Sorry for the black pill… but there’s really no other way to address this issue. we NEED to be prepared for the worst case scenario even though we may not ever get there. And those who have not yet prepared, let’s help them out.
Here’s why one needs to be prepared for the worst…

And I can go ON AND ON AND ON AND ON!!!
I think it’s time we help each other with preparing for potentially the worst. I believe we will jump into a severe depression, so our commodities may actually end up being tradable goods and benefit us.
Please contribute information for our fellow community members who may not understand much about prepping. I will comment below as well.
And on top of all that, don’t go forget to pay your taxes. 🙃
With how sore my asshole feels after every paycheck I think we can throw RAPE in there as well
It's not YOU being raped, bigot.
It's your paycheck. Have some empathy, racist!
OnLy wYmiN cAn Be rAped yOu sExiSt piG!
You must be a biologist!
What we all have right now, is taxation without representation and it's serious. Your vote was ignored so Biden could be installed.
Property and income taxation are also unconstitutional.
edit: should be "are", not "is"
The worse is sales tax when you buy smth. Why they hell are we paying when we buy something.
22% federal; 5-7% on goods and services (somexs 10%!) and capital gains on anything you buy that increases in value and you want to sell it!
you can deduct the cost of improving your house out of the profit b4 they collect the tax, but not the endless hours of labor you invested instead of working a second job.... where you would be taxed! and might throw you into a higher tax bracket.....
Exactly because it immediately stops people from being involved with politics. If we’re spending time protesting, or attending every single school hoard meeting, then we aint workin, and will be homeless.
It’s designed to keep the people preoccupied
Excellent point; we mistakenly think that paying these unconstitutional taxes will get done what should be done.
Yeap
Property @ federal level yes
so Called Income- at every level.
Property at EVERY level. If you pay taxes on YOUR property, that property is not YOURS. You are just renting it forever even though you may possess the deed. The Constitution is clear: Article 1, Section 9, Clause 4.
Income taxation, definitely
It is also murder!

(this is just the money going for all PP's 'services', if we entered the unjust war zone, it would be significantly higher)
This was a major facet of the COVID lockdown.
Get people inside, away from each other, and watching TV for endless updates on the faux crisis.
This is war unlike any we have ever witnessed. Real MKUltra type mind manipulation shit going on. Truly evil.
Fortunately, the tool of the Cabal's war shall become the means of their demise. T'would be most unfortunate should an EBS interrupt all that propaganda...
They’re fear porn addicts. You can’t even watch a weather report without them playing ominous music for rain storms. Seriously? We need music for the weather??
I watched main stream global a couple of days ago, i was blown away how blatantly obvious the propaganda is. I havent watched msm for years. Even the commercials are brutally racist and biased. Its crazy that people dont see it.
KEK. Jokes on them. I had zoom evenings with other like minded people where we talked about all the stuff that was happening and shared resources such as how to do stuff for yourself.
It's both frightening and laughable.
Frightening because everyone and their mother 'stand with Ukraine' because the TV told them to.
Laughable because the real world effect was a half dozen blue haired 370 pound ver/zhe non-binary turtle owners signed up for war. Hopefully the Nazi army they are joining will find the humor in it as well.
Q community says a lot of things haha
10 days of darkness should just about do it!
Long as it's only ten days of darkness.
Last time we believed 15 days, it turned into 2 years
Hurricane Flornece a few years ago gave me 10 days without power. I survived just fine. As long as you have canned goods, water, and fresh towels to handle the humidity with, you're good.
I was a nurse on Mississippi’s coast for Katrina. 3 weeks out of power for us. We did just fine. Our community pooled defrosted food, fired up grills and fed linemen. National guard came to our rescue with supplies on day 3. It was eye opening how a disaster can pull everyone together.
Hurricane Floyd was the worst I’ve been through & I didn’t really have it bad. Those that lost everything were the ones that suffered. I was just inconvenienced for short while. It was like indoor camping. We learned you can cook more than burgers and chicken on a grill. My cousin lived a few miles away. We went back & forth to eat & shower. One day my power was out the next her’s, etc. I think they were cutting power to conserve. Can’t say for sure because I’m not an expert in utility work.
IDK, once most people get their convinces back they soon forget. Look at all the natural disasters people have been with out modern convinces. Indoor plumbing, electricity, phone, internet & when it’s over people go back to normal.
👏 We have several generations of kids who have become adults hooked to video games. I’m not downing video games! However it’s up to the parents to set limits. There will always be sorry people in every generation. Some people are just lazy scumbags that want to live off others work. Others were never taught hard work & that’s what we are facing today. The majority of people under thirty don’t know how fix anything. Think about the generations to follow them. Thankfully some still want to learn and there’s good how to videos. That’s the one positive about YouTube. My husband was never trained to work on cars. He’s learned from YouTube. He rebuilt a motorcycle from YouTube videos.
Think about the generations before them!
Your perception of "there will always be sorry people in every generation." is astute, so allow me to sling some mud on the ones that came before me.
Our parents generation took everything to a mechanic, and waited until it broke and was dead on the road to call a tow truck to get it there.
No concept of preventative maintenance whatsoever!
They did this with everything, kids, relationships, jobs - if it wasnt it deadass in front of them, or blasted on the tube, it didnt exist!
And they got the nerve to blame everyone else who came after them about the mess they SEE ON TV.
They used to make me think I was some asshole kid for pointing this out as a teenager, but after listening to grandparents complain about them, and listening to "the salt of the earth type of people", I learned we had a lot of similar complaints.
went to dinner with new friends --the husband is based-- works with mine-- but the wife's hobby is to binge watch tv, gets her news from cnn, and works in a hospital. aggghhh -- nice lady but VERY naive! (& no, she's not fat. just brainwashed.)
I will have to get to know her better -- and control myself better than last time -- if I have any hope of educating her.
I think of it like this: when my daughter was in the 6th grade, the little sisters were being sued over their unwillingness to fund abortions. I simply asked, "What if I made you take part of your allowance every week to pay for cat abortions, because, you know there are too many cats and they will just have a bad life without a good home."
Sweet sweet girl, highly principled, was HORRIFIED at the thought of someone killing kittens.
Seeing this at the top comment gives me hope that we will get through this precipice perfectly fine!
Don’t forget the fees for everything! In my opinion that’s just another way for the state to get your money. Fee is just another word for tax. New car fee License fee Building permit fee (not that we do that) Some do! I’m sure I’m leaving out a lot.
yea, i've wondered how prop taxes will work if paper money has no value and our esg score is too low to play? hubby says don't worry about it -- local level will find a way to get their pound of flesh, so..... --?
