I appreciate that Pete has a contingency plan (I am known to switch over to colonial warfare rations when pressed for cash myself).

However let's also not pretend like reporters get paid enough by corpo employers so to me, Pete, passing you a fistful of ones on kofi is more akin to supporting FOSS or artists than any sort of "charity" or even mutual aid.

That's an interesting take that'll take a bit to absorb. I'm used to not making the big bucks, which was made very clear as the price of admission at my college paper. However, the jobs were alleged to continue to exist. Reality didn't get the memo.

The good news is, this particular emergent crisis has been solved by my mom, who didn't like the idea that I did nothing for Thanksgiving. It's enough to cover the car-insurance payment and stop the dominoes, plus a bit extra. I'm not going to be living extravagantly for the next week, but I won't get down to powder.

I do appreciate everyone's concern and the outpouring of support.
