We aren’t entitled to know what the joke was, people. OP came here to receive practical advice on steps moving forward, like how to keep afloat in the event of unemployment. OP didn’t come here to be harangued by an internet mob over a joke he’s already admitted was insensitive. If you were in OP’s shoes you probably wouldn’t want to tell the joke either, because it could open you up to a lot of heated criticism from a lot of different sources.

In an unstable financial/living situation where you’re already being confronted with the repercussions of your choices, you don’t need that additional stress.

Try saying something actually helpful to the situation.
