Somebody somewhere is lying about a housing shortage. Since the 1950s there has been a big decline in the US birth rate. Now think about the 1960s and 1970s, there was no housing crisis then, so with even less people (or should I say less Americans) there should be enough housing to suffice. But through design they have got rid of thousands of houses, demolished, creating a shortage. Food is the same as houses if people can't or wont pay the going price they will have to drop the price ir go under. But in housing if there are conglomerates, ie Blackrock etc., that own the houses they would soon see them demolished than lose money on them as the land can be just as valuable as the housing.


It depends on the area. In Portland OR rent is high because the city isn't allowing large rental buildings so it is a supply/demand thing. We also have a lot of people moving up from CA with a lot of equity. There is not enough housing for families in the 80 to 100k income range.

I've had to start growing my own food, stock up on canned and dry goods, I'm getting a rain catcher, and anything else that'll help my family in the long run. I'll gladly take any suggestions to save some money or better prep

Houses today are 2x the size as houses 50+ years ago, so start there. If I was to do it again I would buy/build a quadplex and live in one and rent the other 3

To all Californians...

Why is shoplifting so rampant? Because California state law holds that stealing merchandise worth $950 or less is just a misdemeanor, which means that law enforcement probably won’t bother to investigate, and if they do, prosecutors will let it go.

If Gov Newsom makes things too expensive for you, the above option is available for your family.

Only in California, coming to your state soon.

Newsome will be running for President, anyone
who still defends voting for the party he belongs to
deserves all of the hell he will bring.

The housing crisis in my area is beyond repair. I’m 5 months in looking for a home now. After multiple extensions from my landlord, I have to be out in 9 days with nowhere to go.

On a side note, isn’t it interesting that alcohol didn’t inflate whatsoever. They want us dumbed down and drinking our lives away on our couch.


What you said about alcohol is very true not only in America but also on this country it's actually cheaper to buy whiskey here in this country and it is in America can you believe that it's so much cheaper the prices of like wow I can't believe it.

By saying it won't be comparable, I'm saying it's going to be worse. Much worse. Worse than the Great Depression.

You can bet that it will be. Good subject to be studying while you've got the time for it.

Are people THAT butt hurt over Trump’s mean tweets that they’ll pay out of control costs brought on by the Biden Administration?

Do people not remember the Trump economy?

FFS. Vote these people OUT.

Foraging is a lost art. I think people today think foraging is below them and they would sooner starve to death than forage. I also think people think foraging is looking for just their own taste ie. look for ,say, rabbits but not think about eating stinging nettles or certain tree leaves.

If you ask me, this would be the perfect stage for something to be done in the people's favor.

A good idea, would be to NOT ask, hope, get additional jobs, cut back, or anything like that.

To the contrary - do nothing. Don't pay your exuberant mortgage and/or rent. Property taxes can go suck a tailpipe. Don't go to work. Don't drive anywhere. Do. Nothing. And I mean EVERYBODY - not just a few handfuls of people here and there, not a few hundred thousand, even. EVERYBODY.

If this is kept up for an entire solid week? The entire economy (and not just here) will come to a screeching halt and shut down. I bet my last $50 at that point, that Politicians and the businesses that fund them will listen to We The People.

Continuing to skirt by and do everything we can to manage does absolutely nothing but give those in control the idea that they can keep doing whatever the Hell they want with zero recourse.

Everybody that says "Oh, I can't afford that, I have to go to work and I can't afford this, that, or the other thing...." - Yeah, and? You can't afford what you're doing now. You seem to forget that.

I suppose it's all a fever dream though..... People could barely stand up at the grocery stores or their jobs during COVID, let alone accomplish something like this lol


I wish I had the courage to do this and advocate this, but I don't. I will continue to work the job I have and keep my fingers crossed.

it sickens me how the news media swoon over Bidenomics and tell us things are getting better when they're not. I hope people will start seeing the disconnect between what the media and politicians are saying, and our reality.
wake up sheeple.
oops, time to go to work

I was able to visit Jamestown in Virginia. (Bad vibe there btw)
So many people died there because they starved and there was food all around.
So it’s not a new thing for sure.

Where I live you can’t throw a rock and not hit some source of food.
We have so many plants, mushrooms, animals, even insects.

The answer is yes. Just last night I was out for bday with some friends and one of the elder 80 year old who says he doesn't trust nobody and doesnt like biden would vote for biden because trump is a tyrant.

I asked him can you give me an example of why trump was a tyrant, and he paused and couldn't give 1 example.
He just smiled like I was crazy for not believing he wasnt a tyrant.

Then I said , it was Biden that forced people to get an experimental drug or lose their jobs. It was biden who was working with the 3 letter agency and using the gov to silence people online and to manipulate social media for their narratives.

In the end he said he doesn't care and will not vote for trump under any circumstances. I asked him where he gets his news and he wouldnt say but kep saying he doesnt trust the news.

LOL yet he is a completely under the control of the fake news and spewing exactly what they tell him and he isn't even able to defend it.

TDS is real


We are pretty fortunate but I do feel for the families struggling right now as I had been there myself in the past.

Its amazing to me how Bidens intern posts on twitter on a daily basis how well the economy is doing and how much he has accomplished and how many of the comments are calling him a liar, unlike pre elon twitter.

People are definitely sick of the BS but then have a TDS stroke and go vote for the same BS Republican or Democrat darling.

Can’t stand Trump or Biden. I can give PLENTY of examples of both being Tyrants.

Trump just a few that come to mind -
Appointed his family for positions they should NOT have had
“Joked” about a third term for himself
Tried to ban Tik Tok
Used his hotels for financial gain during his presidency

There’s a lot more of tyrannical things he has done.
Most leaders will be called Tyrants by one side or the other, so it’s not something unusual.

So you just gave a perfect example of suffering from TDS.

none of those things makes him a tyrant nor does it make it any different than every other elected official before him including biden. How are they all getting paid 200K-450K and come out worth 100's of millions after office. Hint they all use their presidency for financial gains.

On the other hand you had Biden force you to take an experimental jab or lose your livelyhood and also used the govt to silence peoples voice. Do you think Bidens crack head son would have gotten a job making 10's of millions as a board of director on a chinese corporation that he has no experience on without Joey biden, get out here. Same goes for the clintons and bush.


Trump was a dumbass but things ran much better under him than under biden WORLD WIDE , you have to be suffering from TDS to not see that.

Tyrant mean oppressive use of power.

I gave you an examples. To put your family in power - oppressive
He wanted a third term and fought for a second that he obviously lost. Ie. “Rules don’t apply to me”
There are too many examples of him being cruel too (tyrant behavior) it’s all on camera for anyone to see, just look it up and take the blinders off.

I could go on all day, but we are going to have to agree to disagree, and I don’t want this post to be about
Who is worse, because you are right, they all suck, we can agree on that.

He did nothing to push for a third term and you even said “Joked”




“Rules don’t apply to me”

he is the ONLY POTUS getting prosecuted by BIDEN administration when Biden and the democrats did the exact same things. Rules apply to him they don't apply to the Mainstream candidates that follow the narrative like Clinton,Biden, Obama,Bush etc.




There are too many examples

The only examples you are giving is of your TDS and how the OTHER POTUS have gotten special treatment and the system along with yourself overlooks their discretions and hold trump to a different standard .





they all suck, we can agree on that.

If they are being pushed by an entity riddled with conflict of interest such as the DNC,RNC,3 letter agencies, and the MSM, then yes I agree.
