And it is getting worse, so why sell a ride able bike for $10 when you may need it?
I look for the price of common items in 1964 when we had silver in our money. Price items silver coin and it will tell you if you are ahead or behind inflation. Food and gasoline are behind. are about to jump, big time.
James Howard Kunstler called it "Yard Sale Nation" in his recent books; one called World Made By Hand. In this book he describes how people will refurbish and repair items, sell them in community yard sales... making things by hand bartering for goods, it's here with us now. An epiphany is spreading like wildfire that HOARDING is an ordeal at the end of the day; and the cause of much pain and suffering for individuals and, incongruent to the rhythm of nature. Take what you need leave the rest.
In Europe they ahve had "Flee markets" sor decades and in the UK we have weekly "Boot fairs" Boot = trunk ... They are not really looked upon as a sign of decay just part of the fabric. I used to go a lot... now just sometimes because you never know when you will find a silver spoon for 10 pennies... it can happen. ;0)
Yeah he needs to pick his words more carefully. There is nothing black market about it. Nothing contraband or black. What is illegal is the taxation they put on the goods you buy , in the big box stores stocked with slave labor made goods. Using tricks of international exchange rates to keep there skeems of commerce afloat.
@TheGraniteFlaneur lol I do gotta admit, it's like this guys never seen a garage sale before. "Underground, black market, thrift store sale" Is what I'm putting on my lawn sale sign next year, that outta get people over to my house lol.
Lol! I live in San Bernardino/Rialto area this doesn't bother me at all I'm use to seeing broke people every where. I have actually learned to live with less and I'm quite happy and you can keep the house and the picked fennce with 2.11 kids that shit is obsolete.
People need to get it through their thick heads that we are not living in the 1960s anymore. The days of finding a nice girl, or a nice fella, and going off to the suburbs to "play house" are OVER. The days of strolling IKEA and LOWES to find crap to put in that house are over. See all the garbage piled up alongside the curb? This is the vision of America you better get used to cause this is what's coming. Suburbia was a one time American conceit that is dead and gone. It's OVER. Deal with it.
George-- Our first bike was shared with my two brothers. Our mother paid $5 bucks for a used bike in about 1961. Dad was trying to establish a school to train medial assistants, and mother was an RN. There was no money for anything, and I remember my aunt's boyfriend( a grocery store mgr) subsidized our food budget with over-dated meat and produce. The men in my family were the free enterprise breed. On my dad's side, all the way back to the dissolution of Jamestown. Indian traders.
@NiggadickJaxHD already true in some upscale suburbs of Kansas City. NOT allowed! A few have $100 permits for garage sales allowing no more than two per year. I read variations are common in many cities. Gvt hired 10,000 more IRS agents to go after garage sales, eBay, Nickel Shopper mags - -all forms of cash economy. Louisiana now illegal to pay cash for 2nd hand merchandise. They think this will stop untaxed private sales (ie flea markets). 10,000! WHAT will they add to economy.
@w0tm what will 10,000 more IRS agents add to economy? In Seattle(?) cops shut down/fined kid's 25 cent a cup lemonade stand in their front yard. Hassle everyone to death. Domination. Fear government. This is the new America. If it stands, sits, moves, exists - tax it! In KS they have juggled laws so residents (me) pay sales tax TWICE on mail order purchases. THREE times if large company (ie Amazon) that reports sales to states.I just bought books from Amazon, 7% sales tax was 21%!
George, you're increasing becoming irrelevant. Where you used to offer good commentary on world affairs, you lowered yourself to talking about garages sales just when the show is beginning. Man of Truth the same.
You know, instead of giving all that "bail out" money to the banksters (which seems to have been the plan, the entire time), they could have just given every human being $50,000.
Do you realise that ?
The money owuld be flowing round in the economy, and being used to export an import - as it stands, the bankers are just wallowing in it, and its not being used.
They need to be arrested - but WHO is ognna try that ?
@fatfantastic answer is NO ONE! The Executive Branch includes law enforcement. The Federalist Papers included the question "who will enforce the enforcement branch?" The answer seems to be we've been lucky with those in the Executive Branch usually being honest but many would say this question is now real and may soon end or greatly diminish the personal freedoms of US citizens as some perceive Obama et al dishonest trying a "power grab"to become our entire government!
I hoinestly odnt know whqat planet youve been living on, if you call them honest. Not the same one as me, thats for sure.
I think you'll see how honest they are all, soon enough - as soon as you have cause to come in contact with them (and they will be creating that cause, dont worry).
I think in history, its called a "cull" of the people. Like what russia did AFTER WW", and China, Pol Pot etc. - they killed about 100,000,000 between them, in a few years, and it might be us next.
@fatfantastic Unfortunate few understod what I wrote.Call it whatever but Marshall Plan extended into 6 decades of socialism HURT those countries subjected to it. Countries who received SOLID jump start then left to stand on their own two feet with free market capitalism prospered long term (i.e. Japan and Korea - especially Korea) with 100% HONEST capitalism. Honest capitalism has never been allowed in US! Entire world now sinking into abyss of NWO oligarchy slavery.Tks to emotions.
Hey George, why don't you make videos about the winners in our society, and stop making videos on the losers. If you think like a loser, you will become a loser. If you have a positive attitude, and the will to survive and thrive you will.
In SLO county Ca, you can't do this anymore. People were setting up "garage sales" that never stopped and the county came down on them and created new rules around garage sales. Now, you have second hand stores all over the place.
This the most stupid video i have seen? Seriously black market yard sale lol are u the police state ? I live in oz and we have garage sales ,trash n treasure market that lots of people go to including myself and i have money i love finding all kinds of things ?next u will b trollin Ebay as a black market service
