  • Yup. People hate when it’s the easy answer but there’s no huge conspiracy. Traditional economists were terrified about the potential shift at the fed and Trump picked an establishment guy. The dollar got stronger, while crypto, gold, and silver crashed.

    The other part here is that crypto had a decent bump when Trump won, but before he took office. Investors were excited about him as a pro-crypto president










  • In my life, I’ve held an array of jobs. Sometimes I’d just be off randomly on a Friday (because I’d have to work all weekend).

    Some people in this economy are struggling to find full time/permanent jobs, so they can spare time to protest.

    Speaking from my current situation, I have a bank of time I could pull from if I wanted to take time off. Many people can easily fake saying they are sick to get time off on short notice. Some people probably have cool bosses who will let them request vacation at the last minute. There’s a million possible scenarios.









  • It wouldn’t be enough, unfortunately. The inquiries we get are all over the place. “I would love to do a couple hours on a Tuesday evening” and then “can I come in Saturday during the day?” Not enough to justify an off hours supervisor. It would basically be a full time employee but they’d work a super random schedule.

    The sad truth is that retirees tend to be the most reliable volunteers. Just because we get people interested doesn’t mean they stick around/come regularly. And I don’t blame them. I work full time and having to commit to something else after work seems daunting.
