    If in the US make sure to apply for unemployment benefits. I believe you only have a week after your last day to do that. You'll just need to provide proof of an active job search every week.

    If you have plenty of savings it's also a good opportunity to travel. But don't go somewhere too expensive.

    I can have this issue but it’s usually tied to a specific problem with my relationship to the work or employer.

    I try to only ever travel with just a large backpack. Anything else feels like asking for trouble. I’ve done this for trips up to 10 days long.

    Could airports start paying the salaries of the FAA employees? I think they’d much rather do that than shut down.

    I’ve driven coast to coast before and I’m wondering if that might be required to see family at Thanksgiving. I’m not working right now so it is possible to pull it off.

    I don’t have a flight that soon but I’m wondering about the possibility that the shutdown extends to Thanksgiving.

    I hate to say it but the party’s future depends on the success of people like Mamdani. If he’s able to get most of his policies implemented and working there will be a shift. Other cities and states will have their own democratic socialists running as Democrats. The party will change from within.

    The text on the ballot was pretty informative. That’s not always a given like with the Uber/Lyft measure that was designed to be as confusing as possible.

    Since that thread I actually started watching him on Twitch pretty regularly. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I enjoyed his content. But it’s extremely clear from his immediate reaction to Kaya’s yelp that he knew he’d been caught doing something wrong. And then there’s the evidence that he’s lied about her collar. And the constantly shifting narrative.

    I called him out in his chat, asked to be banned, and unfollowed. He may have so far been a net positive to American politics. And he’s a good entertainer. I agree with him on some of his major political beliefs. But he’s also not someone I can support.

    California tests for pesticides as well, but they use a blacklist system instead of a whitelist. So growers end up using more and more exotic pesticides that labs don't yet test for.
