What If, It Is Even More Important To Get Out?
This is a subject i keep coming back to, because i believe it is so very important. But, what if i am mistaken, and it is MORE important?
Of course cities are becoming worse and worse, especially blue cities.
Of course people are finding out their local politicians are even more corrupt than they thought.
And, of course, everyone expects some riots, especially in blue cities.
But the city can only be burned down once, and then things will go back to normal, right?
Wrong, things are never going back to normal.
And that is the thing.
The sooner you let go of the boat anchor, the better. You will drown if you don't.
Although that is true, even more important is.
The sooner you find your "family" / tribe, the better.
An overview of what is befalling us
The cities are falling apart… their infrastructure is brittle, the cohesiveness of the city's people is almost non-existent, the opportunities are drying up, stores are closing, restaurants are gone…
Another piece is that the financial system is coming undone. Because of too much debt, few are able to afford luxuries. Meaning, starting low imagination businesses are doomed. You can't afford to start a standard restaurant. You can't make it as a standard boutique. Dollar stores, soon to become Five Dollar stores will not survive long enough to make your money back. Basically, no one is coming to rebuild the cities.
The gangs will be taking over the cities. No go zones will be the east side, the upper east side, the south side, and all the other sides. This will make it even harder for businesses to operate.
With unCivil War coming, delivery system disruption, disease and famine, there will be nothing left in the cities.
Everything that seemed important is not anymore
Your expensive house in a nice neighborhood will soon be worthless. You will look back and think, why didn't i sell it in 2024? Later you will be thinking, why did i try so hard to keep up the mortgage payments?
Your job that you had for 20 years, and the reason you stated for not leaving the city, goes poof as the replace you with AI.
The night life is gone. The fine dining is gone. The safety is gone.
The good schools, the reason why you paid so much for the house you moved to, is found to be not so good. You would have been better off homeschooling a long time ago.
To stay close to your friends and family… this one may turn out to have been important, but only if they will help you starting a new community / homestead.
Basically, everything about keeping up with the Joneses, will seem like a silly waste of time.
The sooner you start growing food the better
Imagine that bacon is $20 per pound. Sure, ok, i can cut back on bacon.
Now imagine that bacon is even more, and you have to win a lottery to be able to buy it.
But it is not just bacon, although it becomes quite rare, meat become VERY expensive. You will be eating ze bugz unless you are crypto rich.
Their will be wheat shortages. (and all kinds of other food shortages) Meaning bread may be sold out early, if you store even gets its delivery.
Along with the shortages, if that isn't bad enough, people will be getting informed of all the toxins and poisons that are in our foods. So, now do you choose the bugz, the poisoned food, or starvation?
I hope you chose to grow food in your own greenhouse.
The biggest movement in this next decade will be the Great Migration.
Where people will move to be with their "family" / tribe. You will need your "family" / tribe to survive this coming change. You will need them for protection. You will need them for mutual support. You will need them to cover all the various aspects and jobs that need to be done to be self-sufficient.
I strongly suggest you listen to your gut. Use these feelings to guide towards your tribe. Nothing else matters more right now. The money in the bank will be gone; the banksters already stole everything. Your plans for retirement or going on vacations will be cut off. The old world is already gone, we just haven't recognized it.
Our new life begins with our chosen "family". We will get the belonging we have been searching so much for when we come together in intentional communities. We will find so much more meaningful lives knowing that we provide our own food and are capable of living self-sufficiently with our tribe.
So many people i talk to have an excuse of why they can't leave the city. Well, those excuses are going to be turned to dust. The tighter you try to hold onto the things that used to matter (that don't anymore) the more time you will waste. The future is bright. And your future is with your "family".
Those of us that live in the country want everyone to stay in the cities, we don't want their types here messing up our peace. So please stop advertising for people to leave the cities, lol. So please stay. LOL
You are not wrong.
In Everquest, the orcs had a saying, "We've destroyed our lands, now we will destroy yours!"
And Karens from blue cities bring their politics with them, and their controlling ways.
That said, i want to save as many people as i can, because those mother WEFers are going to kill off a lot of the population. Yes, we will never see them in power ever again, but there is going to be a lot of people who will be gone.
But, but, i see a future where we get with our tribe and basically start our own small towns. We won't need roads, we will have a box that creates electricity, so these small towns can be dotted all over.
Yeah, town is already creeping way to close for my comfort, lol.
I'm kinda screwed. No money, no home, nowhere to go. Guess I sit it out.
For some reason I kept getting Ads trying to convince me to become a cop in San Francisco. They are desperate to find people willing to wrestle with tweakers for some fake paper money. No thanks!
Prices are out of control but also imploding in various cities as well. Rents have dropped a lot in Austin and I just expect things to really come off the rails with the various debt crisis situations.
We saw with the 43 Day Gubment shutdown that things started locking up and seizing up because so much of this country is on some sort of support.
This country is so broke as a joke we barely recognize it anymore. I personally knew Texas got it's back blown out in 2022 when I felt like a minority in Frisco and Plano. Unrecognizable and more is coming to light about H1B scams in Texas and then we have all these Daycare scams everywhere but yet I've somehow been pulled over 4 times in the last two months.
Everything is backwards and it won't end well because Gen Z and Gen Alpha were largely aborted and the ones that are left aren't taking the bait.
Most have given up for the most part. They just game 🎮 and eat fake food and get enough to get to the next day.
When you got nothing to make it worth your time, is there any bait?
I know kids (look at me, saying kids) who have a decent job for just being out of school, and they are living at home because they can't afford anything. No crib, no girls, no future…
What really scares the hell out of me is the Gen Alpha X Boomers.
The boomers think they will be taken care of. Gen Alpha has checked out. There is no one to buy the boomers out. No one for boomers to appeal to for care facility workers.
And, all we talk about is ICE being mean.
So many things certainly seem messed up from our perception of what we felt past generations were able to achieve and any kind of "hack" of the systems typically gets you booted off whatever platform or whatever it was.
My thing is with a lot of the boomers is not the fact that they had a bit of a runway but the fact that they are so naive and unsympathetic towards the younger generations and not realizing just the baseline experiences and incentives aren't there.
I'm wanting to do some more dating observation posts but hardly anyone reads them but things have gotten far worse in the last couple years. The results are all over the board to some capacity but seems like white women have really been brain washed by these systems so they are saying the most ridiculous most asinine stuff and think they are in charge.
The test are insane and anything they complain about I double down on it.
I would say two of the biggest things the Boomers are naive on is not understanding how devalued the money and people's work is so devalued so even knowing something that is 10X as complex now might not pay you what some non technical non engineer was making in the 90s and then common stuff like fuel and food is WAY more expensive to eat something that is actually real. Then the quality of women has went way down because of all the obesity so an over weight woman who would have been completely invisible 50 years ago will get thousands of matches on a dating app in 1 day. Everything is backwards and hardly anyone is seeing basic success. The game theory has broken down.
I agree with you and I think it is important as well. I have been researching remote working and relocating to a smaller community for reasons such as the ones that you list as well as just generally speaking being tired of being around so many people.