@BigRocky99 With a U6 unemployment rate at 16% not everyone can find a job... But I agree with you that drinking beer is not the right answer. The sad fact is, that we will se a generation or two with very small chances of ever finding a job. The current system is rotten to the core and will collapse within 2 - 3 years max, it is simply not sustainable.
@robert4you I ADMIT I am a bit HARSH. You make a good point. The reason I FROWN on this is because after my dad & oldest brother died I turned to BOOZE & DRUGS for solace.......NOT THE SOLUTION. Sober for MANY years now. I am now disabled & my thought is this: wait til they TAKE AWAY social security from seniors, disabled, disabled vets, vets benefits(those jobless & NOT disabled). THEN the REAL SWHTF will result. Probably SOONER than what you say.
@BigRocky99 I understand. It is OK. You should see what a mess things are here in Europe now. The banksters together with corrupt politicians have destroyed the economy both in Europe and the U.S. Italy and Spain have immense debt. Only way to delay the crash is by letting the European central bank print money: France want this, but the Germans refuse - they know this will cause massive inflation. The youth unemployment rate in Spain is now 48%. Suicide and drug use increases drastically...
@robert4you Just like England. there are some into 4th generation of welfare. When payments become permanent (we're getting there) and gvt $ is at least what minimal no skills job pays when you include cost of transportation etc. people quit in droves and "go on the dole" as they say in England. A few suburbs outside London and Paris (their "inner-cities" are in suburbs=go figure) unemployment is 90%. The few jobs are gvt workers and shop owners. Jobs cost employer $15/hr with all expenses
Looks like Manassas Park, Va. right outside DC where I live. This is what happens when you let illegals and section 8 losers buy homes. Thanks FEDGOV! Not...
ahhhh yaaaaaa my boyyyeeee, t4g....how ya doing g...still slummin' in da eastside ghetto...yaaa boyyee, u need 2 get on up out ta dere...westzide reprasentin' corinta crown baby...yo keep up da good work t4g....
Get out a book & read! You do, George. Bravo. I was heavily black mkt in NYC in the late '70s when the city was nearly bankrupt. Neighbors who didn't even know each other would set out clean clothes on the railings to take. By the '80s, I'd started bartering cooked foods for car rides with neighbors in Brooklyn. It was usually convivial. Americans are now trying to sell a lot of stuff but there are few buyers w any real cash. They've been blindsided, but have been warned!
I've been seeing a lot of that lately when people are starting to sell their personal belongings in front of their house. People are looking for ways to earn extra income.
@SpaceReel a 40 is a Malt Liquor, like Colt 45 and like the gun it packs a punch at a low cost of ownership, Less then $3 for a Colt 45 that will knock you on you ass.
@chadberry75 so how long ago have human civilization been farming? Long before the industrial revolution when mechanization started factoring into farming? Fossil fuels are our problem.
@seamaverick1 Ditto for us. We ditched Wells Fargo some time back. I understand Norman Goldman moved his account three times, and Wells Fargo kept buying out the banks he moved to. So he's keeping one jump ahead of them I guess.
@masonkim7 misery sells - ask any TV producer. Shows about people being successful are non-starters. Like people slowing down to see a car wreck so they can think "at least that's not me".
@masonkim7 Unfortunate few understod what I wrote.Call it whatever but Marshall Plan extended into 6 decades of socialism HURT those countries subjected to it. Countries who received SOLID jump start then left to stand on their own two feet with free market capitalism prospered long term (i.e. Japan and Korea - especially Korea) with 100% HONEST capitalism. Honest capitalism has never been allowed in US! Entire world now sinking into abyss of NWO oligarchy slavery.Tks to emotions.
@w0tm I chuckled a bit when you used the term 100% HONEST capitalism. Nothing is honest in life. The only things that are true in life are the basic instincts of man. Love, hatred, compassion and greed. Greed is good. It serves humanity well. Without greed, and wanting to out do others, we wouldn't be here. We'd be the same as animals. We have to acknowledge that. If we have evolved and learned from our past mistakes, we'll make changes in the system.
@masonkim7 you're getting into psychology. Not my area of much knowledge. I agree - nothing it 100% and nothing is 0%. You get into engineering and math there which is my expertise. Fear and greed are to two basic instincts of mankind. Virtually every action is driven by one or the other. Sometimes both.
Example would be the stock market. Greed and fear are both good and bad. Depends what drives each one in every circumstance. OWS practices greed as much as anyone.
@w0tm But if we haven't yet, which saddly I suspect, we'll still give into one of the basic instincts that we are lucky to have evolved. Greed. The power struggle has happened all throughout time. The current system is all the more possible because of technology which was born because of that greed. It's a full circle. You and I conversing right now, we're all contributing towards the system. Of course we have to put in more rules and regulations within the financial sector and seperate
@masonkim7 As an engineer guess it boils down to everything being my fault. At least the world now agrees with my wife. I expect to be the topic of Obama's next major speech. "I've discovered the REAL cause of all of our problems. It is not GW Bush and all Republicans - it is an unknown engineer out in Kansas. As I speak tanks have surrounded his house and SWAT teams are rappeling onto his roof with orders to capture him as they did Ghadaffi. I, your president, have saved the world! Yeah me!"
@w0tm politics from croney capitalism etc etc. Maybe it is time that change will come forth from the turmoil. Look at the Middle East. But unless we experience something worse, nothing drastic will be done to put real change within the system. If the current situation in Europe explodes, and the whole world experiences another financial meltdown, then the percentage of change happening will increase. If not, we'll have to live with the same thing amidst minor changes,
@masonkim7 just like all of the "experts" who "knew" all that was coming (ie Gerald Celente - nice guy and sorry he lost BIG bucks) but selling himself as an "expert" commanding major $ for advice in reality I probably knew as much as he did re MF Global.I certainly knew Bernie Madoff was a scam.NO investment plan returns the same $ EVERY year unless it is guaranteed to do so like a CD.But some very "smart" people lost millions. Financial anarchy is coming soon.The mega-rich losing can be Hell.
