  • During the Iraq War, Kurt Vonnegut was asked about the anti-war protests… His response was that, during Vietnam, he was part of anti-war protests firing on all cylinders and laser-focused and going to stop that war. He said it was ultimately about as effective as climbing to the top of a ladder and tossing a pie on the ground. This time will be no different.

    So I don’t know what you’re hoping to gain. The ‘Ima take my ball and go home’ approach didn’t work out so well in 2016. Threatening not to vote isn’t going to phase anyone in a country where more than half the population doesn’t vote anyway. Maybe instead of threats you should work with other people trying to help the people you want elected get elected.










  • Go to an employment agency/temp agency.

    There’s paperwork and possibly tests before you can actually get work. Do all of that now so that you don’t have to wait while they process the paperwork if you get furloughed. Be sure to explain that you’re expecting to get furloughed.

    With the holidays approaching, retail stores may need extra staff. Not yet, but post-thanksgiving.

    I’ve never done it, but there’s the payment for taking surveys online.

    I agree with others that the car is a major money sink. Can it sit in the driveway and wait for you to get through this?

    Paying a friend to drive to work together probably costs less than gas + insurance + repairs.
