Or I can pop in a digorno which is the the exact same GMO crap made in the exact same way they do at a chain? B) Drive to a job every day for $12/hr, when 1/5 people are on subsidies that effectively pay more than that? C) Drive to a movie theater with one other person and pay $60+ for one movie when you can get six months of netflix for that? D) Drive to a concert/sports event when I can watch the best performances of every band that has ever been recorded in the comfort of my home, on $30 headphones that sound better than millions of dollars of gear and idiots screaming and talking. I can also pay $2 a drink for good stuff. Instead of $12 for piss water. I can also use my own toilet. E) drive to a retail location. Any retail. Park, walk, get harassed, pay 10% more and sales tax than what I could get is shipped from an internet retailer for free? ... etc ... The next big shoe to drop is people unloading all the collectibles they kept before the internet. happening now. you can't even give away cd's & dvd's, vinal are losing value. books and vhs?... our local waste reclamation ste has huge collection of all titles. Time. Who has time? So the big cry is that reality T.V. is vapid. As an old person I can say that 90% of the crap that hollywood put out ove the last 30 years was indeed scripted reality programing used to justify the lifestyles of the TPTB and their minions. Soap operas like Dallas, Dynasty,etc. All the Cop and Firefighter themed shows. All the campy 1980s movies like pretty in pink that really just made the slaves think that the people in charge are cool and deserve their lifestyles, when what they did for a living was largely the crap that has caused the economic and cultural collapse of the USA. The young people of today see through all of this crap. So much is changing and will continue to change. |

"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

The real unemployment rate by raw figures, is at about 30% right now. Of jobs left, 40% are represented by employees of federal, state and local jobs, NON PRODUCTIVE, NO PRODUCING JOBS. Their paychecks represent debits on the debt side of the accounting sheet at the Federal Reserve. THE JOBS ARE ALL ADMIN. NO SCREWDRIVERS. Meaning, no construction, no manufacturing, no sand candles to take to market, no crops. We are eating the produce of Mexico and South America and growing nothing but poison GMO corn for high fructose corn syrup and soybeans for filler. Save your nation. Manufacture something, market it, produce it, take it to direct market. Get out of debt and stop using credit to the greatest degree possible. Get out of banks and be your own bank. We are in big big trouble. Turn off the propaganda machine and get out in the communities. Talk to real people and stop looking at well groomed media circus clowns. this needs to go viral... Yes. Glad I came back to this thread. |

A few years ago, I would just drive where I want to go if it were more than 4 or 5 hours away.. Now I get on a plane.. been to the airport lately.. flying is generally cheaper unless you have a car full of people. |

If the government stopped its taxation this country would be the most prosperous nation the world has ever seen. But someone is keeping the lid on us. But who? When TARP was used to pay all-time record bonuses to bankers, they said it was academically necessary. Even though these same people are the ones who had unlimited power and failed absolutely. Not a single one went to jail, they got to keep the bonuses. And they got 5 years of QE to try again. All of this was paid for with absurd taxation levels via a comical tax code on the living and yet to be born. Until America has systemic tax reform, we will continue to be slaves. Slaves are the least productive, least creative, least adaptable and most depressed workers possible. |