@w0tm The uber-rich believe they have the system wired to guarantee they win - until someone even bigger comes along and steals their marbles.Hell Hath No Fury Like the Mega-rich Scorned.Maybe this will teach them to pay attention to their assets.NO ONE cares as much about their riches as they do..Lots of garage sales being held in Greenwich CT in drives of $20 mil mansions. OWS crowd should be happy. The 1% are still there - they just got moved to the other end of the spectrum!
@w0tm and wait for something that really pulls our heads out of our asses. If our planet can take the abuse we're throwing at her, then I suspect that a global government will come out and propel humanity into space. To increase our boundaries, and to increase our pie of greed. Just the same as what history has shown us. This is all on the basis of 1. no world wars happening, 2. population continues to explode, 3. no major financial meltdowns 4. and a world government gaining traction.
@w0tm So if your man enough, and want some real change, pray that the financial mess in Europe explodes. If that happens we'll have to weather the financial shitstorm for years to come. But in the end, chances of more meaningfull changes happening in the system will increase. OR it might only increase the stranglehold that the 1% currently enjoys. In the end it's all down to a combination of dice rolls adding up to history being made. Or broken.
Now that they have lowered the mandatory minimum penalty for the sale of Crack Cocaine; these area's will be decimated with crime and drug dealing; Better get out of doge soon.
They probly would live alot better if they sold those new pile of crap cars for a decent amount of money and just got a old 79's or 60's family car and truck alot better on insurance WAY!!cheapper on parts WAY!!! easier to fix and tons more reliable too.
@dunn98632 My mechanic brother would probably agree with you but unfortunately another mechanic told me that China has been buying up old cars for the steel and many or most of those old junked cars may no longer be available. I recently was going to fix the bumper on my Chevy Starcraft Van and learned that a used or new bumper for it wasn't even available anymore.
This vid is an example of the new normal. The new economy, the new just surviving, the new just barely scraping by. on and on. We have been in a new period of time for a while now, that we will see things that we have never seen before. Our society is changing at break neck speed. Learn to adapt and survive---or die. It really is that simple. Soon enough, the government entitlements will end, and the food riots will begin. Again, learn to adapt, or pay the price.
I dont know how to say this lightly ,so i'll just say it. WE THE PEOPLE need to enforce ourselves using the 2nd amendment,its in our constitution not for Deer Hunting but as a means to resist tyranny,.sure the govt would try and sick the military on us,in my belief alot of the Military would not fire on us,Some would,some would kill thier mother if ordered.armed resistance would mean a total shutdown of the country,no commerce moving,people not going to work,schools empty.change would occur
@BorderCityBandit I'm with ya man... I was just watching abc nightly news, they wear talking about the egypt riots starting up again.. I was thinking that's what we need to do.. Their military has problem killing them, what makes you think are brain washed military would not do that same?? It sounds bad but i don't think 70% of them would even hesitate pulling the trigger ... Look at the cops pepper spraying a 75 year old lady! If the had orders to kill thy would no doubt...
Look at that suff it's all women's stuff. Mad blue light special shopper. Never the Less it's sad they bought into this false economy.. Thinking, the fun good time s will never end.
I was kind of surprised when I held a triple estate sale for my mother, father and grand daughter that only 4 people showed up from the advertized sale & had no sales of course.
Soon you wouldn't be able to pay in cash, Alabama was the first state the citizens allowed their "elected" government to pass a law prohibiting the use of cash for second hand (used) items, converting into a crime to pay in cash....reality stranger than fiction.....
The excuse: the same as always "we government do everything for your 'safety', you just have to stfu and comply"......
@w0tm You aren't looking at the big picture. Thatcherism and financialization of the 70s US were necessary in the context of deindustrialization and free market capitalism. What saved europe was the EU and protectionism which enabled them to develop their markets and retain their productive capacity. Globalization is the downfall of modern economies because ideas are pushed into the result in the enslavement of labor.
@vanvanbluz You are correct this was a very long term plan to enslave us all. Seems to be working quite well. Not one person in one hundred realizes the chains are already around them and locks in place. There will be n escape this time. People were fed false history and they accepted it. Even if everyone "woke up" today it is TOO LATE. When the FEMA camps begin what number will be etched onto your arm?It will mean life,death or hard labor and torture.Actually it will be an embedded chip.
Hey G 4T did you hear down in LA (as in Louisiana) they just passed a law that 2nd hand dealers that sell regularly ( 2 times a month or more including gargae sales) can no longer accept cash! Yes they did. Not sure how they got that passed but it is a fact.
Hi George, I just got my notice last Thursday, I am out of job as of Mar 2, 2012, or maybe sooner, I known this was going to happen, but now I have a real date, its still hard to believe, this is happening, Calif jobs are moving out fast
Try to get a letter of recommendation from your boss or even a supervisor who isn't directly over you. Also get the full names, numbers, and email of friends at work so you can put them down as references. Right now, unless you've been a total ass (which is unlikely) you'll have some sympathy going for you. USE THAT SYMPATHY to get the letter and references.
Some people spend money to make themselves feel better after they get laid off. Bad IDEA! Watch every penny!
@Bonnie90505 North Dakota IF you have the oil worker skills. Check first before moving! ND is filling up fast with people with NO skills employers want. Unemployment benefits in ND very LOW. Many moving to ND - stay a week then move back to California. Check first and have a good job lined up IN ADVANCE! ND is becoming tent city. Winter coming. Disaster looming. Entire families in tent at 20 below with no chance of a job. There ARE jobs elsewhere but do looking BEFORE moving!
