Yeah if we end up buying the one we are interested in, they don't specifically say you can't have farm animals, but they say you can't have anything that is a nuisance, so my guess is that any more than a few chickens or maybe a couple goats would probably be a nonstarter, but maybe that would be enough.

That's a great idea actually (people who are willing to finance). We got excited about one option we thought was that, but then we found out after the fact it was actually just a temporary ate buydown they were gonna pay for (aka nonsense).

Yeah it was a pretty good video; easy format to share with people who don't know a lot about the financial system also.

Thanks man, that's our thinking also, pertaining owning making it a lot easier to set up your security/self-sufficiency situation, I feel like if we are renting from somebody else and shit really hits the fan we're just gonna be kicked out and fucked.

that's another thing that makes me think that it's a good idea to buy now, the fact that BlackRock was buying up houses at the top of the market last year; those guys are not idiots.

Thanks man. This has been weighing on us also. We came from an HOA and we swore we would never get into another one because it was exactly the nightmare that you're describing, we spent thousands of dollars getting a front door that we liked and then the HOA tried to get us to fucking change it because it didn't match the original guidelines, even though everybody loved it and it matched the neighborhood perfectly, bunch of fucking liberal weasels sneaking around behind our backs trying to Wreck us. We thought back and won, but it put a really bad taste in her mouth. The problem is, sometimes the trade-off is worth it. Even though it was a fucking nightmare dealing with those assholes, the neighborhood was great and the green spaces were great and there was a lot of good things about it. It's really tough trying to figure out what to do. The HOA that we are looking at now is very cheap, just like how you were started, whereas ours where we left was seven times more expensive per month.

BTW, I just calculated, the HOA where we were for five years went up over 25% in that five years, and when we got there it included cable Internet and TV, and when we left it did not.

I woke up at 5am ish and clicked this video and watched it, and it helped to solidify my fears about the boomer retirement / die-off spiral, and is also adding to the "wait it out" side of the scale. Thanks for the link. I'm gonna check out more of his videos today.

We are looking at a semi-rural, decent sized lot but less than an acre.

We talked about doing that as well. I don't think we'd do well in an RV. Half of our issue is that we've become spoiled :/

Thanks man. Ugh, this sucks. We want to buy so bad, and prices came down some here, but it's not a cheap house. From an investment standpoint, this would need to be long term (10 years). But as much as my instinct tells me the market is heading lower, I also know that the real course of events always surprises everyone. People like Michael Burry and Peter Schiff are talking about how it's gonna crash big. Whenever the people who predicted X last time start predicting X this time, and everyone starts believing it, it never ends up happening.

Then... the elephant in the room, the 7% interest rates. The same monthly mortgage costs somebody +35% more than it did last year, and I feel like that just has to be reflected in the prices, but, like you said, houses are not liquid, so there's stickiness... it might take 2-3 years.

My posts speak for themselves - for example:

I've made quite a few long-form posts with really obviously non-shill info. I am not a shill, other than perhaps shilling for physical gold at times, which could more accurately be described as shilling against fiat currency.

I sometimes link to cabal-owned services (e.g., a couple non-affiliate Amazon links in the post above, and a few YouTube links, etc.), but I know consuming anything on these services is a vice, and I have no good excuse for using them; but I don't shill for them.

The title 😂

Real talk though, everyone get buckets of food, rice, beans, freeze dried butter, etc., and plant some veggies in your yard.

Get 20 gallons of water per person, too.

Get 2 Sawyer Squeeze water filters per person, too.

Oh yeah that's right; it's so fucking weird how often can we see these "the bad guys got caught!" larps... just like operation trust.

I don't fully understand. Are you saying because this story was reported in conspiracy circles and now it's in the mainstream media, or are you saying because conspiracy circles were reporting it as having just happened but it's actually an old story or something?

Vitamin D helps, in particular, with mood, depression and anxiety. It's one of the most important vitamins to not be low on. But don't overdo it (4000 is max daily without K). That said, I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice.

I would find a small manufacturer and get a job there, and earn a decent wage while learning the ropes, save my money, and then find a niche to start my own operation. I'd talk to other people in manufacturing and find out what they can't get quickly or consistently enough, and look into what it would take to make that for them and how much margin you can make. I know a boat manufacturer, and he's got a dozen different major components he can no longer reliably get, and so his $800k boats sit unfinished for 6 months at times. Most of these parts are fiberglass or aluminum and don't require a foundry or inaccessibly expensive setups to make (e.g., an aluminum gas tank).

I think manufacturing is the right answer.

There is a global decoupling going on, and much of the raw materials and manufactured goods that we've imported from Asia over the last 35 years are going to need to come from somewhere else. Domestic manufacturing, especially of essential steel and aluminum products (tools, industrial components, weapons, etc.), is going to become increasingly important because of this. if we go to war on a global scale, the economy will be mobilized, but you will still be able to make good money as a manufacturer in the leader and aftermath.

One of the great benefits of getting into manufacturing is that you can create some thing and sell it directly to consumers now, which means that you could be your own boss and your own distribution channel.

Yes. All of this.

Especially the part where all the young people are like soft, pale pigs filled with grease with soft half soy beards covering their ugly too-many-different-phenotypes-in-my-DNA faces that have underdeveloped chins and cheekbones which are due to eating pink soy slime without any testosterone, and living in dark pods with their single moms.

I'm general, yes, but I'm primarily interested in whether that Screen Sharing overlay is a spying software or if there is some kind of reasonable explanation.
