clown community hard but they had gone into the business together and were going to make it work. I think this experience fundamentally altered my developing brain bc any time I saw a scary clown I’d think about the state of the gig economy and think at least they’re getting work. ogie classic & post
