not sure that getting fired is a suitable punishment for removing posters, but the removal of posters about missing children is a heinous thing, social ostracization is a more fitting reward.
ooo I got one for ya - got this for my mother, it’s both a utensil (sort of) and a gift idea. so difficult to shop for my folks, they dont “need” things anymore. anyway --> apple peeler/coring machine
reading? I’m guessing you have a phone or a laptop now (else how would you post). lots of good, free books available on the internet.
regarding the car - used car prices are still pretty high, if you decide to sell it then the sooner the better. maybe look into getting an ebike or scooter as a replacement.
