The "A" answer is to avoid urban areas like the plague, if at all possible. I haven't been to Seattle for several years, and I live less than an hour away. Any area pushing WEF policies isn't a place to support.
I live in Boston and find myself leaving the city more often than not to shop, travel, enjoy culture, etc. Thankfully I'm on the outskirts of town and own my own house with a driveway. But they are tearing down single, two and three families homes with yards and parking at an alarming rate, to build 12- 30 unit apartment buildings with - you guessed it - no parking!!
Rosa Koire (author of The Green Mask) talked about CA land grab through bogus regulations, essentially taking rural land. There was a case of some guy way off grid outside of San Diego ? LA? and they drove him off. They aren't going to let us stay on our land so there really is no place to escape to. The question is, if you don't intend to comply, where is your last stand going to be?
I have friends that live nip in the mountains near Truckee, and they can’t even find a solar company to set them up with solar for their house off the grid. Maybe the state is not allowing companies to serve people off the grid. I dunno. They have to use a generator to power everything.
You use a generator at your house - for everything? What is the fuel? You might be able to get some panels and use batteries. Lithionics makes amazing batteries.https://lithionicsbattery.com/
I know the state was doing something to discourage ham radio a few years back. I think they were removing towers.
I left years ago, and could move back tomorrow Not! But grieve that’s not possible. Can’t handle the homeless, wacko leadership and changes to such a favorite city
I'm an hour-and-a-half north of that blighted city, in Port Townsend, Woke Ground Zero. A tourist town at the end of the line. One ferry (weather&tide dependent) and one road in/out. City and county share an ICLEI (WEF) membership. Parking is a bloody nightmare here. Our beyond woke mayor is 'offended by people's personal property taking up space on our city streets.'
They're some of the few people I'd recommend get on a scooter. Here we call them concussion-makers. Had a 16-year-old boy laying in coma in our intensive care for over a month thanks to those scooters that are all around the city. His brain will never be the same, nor will his future and the life of his family.
I am so sick of these people and I use the term loosely when I say people. They need to run their own lives and leave everyone else alone. Get a freaking life you dumb shits.
I've often mentioned this, as it was one of the top 5 things that made me decide to leave the UK nearly 20 years ago...
I once applied for a job with the local government, what's called a 'county council' there. The job was to be in charge of all the council car parks throughout the country. It came with a fat salary and perks, so I was excited to get the interview - but it's the only interview in my life that I told them I didn't want the job.
Why? Because even then, 20 years ago, the 3 people interviewing me stated that part of my role, and their longer-term aims, were to make private car ownership difficult, and to force people onto public transport.
I politely told them to shove the job up their ass and walked out.
Most days, providing the weather is good, and depending on how long I will be out, I take my dog w/me. One of the greatest joys in life is watching a dog take a joy ride. I cannot fathom myself as an older person, on a scooter w/my dog, trying to get a week's worth of groceries home. The WEF gets on my last nerve.
I just finished watching several segments of Tucker doing bug related clips. What I find the most disturbing is that people seem content to accept that because the WEF says we will be eating bugs, that is what we will be doing. Apparently there are quite a few entrepreneurs that are jumping in the game early of selling bug menu items.
I think it's a grift, just like EV's, Renewable energy and autonomous driving.
Many start-ups and companies get government subsidies to invest in government approved programs. Most eat up the monies and have nothing to show for in the end. When the people wise up to the grift (autonomuos driving - where has it dissapeared? It was all the buzz in 2017-18. Soon EV's will be there as well, sure there will be a niche for EV's to be use din certain applications but not as a replacement for ICE. Ditto for "renewable energy from wind and solar) the grifters have to come up with new ways of grifting - enter bug foods, plant based stuff, monthly jabs, etc <- they already know it will fail, but until then they get a lot of money from government and gullible investors ...and the people will be left paying up the bill.
BTW... eating bugs will give you parasites and can give you cancer. They exoskeleton has something called chitins in them that our bodies can't process.
