Making it Work
The Verge presents Making It Work, a special issue about how small businesses have found clever and creative ways to adapt to the current climate, be it the pandemic, sweeping tech platform changes, or literally the climate. Whether it's selling face masks on Etsy, hosting 10,000-person dance classes through streaming video, or getting a community to take COVID testing seriously with free tacos, these are stories about how the internet has enabled scrappy underdogs and thoughtful problem-solving.
