Oh then it's okay he didn't even try anything until he realized he was so unpopular people are asking him to step down.

Comprehensive privacy law time? Nahh just ban the Chinese EVs and pretend this doesn't happen. Same thing as tiktok. You'll never be protected as long as they can point to the Chinese boogyman.

Im sure the democrats will stand up against this like they did when Trump did it. Lol what a joke.

I find it funny that you discount learning to grow crops as something that doesn't help and can only be done on a $300k piece of land but also acknowledge the land alone isn't what gives it value. Yes that's why it's important to know how to grow food. Which is apparently only useful to know if the world ends in the next five years according to you.

It seems like you're deliberately interpreting eveything I say in a way you can argue against it instead of the way I wrote it. Never told people to move, never told them to buy a farm, never told them to buy land but you argue against all those things as if my points hinges on them. What I said was learn to grow crops, not simply a vegetable garden that relies on annual trips to buy more miracle grown. That doesn't mean you need a farm.

Also interestingly enough if we check the CPI food items are rising faster than most other costs. Also sustainable and urban agribusiness demand is growing. Posturing yourself to understand and take advantage of that is the opposite of a financial mistake.

No on said to buy a farm. Use what's available to you and ammend the soil, there are plenty of organic addatives that are free, low cost, or byproducts. Also make you own compost to continually add neutrients, aka grow food like a farmer not a gardener.

The point is to know how to do it cyclically, with little if any input other than what you create. Its an investment in divesting from society, and a lesson in sufficience that you may need once the fact that China and Bill Gates own the most farmland in America becomes a more pressing issue.

The guns are there because for any situation where food become that valuable, productive land anywhere becomes a target. Weather its pests, deers, boars, or humans.

If you have enough money to hire people to do farmwork this comment is not for you. It's about you.

When voting isnt enough learn how to grow crops like a farmer not a gardener and then practice shooting. If we're lucky those will stay hobbies.

Im glad working on a viable plan and panicking are mutally exclusive for you, but they're not for me. This is why my therapist started suggesting I simply stop paying attention to everything outside of my immediate daily view. My brain also failed to make itself happy through that kind of ignorance. Not to mention I couldn't simply make that information unexists from my day to day social interactions. I was encountering at work what my therapist told me to avoid and since it was word of mouth it was less reliable than if I had just read it myself.

Actual doctors have tried, years have been spent and by the time I stopepd going id been going on about a year of weekly visits where I was no longer being taught anything new, simply checking in and making sure I was doing all the things I already learned. Copays were eating away at my actionable steps to fix the other problems in my life and I was no longer learning anything new or noticing positive behavioral change.

Being content despite not having needs met feels like a skill thats more valuable to my boss than me. Nah im gonna get my needs met.

Therapy doesn't fix any of the most pressing issues I have. I'd wager about 85% or more of my stress is economic or environmental in nature. My big three worries are how am I gonna afford a house by myself, how am i going to be able to retire on little money and without kids, and is the envrioment going to lose the ability to sustain human life while I'm still alive and on nothing more than a fixed income.

I don't need to journal my thoughts and pretend the outside world doesn't exist, I need some damn material security in my life.

These people just want to make noise and get people riled up about porn on Lemmy, their problems are entirely unserious or they would have checked the box everyone sees when they make an account.
