The U.S. Coast Guard offered up some ideas of side hustles for its employees who will go an undetermined period without pay due to the shutdown, including holding garage sales, walking dogs and babysitting.
According to a Wednesday Washington Post report, the tip sheet called “Managing your finances during a furlough” was taken down after the outlet inquired about it.
One particularly condescending tip read: “While it may be uncomfortable to deal with the hard facts, it’s best to avoid the ‘hide your head in the sand’ reaction. Stay in charge of the situation by getting a clear understanding of what’s happening.”
The Coast Guard is the only branch of the military that receives its funding from the Department of Homeland Security instead of the Defense Department, thus is the only one to lose funding during the shutdown.
They could be like the president and just borrow money from the Russians and find a creative way to pay them back later.
Also quietly advises those who are registered Republicans to quit voting for that party.
“The U.S. Coast Guard offered up some ideas of side hustles for its employees who will go an undetermined period without pay due to the shutdown, including holding garage sales, walking dogs and babysitting.”
All guaranteed to bring in a totally sustainable living. Yikes, what are they thinking?
Dotard, this country is bigger than you, and your need for a wall. Get over yourself. YOU must SERVE your COUNTRY! FIRST!!!
There has to be some legal recourse for the Coasties; as a former uniformed service member the thought of being locked out without pay, or worse, forced to work without pay, all while having a service commitment, seems like breach of contract by the employing agency.
