If they're game animals, they're not supposed to be held like livestock. Captive in a game fence is fine usually, but not like in pens.

How do I make enough money to live? in c/[email protected]

Reach out if you're interested in blue collar work. I'll give you my number and you can call even. I can advise from personal experience on truck driving, water/wastewater treatment careers, or railroad work.

Truck driving has the benefit of being able to cut expenses to near zero by going over the road if you have few obligations. Getting a cushion this way makes settling down and going local much easier, even though I make more local than I ever did over the road.

I don't haul freight anymore either, and I don't think that's a long-term good prospect. Blue collar jobs where you work with the truck but have onsite work with it are a bit more resilient against automation I believe. Think wastewater cleaning, railroad, lineman, heavy haul, etc.

They may cancel your credit card or refuse to open new ones for you, but they can't refuse to charge back transactions you dispute.

Yes, all projects do those things, generally.

Have they had issues with your other concerns?