My aunt lives in Fresno. And yup Fresno has so many yard sales. Before it was only on friday, saturday and sunday. For the past 2 years, you can see people having week-long yard sales. For many it was their only source of income.
For "authority" (i.e. law enforcement, politicians, unelected appointed government and NGO people with power over others) it was always "SERVE AND PROTECT". Now it is "CONTROL AND DIRECT". Many would add "SUBJUGATE, BELITTLE AND DOMINEER". How far will it go before citizens fight back or will they just allow themselves to be destroyed? I really don't know. Thus far real resistance is minimal. Activities like OWS have been hijacked by authority itself! Is there an answer? Is the end near?
@w0tm What I have observed over many decades is that it is much easier to protest overbearing government when the economy is basically healthy, as it was during the Vietnam War era. It seemed to me that since then the Repubs purposely brought tougher times to America partly as a way to control the population. Now that the US economy has been undermined by outsourcing as well as high unemployment, it looks way out of control, it's hard to see how things can ever work out again.
@bodryn Not sure I'm following you but I think we agree we are "going down for the third time". No fourth time. BTW - Neither Bush was a Republican if you (I do) lean Conservative. Bush's/Clinton/Obama was one long period of planned more government and hard(er) times. What comes next will be even worse. Things will never "work out again". TPTB who pulled the strings of those in office the last 20 years are close to their One World Government and complete control over the 99.99% of us.
@w0tm My take on it is that the more that big money was necessary to run for major offices, the more it was just people with money who could get elected. In 1976, I understand that neither Ford nor Carter accepted donations, just ran using government funds provided. Yes, NWO should probably be called OWG, if it isn't already. Corporate donations are necessary, but most big corporations are transnational, thus not loyal to the US. This depression will dwarf the 1930's.
@bodryn We lived in a house much worse looking that these in this video around 1980. My workshop was in a small 1 car garage along Central Expressway in Silicon Valley. Steve Jobs was just starting to rip off Southern Bell in those days. 1979 was possibly the greatest year in my life. We were poor, in love, and living a very frugal life-- but I was engaged in the lower tier of free enterprise; my wife was a talented hair stylist that rode her bike every day 10 miles one way....
... to a job in downtown Los Altos, where she styled hair for very selfish and self-centered rich women. Her talent was expected-- but seldom rewarded, for she is quiet and reserved in her dealings with people. The flamboyant reward STYLE over substance. She changed jobs and took a position in a strip business center where her tips improved and she rode closer to 4 miles one way. One day she had a bike accident and broke her collar. I learned what was most precious to me that day.
I've worked my way up in this game without compromising my integrity and quality. I worked for hundreds of affluent people in the Bay Area. Seldom was I rewarded for my talent-- for I had a quiet and reserved manner.
Those were the richest days of my life-- there in the barrio-- for we were very poor, but we didn't know it. All around us people were making their fortunes, and investing their profits. We also invested out profits, in each other, and in tools-- preparing for the Great Crash.
For many high-rollers in Silicon Valley it was very easy to sell-out people like us; because selling out was all part and parcel of their high stakes game. Sell out America for whatever you can get-- for the people will rebuild it all again and again. We have a lot of talent in this great country-- we simply lack genius in the high end; visionaries are creative people, and creative genius is often gone unrewarded. Now, clever thieves-- that's another story.
@carefulcarpenter I would find it hard to deal with people with such a sense of superiority over other people. I grew up on a farm where most everybody was essentially in the same boat. I enjoyed the farm despite not having much. The lifestyle suited me and I learned a lot of skills that way. I can't imagine what kind of life young people could go into at this point. I guess they just need to learn a basic skill they like. If they like it, they'll get good at it, and enjoy life.
@bodryn People with the sense of superiority I can deal with as long as they pay me what they owe me. The problem that is difficult to deal with is pettiness-- for it is usually a sign that people are willing to cheat to get what they feel they are entitled to. The sense of superiority is usually shrouded in a persona that at first is flattering and disarming. Sense of superiority can be our own inferiority feeling disrespected. A good dose of self-respect is healthy.
A persona of "false humility" is often the cover for the great inferiority complex. People with low self-esteem come in all flavors and colors, and their lives are mostly a lie. True wealth transcends the ages. Secure people have no great need to win, or to cheat. Win-Win--that's my game.
@carefulcarpenter My dad was a farmer but we moved to town when farming became a lost cause for most folks. He built our house in town, then built up the business with the house as evidence he could do it. The last years of his life, he was always building a house - would rough it in in the summer with plenty of inside work in it for the winter months: cabinets, trimming, whatnot. I worked for him 7 summers while going to college, which is how my college was first paid for.
@bodryn Good on you~! Much of my family in the past 160 years was in farming. I did some extensive genealogy research the past two year. I learned much about the American Agricultural economy and migration. They weren't always farmers, BTW.
"I became a soldier, so that my son could be a farmer; so that his son could become a poet"
@carefulcarpenter We are much alike. I am now retired but I built 5 companies from scratch employing hundreds. Never took a nickel of gvt largess or obtained business by WHO I knew. Old fashioned I guess. NOT the Obama/Corzine/Madoff/Soros on down "crooks in suits" of today. I'm proud of the hundreds of people I gave opportunities to - they earned every penny I paid. I ENJOYED writing six figure paychecks! Yes, I knew crash was coming and I am prepared. I even wrote a book on survivalism.
