Our (my partner and i) lease is up in a month and we are planning on moving to a town 30 minutes north of us. we’re in a small college town surrounded by cornfields currently, and would be moving to a more suburban area. my main reasons for moving are that I’ve been in this town for about 5 years and honestly its got some of...
Well, what do you prioritize the most? You mentioned a few different things; a desire to get away, balancing cohabitation, walkability, local culture, etc. If you don’t like the walkability of the area but it’s not the worst and active community, maybe that’s ok sacrificing for the first apartment in the new city. I moved 3 times before I stayed in the same apartment for more than a year, and it wasn’t until my most recent move a few months ago before I felt I found a long term apartment

Don’t worry friend, there has never once been a unique idea. On the other hand though, there are millions at any given time that have not heard about something major. You made people’s day a little better, even if you didn’t wholly invent the thought

Billionaires are partially responsible for every workplace death that occurs due to inadequate safety. It’s less wishing death and more vengeful thoughts.
First, was the layoff WARN compliant? The tldr is if 500 or 33% (whichever is less) people were laid off then you were required to receive either a payout of at least 60 day’s wages or a 60 day notice. Second, assuming you weren’t completely fucked by your company with that barebones requirement, what is the separation package? That is a major factor in how I would proceed.
If the package is substantial enough to live on for a while, try to slim up your budget a bit overall and treat yourself a little in the moment before looking for work. Keep a consistent schedule, and pick up some interests and active hobbies. Set aside at least 2 hours per day for submitting applications, and at least another hour per day on other tasks related to job searching.
Don’t let this time be miserable though. Make sure to find ways to relax, get outside, volunteer to a cause, get involved with community organizing, work on a personal project, whatever you feel is worth your extra time. There are a lot of ways to enjoy yourself without a lot of money, like going to your community library.
Agitate, educate, organize. Vote, protest, unionize, build political coalitions, support local progressive politicians, etc. We need to do everything, and anything helps. We, the people, have all the power. To use it, we need to act collectively.
