    $0 because we can barely make ends meet due to layoffs. The Trump admin’s slashing of grants and departments has been disastrous. My wife lost her job, my brother’s non-profit lost a quarter of their expected cash (grants), my sister lost a year of work after they slashed her $1mill NEH grant and has an uncertain future now (academic), my company lost a client that provided 10% of our annual revenue (they had grants they used to hire us), it’s fucking relentless.

      I feel for you and yours, I was in a similar situation in the past (to the point where I ate only every other day), and I wish you all the best!

        Appreciate it. I think my company is going to weather it so I’m not too worried about getting laid off yet, but we were everybit a two income household and this is putting a serious strain on us. Things are looking decently up on the employment front at least for my wife.
