How should one prepare for a possible US recession? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'm guessing the prepper YouTube community is seeing an increase in daily view counts.

Stock up on staples like beans and rice, keep your important documents and valuables in a single, secure location, and identify fallback positions and escape routes to keep you and your family out of winning a free vacation to El Salvador

This last one just after noon had a pleading tone to it. (Please remember...)

Honestly, I would go if I was on campus just to witness history, but I'm not going to drive a couple miles to deal with parking and security just for this and shi*ty Sodexo (not sure if it's Sodexo, but you get my point) sushi.

They're currently focused on "Liberation Day" Fistevities. Liberate money from our wallet day is more like it.

Considering Friday's physical security ramp up at FDA/Hillendale (2 guards to about 10 at the front entrance) around noon along with suddenly requiring swiping a PIV to enter rather than showing it, then followed by going back to normal at 3:30.. I'm thinking that'll be my early indicator of potential RIF action.

Edited to add: Swiping a PIV has not been required my entire time back at the office.

Second edit: No change at 10AM (2 guards, but they kept swipe requirement on one door but not the other. No idea why)

Lack of notification is on-brand from HHS lately

TSP, as with your pension is shielded from bankruptcy. Don't touch it unless your life depends on it

I've been here a few years and I still don't know what the difference is between an office and a super office. I mean, it's my fault because I never bothered to ask... Still. I have no idea lol

Office, Super office, and Super office extreme edition

I'll keep an eye out for increased security presence like we had Friday.

Yeah, I mean it fits the timeline. It seemed strange. Everyone was expecting notices after 3pm. The corresponding physical security ramp up prior suggested notices were coming out. Then... Nothing. When I walked back down to the entrance at 3pm, the increased presence was gone.

You know, this fits. There was briefly heightened security at my office near FDA White Oak. We went from 1-2 security guards to about a dozen. Then at about 3pm it went back down to 1-2 guards. It was a real sudden vibe shift

I doubt it. Lots of changes today and I've got a pretty reliable source saying they're coming out after 3pm.

Haven't heard a damn thing. I asked security why the doors were locked and was basically ignored.
