These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,… whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

Every federal judge and probably the supreme Court for the rest of our lives is going to be wholly owned by the dictatorship. Checks and balances are essentially broken at this point in the president can do whatever he wants with impunity. What about to hit a massive recession. What smart thing do you think were going to do about it?
What we often call “the government” is actually many separate systems each with several moving parts. One man doesn’t control it, no matter what sentences are written on what pieces of paper. Trump has all the corruption he needs, but he’s not smart enough to know what he’s doing.
So to act like there’s no hope is just way too defeatist. Trump is gonna fail, and we can exploit those failures. But the last time we didn’t react to his failures correctly, because of course he just won again after what most historians consider the worst presidency in American history. So the first smart thing we can do is ask where the anti Trump messaging and media failed. And actually try to answer that question.
Because we did such a good job of that in his last presidency and he wasn’t a god king yet. /s
I’m still hoping Biden uses that to finish Trump. That will lead surely you a civil war, but that’s a price I’m willing to pay as somebody who doesn’t live in the US.
Only half /s
They did make a solid attempt at making coups legal.
There’s simply no way, the Democrats are going to look at the voting results and go this is what was legitimately voted for let it happen.
What do you think they’ll do? In court they won’t change anything, and rednecks are hard thinking they get to fire democrats.
I have no idea what you’re saying here, like which they? Why is there court involved? They will eventually push out democrats and there may be blood.
My bad, I thought you said the democrats were not going to let it be.
fair :)
Had us in the first half, not gonna lie. LOL
I remember 2008 like yesterday. “Nobody hiring. Mass layoffs. No jobs.”, and then it seems like that same cycle has just been on regular repeat the rest of our lives up to this point. (Meanwhile, record profits because of course!)
This is what I really worry about. I’m still trying but still on the same treadmill. I’m not a super genius or a heartless grifter, so I don’t really know if I can be clever enough for us to get through this… And that scares the crap out of me.
You don’t need to be faster than the bear, you just need to be faster than the other slowest campers.
Health care and small ticket entertainment industries are more recession-proof than new car sales and home sales.
Stay away from big public corporations that are going to fire a bunch of people as soon as the stocks dip a few percent.
Make sure your boss knows about the family you’re supporting, but in a friendly, proud way If you have kids make sure their pictures are on your desk
If you’re in some field where there’s new and different technology around it’s not a bad thing to brush up continue education , Even if it’s just something as simple as watching YouTube videos and talking with your boss about it, especially if it’s something they mention that they have an interest in.
I know being a bootlicker is terribly out of fashion, but, within reason, try to make yourself the most useful cog you can be. Don’t kill yourself bending over, don’t just let them take a wild advantage of you, But try to make sure that in your boss’s mind that there are people the team who are more replaceable than you are.
With any luck we won’t have to endure a pandemic at the same time
None of this in the end may help, it’s merely suggestions to help you position yourself.
