Why do they always gotta cut the funding for the things that are actually important?
Beats the hell outta me, honestly.
Speaking of potato salad, they cut the food budget down to something like $3.50 per person per day (from a princely $5/day). Can you believe that?
Take care, yeah? Because that sounds like it might end up being really depressing in the long run for you too.
Thank you dear, I'm taking steps to address that because I am afraid I'll burn out.
I think we tend to have a distaste for capitalistic money-grabbing, which ends up with all of us being periodically broke.
If only we could figure out a middle way. Money isn't evil, greed is. Money's just a symbol (albeit one you gotta have to pay the rent.) My sweetie is into the idea of intentional community - but a lot of the ones that exist cost a lot of money to get into in the first place. You have to have a bunch of money to live in a cheaper country, etc etc.
