This is probably going to be about as helpful as a brick, but the only answer I see is:
Live beneath our meansSave enough money to be able to afford to be jobless for a whileTell your boss "NO," and let chips fall where they mayCoordinate with other like-minded people

@rl_dane@polymaths.social @Routhinator@tenforward.social I think in every industry, the options are basically "work for an evil corporation" or "start/join a co-op" On the bright side, when the options are "pay an evil corporation" or "pay a co-op," most of us will choose the latter whenever possible