This info may be somewhere like yandex; my guess is it's been scrubbed elsewhere.
I note the emergence of significant processing and manufacturing facilities representing very substantial investment. One wonders whether in the reckoning at the end they will mysteriously burn down like so many grain/food producing facilities and stores recently have?
In the meantime, a majority of blotting paper dimwits (?50% populace) absorb their daily dose of conditioning, in the absence of a scything Fourth Estate now instead become Fifth Column against the people. Were they still 'scything' the WEF / IPCC / UNEP /WHO nonsense would be dismantled in a matter of a few short weeks.
In my opine, we are definitely under attack in some sort of guerrilla war w/all the manufacturing plants, toxic train incidents, and the murdering of animals. There is nothing I would love more than to see the axis of evil dismantled in a few short weeks, it would be glorious, and if we are to survive it is pretty much what needs to happen.
Gonzalo did an interesting video somewhat related to the daily dose of conditioning. He is correct their programming is only going to escalate. Not much hope for the paper blotters.
It's called 5th Generation Unrestricted Warfare. Aka "they're calling from inside the house."
Our government and those outside our government--are using lots of different means to hurt us-- transportation "accidents", incidents at food processing plants, prosecuting normal people and releasing violent felons, C0VID and of course, the poison death jab.
Thanks for the link and introduction to Gonzalo. He reminds me of a good friend. Had we a population of such individuals, tyranny would quake and fail, always.
The challenges of an AI constructed UNreality needs to be addressed while keeping in mind, lies have short legs.
You are welcome. I like Gonzalo. I mostly stick to the shorter videos, he is a colorful person for sure! Yes, the AI stuff is scary. People need to work on developing their intuitive skills to help decipher what is real and what isn't.
Tucker had a chef on from New York City on this week. The chef is making everything with chitlan powder, and even chocolate covered crickets. Tucker sat down next to him, and ate the chocolate covered cricket. Then Tucker said how wonderful it was. Tucker then had some of the burger the guy made, that had chitlan powder in it. (Chitlin powder is farmed crickets ground up into powder to add to our food. Supposedly the burger was meatless and had about a heaping teaspoon of ground chitlin, and then other questionable ingredients, like soy, etc.) But right before Tucker did all that, he said out loud that they were putting bugs in our food to humiliate us.
I have kept track of the articles on costs of EV batteries, accidental fires of EV bikes stored inside living rooms, etc, and the FD water it takes to extinguish a EV fire along the highway. And I hear EV car production $$$ is way down these days…. Told yah ! Amazing lack of research and thoughtfulness invested by those demented who have to follow the crowd
Trick cars were the subject of a Royal Institute of Engineers (UK) or similar body detailed debate and analysis that concluded they were a dead end technology for all the obvious many reasons. And still the Watermelons mindlessly push them.
We keep in mind that the overarching goal of absolute control is no private cars in the nightmare World of the WEF/UNEP.
Meanwhile, it seems Toyota came to their senses, ditching Trick cars and producing a H2 driven ICE, although personally I need to get beyond the R101 and Hidenburg.
Ditto. I went camping last year and stayed close to the road and got a huge kick watching cars go by with a dawg riding with its head out the window and being so joyful that they were included. Lots of lucky dawgs in the world.
Indeed, makes me laugh as well, but….I freak out when a car passes me with the dog half out the window, paws balancing on the door~~and no one to grab the dog when turning a quick corner. The smaller ones standing on the driver’s lap! EeeeeeeeK! If they would only roll up the window a few inches so that…..well hate to think of it A sad story …
I took care of a friends big German Shepherd - once. He was a nightmare in the car as she obviously let him do whatever he wanted. If the window was up, he pulled at it with his claws. He could have taken it out within minutes.
It makes them so happy! Sometimes in the heat of summer w/100% humidity when it is too hot to play ball outside I will take him for a ride w/the A/C blasting, we don't go anywhere, just take a short drive. I know, the horror of not being climate change friendly for a dog that might get cabin fever. I do get the look of "is that it?" when we pull back in the driveway.
