Barrie's company Freelancer.com was just outed as a bunch of scam artists on HN front page yesterday, now he's an economic mastermind?
This whole article is basically "the entire world economy is a house of cards wtf!" Yeah, no shit. We've known that for a decade now. Australia rises and falls with the world economy and if/when China crashes things will be ugly everywhere.
I have searched for the article using 'Freelancer.com' and the earliest one is from 10 days ago titled 'Freelancer.com has ruined my life'. I also see similar articles to this from longer ago. Definitely seems like a site to avoid.
Searching for 'Matt Barrie' only gave this story.
I would love to see the article about them being scam artists.
