When the details come out about what exactly is in what brand of food, gardens and storage will be handy. I think we did avert mass starvation. US farms are still going strong. If they tried Europe style regulations there wouldn't be protests just mass non-compliance. Hopefully we will just have to dump some trash food.
Yep we had a guy helping us 12 hours on Saturday and Sunday all summer make enough money to buy an old used truck. Then in December he was here for a week fixing it. Guys like him who work like mad and can fix anything still can barley afford a family. It's nuts.
I think those disappearances were to slave camps or failed attempts to flee cause they weren't found after the war.
Also I don't think they were drafted. The kids were into Hitler youth and most were ok with going to fight. They would have warning and tell their friends they were going. Then before getting a gun surrender to Americans to become a burden on us. Literally one of my grandpa's always says he volunteered because he was sick of working so hard, we were fun he worked two days a week.
Yep. My great grandmother moved from Germany before the war. She is 1/2 Jewish. She was worried that something would happen, but none of her family was in concentration camps or discriminated against. I heard it was because they lived in a rural area but this could be another reason.
We had lots of POW's working on the farm and helped out a bit with them because we knew German. All the POW's we saw were 12-15. Those people had stories about ordinary people disappearing. Classmates or neighbors who said the wrong thing just vanishing.
Yeah it's weird! My area has been white/Hispanic forever in literally the last year it became super diverse. Well awkwardly the schools haven't changed.
All our new people are 30-50 more women then men not planning to have kids. Mine are all escaping the local liberal towns that got to violent. Or at least that was the story I heard 4x in the last month.
Or is it just weird that I've lived in a town of ~1000 for three years, and I may be able to tell you something about everyone in town. Seriously it's hard to go trick or treating the kids hate stopping to talk to everyone.
I don't get they part where the company is in charge of fixing it. I've used protection plans and insurance, it seems like repairs are faster when there isn't a company involved. I would rather if some companies schedule wasn't in charge of when I get to wash my clothes again.
Yeah it's an hour to the nearest thrift store so... Amazon wins. But then again I have a lot of land and we didn't but any fruit or veggies until it froze last week. We were giving away watermelons all summer, we had over a hundred plants. It's just fun who doesn't want a watermelon? They took a ton of space but no effort so it worked great.
Yeah the debt thing confuses me. My uncle borrowed money from my dad to build his house last year, mostly cause the banks wouldn't approve it. Does that not get paid back? Is it illegal to lend to your brother now? Should I have bought the big house of my dreams instead of being debt free? It's all too confusing.
