Edit: I saw this online and assumed it was satire. After some digging, I was actually able to find the actual craigs list posting: https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/washington-seat-fillers-needed-june/7857143452.html

I am not sure if this is a joke CL job add, or if it's a serious call for seat fillers. Replying to the CL add to see if it's legit, or bullshit.

"Paid in cryptocurrency" there it is

So it's a volunteer gig

Here’s your $1000 in crypto.

Why did you only send 930? No, wait, 720. ah, I get it. It’s 1,004 now. Quick how do I convert these 845 to dollars? Let me make an account on randomExchange and send all my 428 crypto tokens there. Now complete KYC to cash out 167, entering my bank account and… success! I finally managed to get my $2.65

Definitely not Doge or Melanias crapcoin

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's a dumb take. Unless you sit on it, you'll sell it and get most of that value.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You really think they aren't going to give a shit coin that tanks before people have a chance to sell, or some other shell game?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I think if it were me I'd be prepared to sell immediately. But to say it has no value isn't close to correct. You can sell a trump coin today for roughly 10% less than you bought unless you hit that big spike in October.

I'm not saying that all of that isn't insane, but you could 100% get something that has real value that can be traded into traditional currency.

It would be fantastic to sign up to see if you can work to get paid, devalue actual supporters value, and maybe get a chance to shit stir and important fascist event. Sigh, a man can have his pipe dreams 😑.

To say it has no value underestimates the opposition and ignores an unfortunate dumb as fuck reality IMO.

That craigslist listing was updated 6 hours ago, now it says

compensation: Flat Fee of $1,000, paid in cryptocurrency - Provided by FIGHT FITE FIGHT LLC

Yeah I think it's satire and they changed the name of the LLC so they're not impersonating the real grifters. (Fight Fight Fight LLC is, according to another comment, the actual name of the group behind the Trump coin.)

Guard Soldiers Deployed in Trump's LA Crackdown Aren't Getting Paid Yet

The 4,000 California National Guard soldiers who President Donald Trump surged into Los Angeles remain unpaid due to delays in issuing official activation orders, leaving compensation and benefits in limbo.

According to more than a dozen Guardsmen across four units who spoke to Military.com, none has received formal activation orders, the critical paperwork that not only authorizes their duty status, but also unlocks pay, Tricare health benefits and eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs services. Without those orders, troops remain in a legal and administrative limbo.

This is not satire :-)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

its 29 days orders, specifically so the govt doesnt have to pay more "monthly" stipend plus other amenities. if they were to go 30days the govt have to pay much more money to the troops.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

The image I posted has NOTHING to do with the military.com article. The military.com article relates to national guard troops being dispatched to LA and not being paid. The image I posted is a call for actors to be paid stand ins/seat fillers at the trump parade.

After some digging, I actually found the craigs list posting exists: https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/washington-seat-fillers-needed-june/7857143452.html

However, no way to know if the CL posting leads to real jobs or if it's just a joke.

However, the fact that Trump never pays his debts is not satire. That is correct.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I know. It's just that unlike the satire post, which says they pay, the 'real' jobs don't get paid. Just wanted to joke around, but probably I'm mistaken or it was a dumb idea (sorry, if so).

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My bad. I saw this image and assumed it was satire. I did find a real CL gig post, but have no way to determine if it's a real job posting or if it was put up as satire. The joke about Trump never paying his debts went over my head, and in that case it is not satire. I'm sorry I misunderstood.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

No problem. Have a great time.

Fight fight fight LLC, lol

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 days ago

Sad part is although the ad is fake, Fight fight fight LLC is real and it's one of two entities that owns the $TRUMP meme coin.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago

"Paid in crypto currency"

Lol, so they can rug pull the coins before anyone actually cashes out.

Crisis actors

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Literally thought this was real for a second until I read the title lol

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

I edited the title to tag it as satire. Every day brings new absurdity. We are on a memes forum, but I could totally imagine people seeing this and thinking it's real because the zone is so flooded with bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Free RED hat you say? And $1,000?

Fucking sign me up to be a pariah for the next hundred years because fuck it, we already deserve it.

- Me-ica.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It was the free fast food and soda that sealed the deal for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Gotta get lunch some how.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

The problem of this timeline we live in is that this could totally be a real ad nowadays.

republicans have mastered the ability of thought projection to the point it warps reality.

Maybe I’m just getting old, but it gets harder and harder to tell.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Had me fooled.