He was hilarious a few years back when we had a somewhat large snow storm. I can't shovel snow so to clear the drive way to get in and out I just drove forward and back until the snow flattened out. He thought I had lost my mind. The look on his face was priceless. Why are we not going anywhere but the driveway? LOL!
Well, someone very much like her, albeit a male (XX male), voluntered for WW I at that age. The Austrian corporal and Greta share the same personality structure, IMO.
Well, so true, we’re seeing lives lost, either above the ground or below it, for following the wrong leaders It’s truly amazing…. I read a lot of Holocaust stories, fiction and otherwise and still……
i also lived in a 15 min city. SF for 10 years in the 2000s. Scooting or biking around the shit and potholes was a lot of fun, but 20 years ago it wasn't as bad as it is today. Now you have to scooter around the shit, potholes and homeless drug addicts! And public transportation was as joyful then as could be. I was late to work almost every day not because I didn't wait at my bus stop every day an hour early, but because it was ALWAYS late because the workers union often liked to strike and when it was running, it was full of homeless who liked to treat it as their personal bathroom so it was full to capacity all the time (often my boyfriend now husband would get his car out to drive me downtown so I wouldn't be late to the job that paid our bills). Oh, and when enterprising young dotcom people tried to run a private bus to downtown along my route, the gov shut it down, because they couldn't have competition...and it caused many of those hardworking, taxpaying workers to finally throw their hands up and move out to other pastures. so yea, great idea WEF. Fuckers.
I am a well-educated, well-dressed adult woman. A lady. I will never ride a scooter. Or climb into an Uber or some-such ride-sharing vehicle with a pathetic, potentially dangerous stranger. I intend to drive a gas-burning 4-door sedan for the rest of my life -- or until the Dem/Communists forcibly prevent me.
LMAO. I work as a remodeler in the sh*thole known as Portland, OR, home of Nike and Antifa. Fortunately I don't live there, but the traffic sucks. So far parking on residential jobs has been fine, but I worked a few days on a new Sunglass Hut in the middle of downtown. It was horrible!
The closer you get to the city, the more expensive and distant the parking becomes. The centre city. May as well double the quotes because of the lost time and other difficulties that exist just working there.
It's not really worth it anymore.
The long term consequence, no one will want to work and maintain them and they'll turn to slums.
I'm not kidding, but I was considering doing this exact thing myself. But thinking about it now, it would probably end just the same way. But having to drive further.
Thanks guys, y’all are really nice. I wasn’t pulling for those sweet words, I was really ragging on the hypocritical WEF. But thanks anyway. Still it proves a point. And yes to the ice. What im really concerned about is having to do it at Baylor Scott and White. They are known for their rants against Dr McCullough. But my surgeon is a Christian and I like him a lot. Prefer to trust him than someone I don’t know. I know him personally.
Ice for a drink, maybe. Not your knee. Recent research has blown up the idea of applying ice to injuries: it actually delays healing. Your body already knows how to heal itself and artificially chilling the tissue is not part of its strategy!
Sometimes I need ice for the pain. But alternating with warmth, i I can tolerate it, can help get things moving better too. It all depends on what my body requires that day. I do my best to listen to it.
In Michigan , If you have Medicaid and pregnant, your Uber ride is free to your visits and you get to have a doula in labor if you have molina Medicaid . Hard earned tax dollars at work .
I live in Spain. Approximately 80% of parking, car parks and on-street, is free. Most of the time it just works. The WEF is not interested in fixing real problems, just pushing a control agenda.
Madrid, 1975. Everyone double parked downtown and if you wanted to leave work early, you couldn't because you were parked in. They had a special crane, La Grua, that could pick a car up vertically then set it down to be towed. It was a roll of the dice every day, but there were far more cars than Gruas, so getting towed once or twice a year was the price you paid for downtown parking! Don't know if it's still like that. Franco was in charge back then. Also, the shoulders and grassy areas along the main highway into Madrid were filled with cars. I guess people parked there then took the bus or the train.
