Steven left federal service a few months ago, and I just recently heard about it. I should ask him whether he's still been able to make his house payments, but I'm not in a position to respond to any requests for assistance that might follow.

(His former $EMPLOYER is a different agency than my $EMPLOYER. His banned employees from using any kind of socnets, so he left the Fediverse. Now that he's no longer with that agency, I should ask him about returning.)
