Hi, thanks for stopping by.

Hope you're well.

And I'm Josh.

This is Dharma Punks, New York.

Tuesday evening gathering at 8 a.m. every morning, Monday through Friday, I should say, not Saturdays and Sundays.

Kathy does her morning meditation, daily pause.

That's a great way to start the day.

And so look into Kathycherry.com.

That's a great place to keep up with what Kathy's up to.

And so everything I do is entirely supported by donations, no advertisements, no charges.

Everything is just supported by the people who listen or who I meet with in counseling.

If you get anything from the talks and would like to support my work,

the best way to throw me a few bucks if you feel so inclined is Dharma punks with an ex-NYC on Venmo.

There's also PayPal.

The info is on DharmaPunks with an ex-NYC.com and there's also like a Patreon.

So that's how I support myself. And yeah, whatever, whatever if you can any small amount is always

gratefully received and that's all of the announcements and now we're going to jump into

the talk our present dayday sink-or-swim economic circumstances are characterized by a very clear,

ever-diminishing lack of any form of governmental safety nets, vanishing job security,

and it invokes in us an intense form of self-reliance, pressure to be productive, to self-optimized,

to be digitally reachable,

and an ongoing quest so many of us have for greater efficiency.
