I could see it as a stopgap, but not a solution.

We've had years to figure out alternatives. Continued reliance on Elon's goodwill was always going to wind up here. It was a stopgap that became a crutch that became one insane Republican having a veto right over Ukraine strategy.

Really think I've found the best stopgap job I could ask for. I love this place.

“Nevertheless, when a citizen paints a crosswalk or builds a bench, whether as a stopgap as an act of protest, it can also exert a sort of “productive tension” on a city, said Lydon, one that can compel a static government to act much more quickly than it would otherwise”

What if making your neighborhood safer means breaking the rules?
Neighborhood vigilantes are making their own crosswalks, bus stop benches, and DIY bike lanes. Not everyone’s happy about it.

Have you looked to see if there is a cat café near you? Maybe a stopgap for feline affections until you can have one of your own again. 🖤

Fuel prices are hitting working Mississippians hard. You shouldn’t get sticker shock every time you fill up.
It’s time for action: immediately suspend the federal gas tax and make the diesel relief stopgap permanent.

Before anyone dares accuse me of prosletyzing tables - no. Ample other tools I use and would actually preach on, tables are just an elegant modality of design that can be used to broadly satisfy many issues in a stopgap.
I'll not recommend a door when a window will due. Let alone a wall is needed.

bare minimum i expect a democrat to do, at any stage of government, is to at the very fucking least act as a stopgap for all the evil authoritarian bullshit republicans wanna do to me and my community, and y'all let us down every single time

Next is the autumn refinery maintenance window. Units that cant be repaired without stopping will go offline during peak demand. That is when K2 stops being a stopgap and becomes what everyone reaches for at the pump.

He is what he is, IMO. (And that's not a bad thing, really.) He's a good stopgap piece to get you over as a backup for a week or two. If he gets 10 touches, you feel safe.

While i don't support ai slop ports, i think they're gonna serve as a stopgap for most people over buying new hardware. i think we may be facing a new napster style situation, except every involved party is shootigng themselves in the foot by having conflicting interests

This is why you need a complete turnover in personnel, using NG and other military as necessary as a stopgap in the meantime.
I’m pretty worried about ICE/CBP going blue-flu to ratfuck the next Dem administration tbh. I don’t really think there’s a good counter to them doing malicious compliance and stopping even normal enforcement, then going “sorry, we had to let that child predator go, due to woke” to sympathetic media
We are at the peak of ICE's ability to organize support for its activities before Democrats start taking more power & disrupting their efforts. And even when we do places like Florida will double down on state support to help facilitate whatever Congress tries to prevent.

As much as I want to avoid going back to work in that tall building on monday, I need the money to fund my move to Canada and well... if that goes well i always planned on it being more of a short term stopgap job so... also quitting that fast would be crazy and pretty sure i'd get blacklisted
