    Yeah I found myself really jealous of folks that were laidoff. One guy was like, I’m not sure what I’m going to do for the next year but it includes planting some trees. I still think that sounds just awesome

      What world do you live in where a layoff means you get a year to plant trees?

      In the US we’d die by like week 3 of not having a job, and lose our homes and be criminally homeless by 6 weeks. In that order.

        Haha. It’s a decent corporate job. Dude’s surely been saving up. He seems way more responsible than me, and I’ve definitely at least got like a 3 month emergency fund, but I do live with my mom now which helps. No idea what his situation is but I assumed he probably went to live w/ his parents or something

      Since I’ll never retire I think I’m going to start doing two years on, one year off.
