The horrors persist, but so do we.

Someone who lives in a makeshift forest shelter wants to join us in the bus soon.

The Vulpibus now has an air conditioning unit fitted. We have installed a longer 4G antenna.
We almost had somewhere to go and park a while, but the landowner backed out. Again. And the convoy we are trying to form is moving along.

So the bus is still in need of a diesel refueling, and the current prices make that a matter of about $400. Links below.

We would really love to convert this bus to an EV but that is going to need a much more generous level of help than most folks here can provide.

There are also many debts to deal with, including car loan and insurance, and bureaucratic needs that have fees to pay. Capitalism is ruthless the most when it is legally enforced and you still don't have the means.

If you want to help out with any specific thing, please let us know. Otherwise donations are put to the most pressing need.

I see my fellow oldies telling young people who are struggling with affording housing that they NEED ROOMMATES. And yeah, I had to split rent with someone for most of my adult life even though I always had two jobs, so I get it.

But we also tell young people to NEVER EVER COSIGN A LOAN for anyone. Ever. Solid advice.

But don’t we understand that signing a $24,000 a year lease with someone IS COSIGNING? Even worse because they are risking their housing & future housing. And if there’s property damage they could get sued for more than just the rent to the end of the lease term.

Residential leases are usually “joint and severable” meaning you both or either one is legally responsible. Landlord doesn’t have to care who actually paid & who didn’t, or who did the damage. They can collect from you if they think you have better resources.

We need to do better than the old “I had to suffer with roommates so you should too!” especially when young people think stuff like the “Klarna Hack” is smart and normal. We can’t encourage kids to sign leases for tens of thousands of dollars with strangers who might be so unhinged that sharing space isn’t even physically safe.

I know y’all don’t need this lecture, but we need to stop knee jerk saying stuff to young people that directly contradicts previous life advice. We can’t encourage kids to ruin their financial lives then call them dumb when they listen to us and get screwed over.

Also can we stop telling them that the tax bill from discharged debt is worse than the debt itself? That doesn’t even make sense, especially when I sort of believe that a 1099 for discharged debt is an urban legend. Even if it happens I would have gladly paid income tax on my forgiven student loans instead of having to pay off the student loans. Bankruptcy doesn’t ruin your life either. It’s a constitutional right to a fresh start.

Sorry about my rant. I just don’t understand why people don’t see that “get a roommate” is financially the same thing as cosigning.

I have a travel insurance policy. I saw an unexpectedly big payment from my account and thought “that can’t be right”

My monthly fee is now > 320% of what it was when I opened the policy *less than four years ago*

Sure, other prices are going up but come on. How can that be reasonable? Has travel risk increased by >300%?

Progress today in the form of buying a lot of needed plumbing parts, and trying to route some wires.

Further fun with the 3D printer deciding to play up in hot weather too.

Meanwhile, @Kuniti_shino got more bus paintwork done.

But to truly get ourselves to a safer, better position, we need to keep well fed and keep this progress up. That means more #mutualaid, especially while my work paychecks are about as reliable as the chances of not being kidnapped by Nazis for some Trumped up lack of a reason.

I got one step closer to resolving our DMV issues today. The next steps cost more money though!

We need $60-300 for the immediate DMV matters (I cannot elaborate too much on it here for opsec).

We also need food money and repair money for the car ($20) and the bus's engine (depends).

We need a towing dolly to pull our car around ($400-2000)

Finally, if you know anyone with land we can park on for a while in eastern PA or NJ or NY state, please let us know.
