you actually believe that crap about working your way to freedom?

>>yes


I've done the research man it's a hamster wheel. Working people have so little time due to full time slavery they rarely if ever have children.

>>business owner, 4 kids

Look at you, how many years you been working? And you're still in the city.

>>Been self-employed 7 years, hired help this year. Yeah I live in a small city.


Only way to freedom is by getting land through any means possible.
Step 1. Move as close as possible to a rural area.
>>skipped

Step 2) buy some affordable land. I.'e. Suburban home.
>>first purchase was a city core midrise condo, sold last year
>>2nd purchase was luxury condo, assigned and took profit
>>3rd is my detached family home in midtown
>>4th is duplex out in BC, rented out.

Step 3) use your land as leverage to buy enough land for subsistence for you and your family and-or intentional community.
>>great idea, but wifey is a city slicker

Step 4) plant food forest
>>also great idea

Step 5) make co creation centre where can make anything one can imagine.
>>please explain, never heard of this



Step 6) enjoy 7+ generation freedom
>>planning on it

Have you ever played an RPG? Or a board game like Monopoly?

You can level up in life if you have freedom, especially in Canada. I know this personally, you have to follow the money.

As long as you work a job and gain transferable skills, you should be always looking for a job that pays more but works you less, keeping your monthly expenditures about the same and saving the excess.

You should make credit work for you as well.

That money set aside could be used to train yourself or improve your material situation.

You see, perhaps unbeknownst to you, you are making an assumption.

Namely: that only 1% of people can be entrepreneurial i.e. manage their resources and time to catapult themselves into an improved economic situation.

The truth is only 1% of people have learned to do so, when perhaps 20% can do so.

So if we stop teaching our kids in school to be slaves and force multipliers for other peoples businesses, to stop seeing themselves as their transcripts and their net income after taxed salary, and to take their natural talents and monetize them, then far more people could have the freedom you wish they had.

————-

It is a mistake to give people land freely.

It would be a gift to free people to buy their own land.

Take off their actual chains, namely a slave mentality and crushing taxes, and an actual financial education.

I know, it sucks. The Delta variant is so goddamn infectious that short of police holding people down a vaccinating every single person, herd immunity probably isn't happening.

If you take the S&P500 growth and divide by the Feds Balance Sheet growth it really puts things into perspective…

@skells @zpartacoos Sure you gotta teach and preach as well, but the industry needs to be established first, then a school. Today's schools are based on today's industry. So mostly just preach.

What I see is that market is huge, but for people who can tap into it finding a job in one corporation or the other is easier than starting a business. Less responsibility, no risk, don't have to deal with clients directly. Some do though and succeed to various degree. It's not so hopeless, the industry overall is still very young. Look some people who started it are still alive, those bastards!

NYC has decided that discrimination is the way to go. No vaccine? No dining out.

31% of blacks in New York City have gotten the vaccine. How are they going to explain refusing to service the other 69%?

This has nothing to do with keeping people safe and everything to do with segregation. They are excluding people from society that they deem unworthy to be in their presence.

@skells @zpartacoos so go convince one neighbor to run a free OS. If it works convince another one. If it works really well maybe make a business out of it (consultation, installation, warranty), and drop your aspiration for the holy grail that will solve the problem for everyone across the globe. The holy grail is local independent experts serving the general public directly (like yer mechanics or plumbers) and you can only be one of them.

Things looking better in the UK. Gotta be said this wouldn't be the case without a high vaccine uptake so there's no doubt that those who took the vaccine have taken a risk that has paid off in the short term.

Whether this risk was necessary, and whether those who took the vaccine were truly informed about the risks is a different question.

At a certain point you've got to take a win and, fingers crossed, we've got one.

What this has shown us about how our societies communicate and make decisions has been sobering though. We don't want to fight the last war and looking at the US that war is still being fought.

We need a full spectrum campaign for more transparency and decentralisation in our institutions, because the next gray swan will come and we're not even free of this one quite yet.

Primarily this means securing our means of exchange (BTC) and communication (???) alongside more traditional pushes for more representative government.

As long as we're disempowered we'll spend our time arguing the toss about conspiracy theories rather than taking action to push things forward.
