Posting this here as I feel like similar things are happening in open source projects we like to host.

Things will get more expensive as the consequences of US foreign and domestic policy pile up. If your family can't afford you to take a pay cut, understand that your family will be under water within the next few years regardless of what you do, and prepare accordingly. Given you will not be able to get what you need with money, how can you increase your chances of getting it through other means?

For me, at least, the easiest option is to join solidarity networks. Unionizing, sharing appliances, dumpster diving, learning trades and skills from each other, cooking communally to reduce waste and save time, squatting, etc.

And if you can't afford to live given that, you'll be far from the only one. So maybe join the others that are trying to change the system.
