Feelsbadman. I want to look at it like a vacation, but it's really just depressing the hell out of me. This morning I applied for food stamps just to make sure we can still eat if it takes a few months to get back in the game. Stressed to the max here with a homestead coupled with a fat monthly mortgage payment and bills on top. They got four years of automation support, Linux expertise, and thousands of lines of code from me, then management reshuffles, and now contractors are obsolete regardless if they needed me in particular.

Sounds like somebody has a case of the Mondays

Well, I had one.

Perhaps you should think of another way to make money.

I wasn't giving you a bad idea. As someone who spent a lot of time in a sober house with a felons and drug addicts, I don't think you quite appreciate the hardware demand there is.

I don't live in a city though. The closest city is like a 45 minutes away drive. Out here we have cows, four wheelers, and gunshots are disregarded as the neighbor having fun on his property.

Why would you need to be close to a city?

The entire business would be shipping based. Buy cheap laptops off eBay, install Linux, call up halfway houses and sell them the laptops to teach the addicts tech.

I know there has to be a government grant for this.

That really sounds like something I would need a partner to work with, because I am not a people person. Teaching normies tech is hard enough. Teaching a recovering meth-head how to use it would drive me up the wall.
