  • Me I live in my mother's basement in a make shift LIFE CAPSULE so fashioned as to minimize resources and MAXIMIZE the benefits derived. Built it myself for about $4000.00. WORKS BEAUTIFULLY. 20amp circuit. Radiator issuing plenty of heat. Computer with a wireless connection and directv, bed and easy chair, a throw rug ...what more do u need?

    Forget this country, IT'S A PIECE OF SHIT.

    9/11Reichstag, Mercury in the vaccine's ....SIMPLY NOT WORTH THE COST.

  • I have discovered that you cn wash your clothes in a 5 gallon bucket use a mop wringer to squeeze most of the water from them then hang to dry. This is preferable to travel then waiting for your clothes to complete the rounds at the laundry mat. They have plungers with holes and a firm plate in them to wash clothes sure it is premative but it works and saves plenty $ most of all TIME. I have slept in hammocks they weight 2lbs and you can set one op almost anywhere no need to sleep on the ground.

  • Since the truck runs 11 hours a day the frige ran 12Volt if I were to build a tuk tuk motorhome for the poor I would use propane heating the roof would have the best solar panel system one could get probably fold out to use all of its parking and to provide some living shade below the panels. These panels would be to power LED lights laptop, the frige would be propaine so would the cooking, if you could not afford all that then you live close to a grocery store and cook using a solar oven.

  • I was an OTR trucker I was technically homeless for over a year. I lived out of the truck. I had a 12V frige,oven,electric blanket. I was comfortable showered at truckstops sometimes when they were too busy I showered in swim trunks out the side door. With quality health clubs you can maintain your self showering there. With modern day electronics we can do all our reading cooking etc from a small platform. Ultra light back packing etc can teach you how to live light cook using alcohol stove.

  • We earn the money for food easily, food here is cheap we need campgroundsfor tuk tuk motorhomes.Paying rent ,car note/insurance has got to be some of our largest expenses starting out. There are vehicles called tuk tuk they are 3 wheeled so they are registered as a motorcycle they get great gas mileage usually over 50mpg some have pu truck beds on them and some have modified them to accept a small camper. Benefits are low insurance innexpensive to acquire operate maintain. Max 45Mph.

  • America needs to stand up and get fed up, occupy the white house, senate, banks, big business's everyone in America needs to stop going to work and occupy them make these big business's suffer for a while with no production and refuse to work until they get things done we need a total revolt in America , it needs to be broken down and reset again.

  • 2009 : 40 million poor

    Below $ 22,000 is considered poor.