@bodryn You wrote what I've told young people a thousand times. Give your employer your flat out best effort no matter what you are paid. YOU will be the winner. I did that all my life including the 35 yearswhere I was the owner and boss. Always worked the longest hours and set examples. I ONLY hired self starters. Only one person in ten is a self starter.they are born not made or trained. I always believed better to have a superstar for a yr then a gopher for 35.
@w0tm I've been that superstar a few times. Once in SF for a contract furniture company. The boss called me "the Great Randini" the magic man. In the end, the star moves on. The mediocres rule the planet. This is why the principles of free-enterprise are so vital to capitalism. Eventually, the best people will be sent packing.
@w0tm My mission for the last 8 years, and getting excited about hitting the streets soon, it to tell the story about great people I've worked for. Hope you will check out my story"the handyman and the king". I'm looking for those customers that don't have to be sold-- for they already recognize a motivated, honest, and talented man when the see one. 1 in a thousand; 2 in a ten thousand. You know what I mean. ;)
@carefulcarpenter Unfortunate few understod what I wrote.Call it whatever but Marshall Plan extended into 6 decades of socialism HURT those countries subjected to it. Countries where they received SOLID jump start then left to stand on their own two feet with free market capitalism prospered long term (i.e. Japan and Korea - especially Korea) with 100% HONEST capitalism. Honest capitalism has never been allowed in US! Entire world now sinking into abyss of NWO oligarchy slavery.Tks to emotions.
@w0tm Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge. I don't hate socialists or the collective agenda, but they don't seem to want me. I lived in the most socialistic state in the union (Minnesota)-- a great state BTW-- and very corporate. My family were some of the first Europeans into Wisconsin and Minnesota ( US Indian Agents, traders) and were intermarried with the Original People. I moved to California were I could prosper independently with an independent wife.
There is a side to collectivism that can rob a person of their passion, creativity, and a sense for adventure. I come from a legacy of adventurers, pioneers, explorers, and self-reliant souls.
@carefulcarpenter few people understand mega corporations and socialism are brothers under the skin. Keeping small companies from becoming big and damaging ability of Big Business to conduct monopolies is good for Big Business and socialism helps them do that! Big Government/Big Business is the enemy of the common man who wishes to prosper building his business. IBM, Apple etc look at the list of who they contribute to. Most publish their contributions as public companies. 95% go to (D)!!
@carefulcarpenter sounds like you are the type of person who can live independently anywhere unless held down by violent means (ie Germany in the 30's - America as soon as Martial Law is declare (soon) and we officially become fascist Nazi-like brutal dictatorship.Google H.J. Res. 5. This and hundreds of other laws are in line only waiting "Executive Orders". It will come with no notice (of course( begin at midnight) by 6 AM thousands will have "disappeared". By 6 PM FEMA camps will be
@carefulcarpenter people lk you can survive on their own anywhere unless held down by brutal Nazi-like oligarchy dictatorship Progressives as we are about to offically become.Google H.J. Res.5 Hundreds of such laws hidden from public all to be enacted midnighsome night with Executive Orders.By 6 AM many thousands will hv disappeared.By noon FEMA camps will be rapidly filling up"Useful Idiots" whovoted Hope/Change will be in denial. 72 hrs millions will be dead.Obama zealots to the end!Fools All!
@w0tm Statistics make it clear that fewer and fewer people are feeling confident that they can achieve their dreams. Rather than advocate some political philosophy, maybe it is for us to try our best to help our fellow human beings to live up to their potentials. This was my philosophy - education, that maximizes human potential. Not telling people what to do, but allowing people to find themselves.
@w0tm A man can be very successful at his business, but that in itself does not make a successful economy that works for everybody. In a world where there are many different kinds of human beings, many different talents, we have to keep in mind that policies have to be developed that allow the greatest variety of people to achieve their dreams, even when those dreams are still in an inchoate state.
@carefulcarpenter When your book is published let me know and we'll swap books.During my years in business I wrote hundreds of magazine articles (and speeches)-mostly technical electronics.Never had time to write book until I retired."Survivalism" but amazed at ostrich in sand mentality of most Americans.80% of sales come from OUTSIDE USA! Now writing two more books plus several magazine articles and designing/producing line of special purpose electronic products.Retired for a month-went nuts!
@w0tm I AM writing my book; I've been doing it online for 10 years. It is an interactive story, and you are now helping to write your chapter. I document everything I write-- and the responses. A craftsman in pursuit of truth and the Huguenot Dream.
@w0tm A CEO that I met on the Wharf in town, was impressed when I told him I knock on doors to find work--"find a need and fill it"; he asked for my card; I asked for the street he lives on. ;) He said that I am in the top 1% of motivated people. Yes, I am a great self-starter and worked long hours for people; though in the end I discovered that people were NOT rewarding my talent and effort-- but living well of of it.
I still work efficiently and skillfully, but the rich have become lazy
@bodryn I agree! I'd add NWO PUSHED formation of mega companies then tax policies forced companies to become multi-nationals. Most now have no home country and thus no allegiance. Halliburton is HQ in Dubai now!It is now crystal clear this was planned and set in motion in 19th century. FDR had us on road to socialism in 1939 but ww2 got in the way. Weak new prez could not stop capitalism in USA. Turned loose in Europe as Marshall Plan and wrecked economies of Europe. Few people read
@w0tm how can you be so idiotic to say that the marshall plan wrecked economies in europe, it helped many economies in europe get on their feet! Stop talking your ignorance!
@vanvanbluz Boy! you have really bought into "history written by the victors". Truman sent Macarthur to Japan with same orders (socialism) but he put Japan on track of free mkt capitalism.Truman either missed it or couldn't stop success.Europe finally came to a head when unions shut down UK. Thatcher had show down just as Reagan did with unions and both won. Broke the backs of socialism both continents. BUT it was only half time as socialism is again on the march winning big time as NWO.

