1. My family moved to California in 1962, and it was a prosperous, confident, & viable society. What happened?

2. Ten years ago, we moved out to the Heartland. Life here is not perfect, but the economy is solid, and many manufacturers are relocating here.

3. Sacramento wants to raise taxes, but revenue is already more than adequate. SPENDING is the problem, and drastic cuts in local and state spending are the only cure. Start by courteously escorting all illegals to the Mexican border.

thanx for the notes...California grew up and no longer was the frontier with opportunity. No place is perfect and all places have their plusses and minuses. The demand for services outstripped the tier-ed and redundant government consortium's ability to deliver. Costs keep escalating as well...a problem that will grow in the coming short term.

As far as mass deportation of illegals go...better to wait until after strawberry season in Watsonville and Salinas...ha...

enjoy your comments...Walden and projects based on Walden have mostly failed not because of the concepts but because of the people...I live part time on a jungle communal farm in Mexico (ejido) and it is largely a failure not by the concepts of agrarian reform and the Mexican Revolution but by the people that manage these "ejidos" ... follow the muse but be very wary...ha....

I remember Walden being required reading in one of my college courses. Interesting but totally unworkable concept in real life. In the 60's and 70's it was tried and tried again in Calif, communes in Big Sur and even further north, none worked for long. Living off the grid is a lot of hard work and pursuing your muse doesn't get it done.

the Big Lie was a conceptual movement of the 1960's and 1970's that led to the formation of many communes and alternative communities...it was based in large part on Thoreau's book Walden and his observations on how materialism and status was killing the local citizens (especially farmers) spirits and mental freedom. My guess is the Big Lie will be rejuvenated as the economic mess worsens...thanks for the comments and compliment! (BTW, I did do a video on the Big Lie...search my channel)

what is the big lie you are referring to? btw, I have enjoyed your videos, even the short little ones are very interesting, thanks!

[jackddeal]

absolutely...and it is amazing how many Californians are talking about living off the grid these days...reminds me of the Big Lie concept of the '60s and '70's based on Thoreau's Walden...Walden wasn't from California but his book became the Bible for the Big Lie proponents...thanks for the comments and compliment!

I have gleened may new ideas from innovative Californians on how to live off the grid and avoid being a debt slave.

Keep up the Great Videos....J

actually I'm optimistic...this mess will eventually be a 'correction'...and you are right on surviving and sustaining...that's where the mass exodus is going...here in California, the changes are apparently permanent, for instance, many consumers/customers are changing their behaviors and never coming back...just like in Japan...that spells gloom for an economy based 70% on consumption; if they don't come back, it's fundamentally changed forever...thanks for your comments!

[Rizky06]

Hey..I thought my message was dire enough..Until I read yours..groan

Like I said I've been looking at Survivability & Sustainability type videos lately. I recommend the 12 Part Argentina series....Peace J
