They've since taken the page down after the Washington Post inquired about it.

Coast Guard: Having trouble making ends meet during the shutdown? Try having a garage sale, babysitting, or be a mystery shopper!

i paid for my ps3 by selling my WoW account after my guild broke up.
this is ridiculous, though from the thread title i thought this was the coast guard offering advice to general federal workers not coast guard employees.
I paid for my PS3 by being an idiot and getting a $1000 loan at 12% interest.
This is such crap on the Coast Guard's part lol.

Reminder: Despite the U.S. Coast Guard being a branch of the U.S Military, they are subject to the government shutdown because they receive their funding not from the Pentagon but from the Department of Homeland Security.
Consider having a charity fund and raiding it constantly for personal expenses, no matter how small even if it's just $7 for your kids boy scouts membership, and without declaring any of it to the IRS. Not that it matters since they're closed too.
I seriously had to google mystery shopper lol

You want to start a fundraiser with no cause?

Coast Guard families told they can have garage sales to cope with government shutdown
We're not paying you so how about you meet us half way guys?
Listen, just hawk some gold, sell some organs, your kid doesn't need new pants.

They're not worth the effort. Garage sales are insulting because the vultures expect everything for free or next to nothing.
I've seen inquiries by federal workers not being able to pay their heating bills. But apparently you might be able to get interest free Loans from a few federal employee credit unions or claim unemployment
"Have you tried spending more time away from family and friends, in order to survive through this bullshit temper tantrum the president is having?"
Nah Garage sales are pretty much for pocket change and to get other people to get rid of your garbage for you so you're not just stuck trashing it. I would never expect to get actual value out of a garage sale.
i just googled the title and got it as the first result. what are the odds that the coast guard did the same thing?

"Have you tried sucking dick? There is endless demand for certain services."
Yep. The primary purpose of a garage sale is to scam others into hauling your garbage away.
pretty sure just one character decked out in full BWL gear could nab you that much.
Not sure what anyone expects the Coast Guard to do about this. They probably have regulations that a tip sheet has to be provided when employees haven't been paid in x amount of days. They're literally grasping at straws because they have no actual advice. The situation is fucked
Hey I'm sure some don't mind. My coworker today told me that he expects TSA workers to continue working without pay because their job is too important. When asked what he thinks about those who live paycheck to paycheck and can't afford to wait for the government to reopen, he said it doesn't matter, they should work and forego pay. Lots of people think this way.
Same.
I imagined something more like a personal shopper who buys the equivalent of lootboxes.
"Also try theft! See, the gun owners are smart because they'll have a leg-up on robbing their neighbors!"
My wife and I have been selling things around the house we don't need since this shutdown began. We also had a cash offer for one of our two cars, but we were unable to complete the transaction because my wife was involved in an accident when she was on her way to find part-time work.
At the rate negotiations are going I guess I won't be able to buy her anything for her birthday in February nor have a party for my son when he turns 5 in March.

yup.
had a night elf druid that i got field marshal gear with, plus one of the hammers from those random spawn dragons that we beat. Then i got some badass gloves or boots from the boss dragon in BWL. he was pretty decked out at the time.
I had some random guy offer me 1k for my Tier 2 Thunderfury Rogue in vanilla. Still kinda kicking myself for not doing so. Reading that you got $600 for that makes me think I could have gotton much more.
Not for me they aren't, aint nobody want my precious bodily fluids, trust me.

First they accept the bribes to let them through....
then they start confiscating the contraband and then resell/sellback...
then they have so much "side-money" they wonder why they weren't doing this to begin with.