The items in these yard sales are not cheap because the money isn't worth anything.
You tell me what I can buy for $5?
Less than a pound of hamburger?
not enough to by a fast food meal?
8 or 10 ounces of of cheese?

James Howard Kunstler called it "Yard Sale Nation" in his recent books; one called World Made By Hand. In this book he describes how people will refurbish and repair items, sell them in community yard sales... making things by hand bartering for goods, it's here with us now. An epiphany is spreading like wildfire that HOARDING is an ordeal at the end of the day; and the cause of much pain and suffering for individuals and, incongruent to the rhythm of nature. Take what you need leave the rest.

George-- Our first bike was shared with my two brothers. Our mother paid $5 bucks for a used bike in about 1961. Dad was trying to establish a school to train medial assistants, and mother was an RN. There was no money for anything, and I remember my aunt's boyfriend( a grocery store mgr) subsidized our food budget with over-dated meat and produce. The men in my family were the free enterprise breed. On my dad's side, all the way back to the dissolution of Jamestown. Indian traders.

@NiggadickJaxHD already true in some upscale suburbs of Kansas City. NOT allowed! A few have $100 permits for garage sales allowing no more than two per year. I read variations are common in many cities. Gvt hired 10,000 more IRS agents to go after garage sales, eBay, Nickel Shopper mags - -all forms of cash economy. Louisiana now illegal to pay cash for 2nd hand merchandise. They think this will stop untaxed private sales (ie flea markets). 10,000! WHAT will they add to economy.

