Be Prepared for the Future Collapse

Haven't been able to find anything in the news about this development born of the current economic situation in California. Below are two articles that reference Urban Farming, but no one is talking openinly about the huge growth in my area regarding localized urban farming. Spurred on mainly by immigrants out of work and with nothing to do, a growing number of urban farms are opening up in Southern California. I counted 10 within a 5 square mile radius of my home. Entire families are cultivating these localized crops for sale and consumption. In the spirit of Mexico, people turn to the land for extra income and food subsidies. Perhaps this is a glimpse of the further development of America into an Agrarian society.

Well, taxes are going to kill the biggest achievement of humanity:
Division of labor.

And it is even worse her in socialist europe.

Trust me, i make good money but it is way more efficient for me to lay my ceramic tiles myself then have somebody do the job.

Because the average worker has to work 10 hours to afford one hour of a person doing the same job.

And it is not the boss getting rich, it´s the state so bosses try to have as less people employed as possible.

In my case i would say, 5 hours.
Still.

Why work 5 hours to achieve the work done in one hour ?
Totally .. stupid.

That is why people are unemployed and why there are "no jobs" and you will NEVER EVER hear on of those parasites aka. politicians even hint to that problem

Urban Farming for Cash Gains a Toehold in San Francisco
Brooke Budner and Caitlyn Galloway are a common sight on the streets of the Mission district — covered in dirt and carrying baskets of salad mix from their backyard farm to Bar Tartine, a stylish upscale restaurant.

Wild blackberries grow on the property.
"We're fairly scrappy ladies and often pretty dirty," said Ms. Galloway, 29, a part-time sign painter who founded Little City Gardens with Ms. Budner, 29, last year.

But their new piece of land — three-quarters of an acre on a quiet residential block in the outer Mission — is now mostly quiet and overgrown with weeds and without much sign of the lettuce, kale, arugula, purslane, lem

More chickens! Seattle approves urban farming bill
The Seattle City Council on Monday passed legislation designed to encourage urban farmers.

People would be allowed to keep up to eight chickens per house; roosters would be prohibited. The Council allowed a grandfather clause that lets existing roosters remain in the city. The ordinance, which passed unanimously, also paves the way for urban farms and taller greenhouses. Specifically, it would allow:

Urban farms of up to 4,000 square feet in residential zones. Food grown on site can be sold on site. There are limits on sales hours, amount of farm equipment allowed, and size of signs.
Greenhouses dedicated to food production to extend 15 feet above height limits in certain zones.

  • Hey.

    I am 100% behind personal preparedness and survival and healthy living and self reliance.

    Everyone should ready the great works of literature on self reliance and personal independence.

    Everyone should do what they can to get healthy food and water.

    But people should be aware that not all soil is safe. Years of leaded gas emissions have toxified the ground along road sides. Industry leaves all sorts of poison in the soil.

    Just be aware. Test your soil.

  • Even if we had an excellent Austrian economy, I'd raise my own vegetables and meat. It's healthier. Of course our government makes it harder for local organic farms to make profit.

  • that is great going back old fashion

  • Ako'y sumasang-ayon, maraming farmer na mga smart.

  • @Straightsix76 no, they hate everybody and want 90%+ of the population dead.

  • @Rrrayas Yea... no he didn't

  • @SaviourSole lol. It's rural at best. I was expecting to see city building w/ gardens on them..

  • This is offensive, you make all Mexicans sound like backwater peasants.

  • @InflationUS Dude, lol I've seen a Couple of your Video's And do you just go around Spying on Mexicans? Their just bringing Their Tradition. And look at the Land, It looks Beautiful, They've Probably Established a local market and are Trading food and money(chickens) with other Farmers. That is just a Free Enterprise system. And sometimes What appears to be a Step backwards is non evidently a Step Forward. I am just Saying "It's better to live off the land Then to live off china and paper"

  • @drexelohio I agree.
