Eddie Cochran speaks for me, for all of us

We all should have and still should, raise a fuss and a holler, as it were. Hell my family didn't even have a car to borrow for a chunk of my youth and I couldn't have borrowed it to go a riding on Sunday
because my dad needed it to work his second job and I was very possibly working 1+ jobs myself.

During high school, however, I saved enough for student memberships in the ACLU and, later, SNCC. Why? Because I really needed to, I really felt I had to. Today thanks to fortune, I am better off and better off than many. Despite the propaganda about full employment and all that, we all know that poverty, hunger and homelessness run rampant. Times are tight.

Nonetheless, this place cannot run on tunes and good will, it takes money, honey. Really, I mean

I mean really, up in the upper left are the donate buttons and some donate infor. We need to fund the place and provide at least a tiny bit of remuneration for the ship, captain and crew who created, built, funds and maintains it, JtC. So really let's see if we can get Johnny singing:

So, c'mon, folks, pony up

so, like, boogety, boogety, boogety shu.

I expect more assaults on my pension, (Hell, I've been dealing for 3 years with people telling me that I NEED to get back to work, even though I'm a wreck. I live on maybe 23 dollars a day, and there are entire weeks I don't spend a penny. Somehow, that's LAZY to the PTB... after I've taken a fucking bullet for them.)

I'm not a prepper, YET, but I am absolutely not forcing my kids to believe in the American lie that if you do well in school and work hard you will be successful. Instead, I'm telling them to find the joy in what they love to do. Work and money are what you HAVE to do to survive. It is not your life.

If I could right now, I'd honestly be investing in a commune. My SO and I wish we could just homestead in a national park before the goddamn Corporations strip mine them.

I do not pretend I know what I do not know.

@detroitmechworks communalism via sharing provided that we have the resources. Having a place, however, is a big part of that, or some truly discretionary income, and preferably both. I don't see anything resembling a movement in that direction blossoming, however.

@Wink
Is one acre per couple to survive.
Forget where I read it. But sounds about right in my experience growing a garden. Alot depends on climate. And, of course, that is continuesly changing everywhere.
It's becoming a crap shoot of where to go.

Dylan Ratigan is part of a company that essentially puts a farm in a box that can grow crops 24/7/365 anywhere on the planet, except maybe the poles.
Less than I thought.... about $200K - $400K
Not cheap, but financed over 20 years it's doable.
These things are Global Hunger killers.

We wanted decent healthcare, a living wage and free college.
The Democrats gave us Biden and war instead.