@w0tm I chuckled a bit when you used the term 100% HONEST capitalism. Nothing is honest in life. The only things that are true in life are the basic instincts of man. Love, hatred, compassion and greed. Greed is good. It serves humanity well. Without greed, and wanting to out do others, we wouldn't be here. We'd be the same as animals. We have to acknowledge that. If we have evolved and learned from our past mistakes, we'll make changes in the system.
masonkim7 3 months ago
@masonkim7 you're getting into psychology. Not my area of much knowledge. I agree - nothing it 100% and nothing is 0%. You get into engineering and math there which is my expertise. Fear and greed are to two basic instincts of mankind. Virtually every action is driven by one or the other. Sometimes both.
Example would be the stock market. Greed and fear are both good and bad. Depends what drives each one in every circumstance. OWS practices greed as much as anyone.
w0tm 3 months ago
@w0tm But if we haven't yet, which saddly I suspect, we'll still give into one of the basic instincts that we are lucky to have evolved. Greed. The power struggle has happened all throughout time.

Of course we have to put in more rules and regulations within the financial sector and seperate

Many would add "SUBJUGATE, BELITTLE AND DOMINEER". How far will it go before citizens fight back or will they just allow themselves to be destroyed? I really don't know. Thus far real resistance is minimal. Activities like OWS have been hijacked by authority itself! Is there an answer? Is the end near?

@w0tm What I have observed over many decades is that it is much easier to protest overbearing government when the economy is basically healthy, as it was during the Vietnam War era. It seemed to me that since then the Repubs purposely brought tougher times to America partly as a way to control the population. Now that the US economy has been undermined by outsourcing as well as high unemployment, it looks way out of control, it's hard to see how things can ever work out again.

@bodryn Not sure I'm following you but I think we agree we are "going down for the third time". No fourth time. BTW - Neither Bush was a Republican if you (I do) lean Conservative. Bush's/Clinton/Obama was one long period of planned more government and hard(er) times. What comes next will be even worse. Things will never "work out again". TPTB who pulled the strings of those in office the last 20 years are close to their One World Government and complete control over the 99.99% of us.

@w0tm My take on it is that the more that big money was necessary to run for major offices, the more it was just people with money who could get elected. In 1976, I understand that neither Ford nor Carter accepted donations, just ran using government funds provided. Yes, NWO should probably be called OWG, if it isn't already. Corporate donations are necessary, but most big corporations are transnational, thus not loyal to the US. This depression will dwarf the 1930's.

@bodryn We lived in a house much worse looking that these in this video around 1980. My workshop was in a small 1 car garage along Central Expressway in Silicon Valley. Steve Jobs was just starting to rip off Southern Bell in those days. 1979 was possibly the greatest year in my life. We were poor, in love, and living a very frugal life-- but I was engaged in the lower tier of free enterprise; my wife was a talented hair stylist that rode her bike every day 10 miles one way....

... to a job in downtown Los Altos, where she styled hair for very selfish and self-centered rich women. Her talent was expected-- but seldom rewarded, for she is quiet and reserved in her dealings with people. The flamboyant reward STYLE over substance. She changed jobs and took a position in a strip business center where her tips improved and she rode closer to 4 miles one way. One day she had a bike accident and broke her collar. I learned what was most precious to me that day.

I've worked my way up in this game without compromising my integrity and quality. I worked for hundreds of affluent people in the Bay Area. Seldom was I rewarded for my talent-- for I had a quiet and reserved manner.
Those were the richest days of my life-- there in the barrio-- for we were very poor, but we didn't know it. All around us people were making their fortunes, and investing their profits. We also invested out profits, in each other, and in tools-- preparing for the Great Crash.

For many high-rollers in Silicon Valley it was very easy to sell-out people like us; because selling out was all part and parcel of their high stakes game. Sell out America for whatever you can get-- for the people will rebuild it all again and again. We have a lot of talent in this great country-- we simply lack genius in the high end; visionaries are creative people, and creative genius is often gone unrewarded. Now, clever thieves-- that's another story.

@carefulcarpenter I would find it hard to deal with people with such a sense of superiority over other people. I grew up on a farm where most everybody was essentially in the same boat. I enjoyed the farm despite not having much. The lifestyle suited me and I learned a lot of skills that way. I can't imagine what kind of life young people could go into at this point. I guess they just need to learn a basic skill they like. If they like it, they'll get good at it, and enjoy life.

