So when does my white privilege kick in?

I can't believe I'm saying this but it's worse than SFBob outlined, as many in government are being told not to work their regular schedule, but still getting paid their full salary. Dude I know got told to stay home 3 weeks and work 1. Another one is 1 week on 1 week off. Some of it is to maintain the continuity of government and reduce the threat of the virus impacting key offices (since the work is unable to be done remotely), but what the fuck.
Any ideas on where else to put money that can grow tax free? Roth is out, need to see if I can add more to the HSA, maybe I will hire my kid and make her put the money straight in a Roth. 10% tax now way better than the ass raping on future taxes. -
White privilege left?
Nothing's changed with me.

President Trump shoving it right up your ass. Make sure you vote for him again.SFGbob said:Entire firm is taking a 10% hair cut right off the top in terms of salary reduction. We are also going to a 3 day work week which means an additional 40% reduction in salary. This is going to be in place for at least the next 4 months and has to go into effect by the end of April or the business will go under.
And fucking government employees aren't going to miss a fucking paycheck, in fact with the stimulus fraud they just passed many people working in government are going to see an increase in their pay. Just put my property taxes in the mail yesterday. Fucking schools and government offices that I'm paying for aren't even open and yet I'm still expected to pay for these fuckers to sit home and draw a full paycheck and benefits.
Sorry kids, no piano lessons, no summer camp this year. Daddy has got to pay the salary of a fucking government bureaucrat. -

Dodo will crawl through broken glass to vote for Trump. dodo can't articulate what Slo Joe would have done to save us. We do know that bought and paid for Slo Jo would have been last to stop China visitors into the US. dodo couldn't be rooting harder for the away team if he was paid to do so.

Thank God I don't have a young family to care for, its just me. Agree with creepy, it's no longer funny.
There's money set aside, but I need to retain some liquidity. Are the kids going to defer next year or what? I'm loathe to sell my equity at these fire sale prices and compromise my retirement.
The one saving grace I have is this: I've played it relatively safe with my house. Throughout the years, I've had people and their fucking opinions tell me what I should buy. Saying I should buy up or live here or live there. We bought a house in the city a few years back, but went conservative and only bought up in price a little. House is paid for. So I don't have a mortgage hanging over my head. I'm glad I've been fiscally conservative for the most part. Will continue to look at outflow. Like, do I need to insure three fucking cars at this point when nobody is driving anywhere? May drop that to one and suspend the others. There are other things you don't need and it adds up.
The thing that's a bitch, though, is what Bob pointed out: the motherfucking tax man keeps coming no matter how bad shit gets.
Hang in there. There's no fucking way the people are gonna sit still for 18 months of this shit. It just won't work.
And be sure to leave Comp on the suspended cars. It costs next to nothing and at least that way you'll be covered when someone fucks the lock up trying to steal it. -
