God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

i don't post in CSPAM, but since I know there are people struggling here, I thought I'd throw out an offer to help find jobs. I have decent contacts in various places throughout the country doing (mostly) blue collar work. Some is Union, but there are some jobs with an ESOP that treats their employees really well. I'm also pretty good at resume editing and gaming the indeed.com job searches. I figured I'd throw an offer out there to help. I'm also aware of a decent track to get good union employment (most ppl make $70-100k after a few years) in Louisiana and Texas, if you're not morally opposed to working in chemical manufacturing.

I can also go over resumes, sounds like oxsnard might be better at it than me, but im white collar and can help with wording and interview prep, the more eyes on these things the better.

I can also do this, ran it as a side business for a while, but as long as I have time it’s free to help out a goon in need. PM me if it will help.

Do you have any experience in food service or IT? Another goon helped me get a job when I was struggling, the least I can do is it pay it forward.


I signed up for the patreon because I've been in a place where I couldn't eat a food and there's no worse feeling.

I'm mostly a scenic carpenter/fabricator.
I work freelance and theres definitely a feast and famine cycle in this town. a few parts of the year are busy and money is good, but it requires planning for the dead times of the year.

I do have xp in food service though, some fast casual and some trendy cafe stuff, if you know of a place that would take me part time for any back of house from line cook to dishwasher let me know.

I had a beer with Stephen Miller once and now I like him.

Hey. After half a year+ of unemployment I landed a job, discovered the bimonthly pay schedule means I don't get squat until the end of the month, and y'all did me a major favor by making sure I've got some staples, deodorant, and some water treater goop so my dumbass catfish don't die in their own waste while I ride the month out. Thank you! I've met lots of great people through the food banks and pantries, job centers and all that, but folks doing this sort of thing anonymously on the internet is something else entirely.

Don't want to make a promise I can't keep, but I'll try my best to join in for at least _something_ monthly once I'm out of this mess!

Surely your $1214 monthly patreon is not all going to charity food purchase. That is an obscene amount of food to purchase monthly. But if so I will take some free food, thank you Goon sir.

you dont, i delete the sad stories that people tell me, which are sometimes loving heart breaking, like a goon not able to feed his loving fish for 2 weeks, above himeself, becuse he doesn't want them to die, or another goon that was about to get a thrown out of their apartment if the didnt have an extra 100 bucks, it's self correcting, people contact me at the dregs of their life for a couple bucks, most pay outs are 50-100 literally to eat, 10-15 of them a month easly equals 1200 bucks, so...