@bodryn People with the sense of superiority I can deal with as long as they pay me what they owe me. The problem that is difficult to deal with is pettiness-- for it is usually a sign that people are willing to cheat to get what they feel they are entitled to. The sense of superiority is usually shrouded in a persona that at first is flattering and disarming. Sense of superiority can be our own inferiority feeling disrespected. A good dose of self-respect is healthy.
carefulcarpenter 3 months ago
A persona of "false humility" is often the cover for the great inferiority complex. People with low self-esteem come in all flavors and colors, and their lives are mostly a lie. True wealth transcends the ages. Secure people have no great need to win, or to cheat. Win-Win--that's my game.

@carefulcarpenter My dad was a farmer but we moved to town when farming became a lost cause for most folks. He built our house in town, then built up the business with the house as evidence he could do it. The last years of his life, he was always building a house - would rough it in in the summer with plenty of inside work in it for the winter months: cabinets, trimming, whatnot. I worked for him 7 summers while going to college, which is how my college was first paid for.

@bodryn Good on you~! Much of my family in the past 160 years was in farming. I did some extensive genealogy research the past two year. I learned much about the American Agricultural economy and migration. They weren't always farmers, BTW.

@carefulcarpenter We are much alike. I am now retired but I built 5 companies from scratch employing hundreds. Never took a nickel of gvt largess or obtained business by WHO I knew. Old fashioned I guess. NOT the Obama/Corzine/Madoff/Soros on down "crooks in suits" of today. I'm proud of the hundreds of people I gave opportunities to - they earned every penny I paid. I ENJOYED writing six figure paychecks! Yes, I knew crash was coming and I am prepared. I even wrote a book on survivalism.

@bodryn You wrote what I've told young people a thousand times. Give your employer your flat out best effort no matter what you are paid. YOU will be the winner. I did that all my life including the 35 yearswhere I was the owner and boss. Always worked the longest hours and set examples. I ONLY hired self starters. Only one person in ten is a self starter.they are born not made or trained. I always believed better to have a superstar for a yr then a gopher for 35.

@w0tm I've been that superstar a few times. Once in SF for a contract furniture company. The boss called me "the Great Randini" the magic man. In the end, the star moves on. The mediocres rule the planet. This is why the principles of free-enterprise are so vital to capitalism. Eventually, the best people will be sent packing.

@carefulcarpenter Unfortunate few understod what I wrote.Call it whatever but Marshall Plan extended into 6 decades of socialism HURT those countries subjected to it. Countries where they received SOLID jump start then left to stand on their own two feet with free market capitalism prospered long term (i.e. Japan and Korea - especially Korea) with 100% HONEST capitalism. Honest capitalism has never been allowed in US! Entire world now sinking into abyss of NWO oligarchy slavery.Tks to emotions.

@w0tm Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge. I don't hate socialists or the collective agenda, but they don't seem to want me. I lived in the most socialistic state in the union (Minnesota)-- a great state BTW-- and very corporate. My family were some of the first Europeans into Wisconsin and Minnesota ( US Indian Agents, traders) and were intermarried with the Original People. I moved to California were I could prosper independently with an independent wife.

There is a side to collectivism that can rob a person of their passion, creativity, and a sense for adventure. I come from a legacy of adventurers, pioneers, explorers, and self-reliant souls.

@carefulcarpenter few people understand mega corporations and socialism are brothers under the skin. Keeping small companies from becoming big and damaging ability of Big Business to conduct monopolies is good for Big Business and socialism helps them do that! Big Government/Big Business is the enemy of the common man who wishes to prosper building his business. IBM, Apple etc look at the list of who they contribute to. Most publish their contributions as public companies. 95% go to (D)!!

@w0tm Statistics make it clear that fewer and fewer people are feeling confident that they can achieve their dreams. Rather than advocate some political philosophy, maybe it is for us to try our best to help our fellow human beings to live up to their potentials. This was my philosophy - education, that maximizes human potential. Not telling people what to do, but allowing people to find themselves.

@w0tm A man can be very successful at his business, but that in itself does not make a successful economy that works for everybody. In a world where there are many different kinds of human beings, many different talents, we have to keep in mind that policies have to be developed that allow the greatest variety of people to achieve their dreams, even when those dreams are still in an inchoate state.

Yes, I am a great self-starter and worked long hours for people; though in the end I discovered that people were NOT rewarding my talent and effort-- but living well of of it.

@bodryn I agree! I'd add NWO PUSHED formation of mega companies then tax policies forced companies to become multi-nationals. Most now have no home country and thus no allegiance. Halliburton is HQ in Dubai now!It is now crystal clear this was planned and set in motion in 19th century. FDR had us on road to socialism in 1939 but ww2 got in the way. Weak new prez could not stop capitalism in USA. Turned loose in Europe as Marshall Plan and wrecked economies of Europe. Few people read

Thatcher had show down just as Reagan did with unions and both won. Broke the backs of socialism both continents. BUT it was only half time as socialism is again on the march winning big time as NWO.