I lived in Aranjuez at the time. Sleepy little town. Used to take the train into Madrid. No point driving as there was nowhere to park unless you got there really early.
Cars are occasionally parked without the parking brake applied; they can be pushed out of the way if necessary. Not saying this is common but I’ve seen it happen a few times.
Spain isn’t unique, but it has a relatively low population density so parking outside of large cities is less of an issue. The nearest city to where we live has a population of a little over 20k people and the city is about 140 square km. We go into the city once or twice a week. Occasionally parking is a challenge but I have never failed to find a space. There is only one paid for car park in the city. I have only had one parking ticket, parked in a loading only bay.
The point is, contrary to the WEF/globalist ideology of stopping people from doing what they want to do (have the freedom to use a private vehicle), here the focus seems to be more geared towards enabling them. It’s not perfect but it’s far superior to the top-down coercive style of totalitarian centrists.
Nothing new here to anyone watching this space or reading the 2015 published "transformational 2030" agenda, or the slightly more recent UN Urban Agenda Habitat III. No cars was always the goal, stated by the likes of Al Gore and President of Mexico, back in the day.
However, municipal authorities throughout the West have been adhering to these goals for some time. Parking spaces have been significantly reduced, while costs have escalated. Once again, the goal is obvious, though sadly not to most.
We so deserve what we get. I fervently wish it wasn't so, but so long as most remain readily biddable, easily conditioned, willing to die or be made sick from useless, unpredictable clot shots, happy to uncritically ingest the daily measure of propaganda and indoctrination, it's going to be an unpleasant and bumpy ride to a truly awful destination. There exists some solace in the idea that the current expression of tyranny is destined to go the same way as all previous versions, arriving at a literal and figurative dead end. Just a shame we have to endure the misery to relearn the absolutely fundamental tenets for a life of abundance: liberty, prosperity and happiness.
I live several miles from the nearest store, which happens to be a family owned hardware and lumber store. Very hard to transport 2x4's on an electric scooter. Hard to share a scooter when you live rurally. For the most part, the parking spaces in SW Idaho are extra wide to allow for those oversized pickup trucks that a fair number of people drive. Very convenient to transport 2x4's in.
Wait a minute. You visited a college town for "mom's day weekend?" Is this a sneaky way of telling us you're transitioning. It's all the rage, you know.
"Mom's Day weekend"? I thought the Left couldn't even define "woman"? How could they possibly know what a "mother" is? Maybe it is "Formerly Pregnant Person's Day"? Lol!

You said it. San Diego is quickly on its way to becoming like LA and even SF. So sad to watch. I need to plan an exit strategy now
Wait, what? Noble Progressive Savior Todd Gloria said he was working for *all of us*

Rosa Koire (author of The Green Mask) talked about CA land grab through bogus regulations, essentially taking rural land. There was a case of some guy way off grid outside of San Diego ? LA? and they drove him off. They aren't going to let us stay on our land so there really is no place to escape to. The question is, if you don't intend to comply, where is your last stand going to be?
I have friends that live nip in the mountains near Truckee, and they can’t even find a solar company to set them up with solar for their house off the grid. Maybe the state is not allowing companies to serve people off the grid. I dunno. They have to use a generator to power everything.

I know what you mean Jelly Bean.
They are eliminating suburbs too. So there's that.
We're going to need a different defensive posture and we are sitting on the solution now so we will probably just continue to comply.
BTW, they are destroying our food and water supplies too
They're not eliminating the suburbs everywhere.
We live in central Ohio. There is plenty of suburban new home building here.
I'm an hour-and-a-half north of that blighted city, in Port Townsend, Woke Ground Zero. A tourist town at the end of the line. One ferry (weather&tide dependent) and one road in/out.

As soon as I see Schwab and Gates go to Davos on their nice little scooters, I’ll use one too. The old “rules for thee but not for me”....

You could have taken the job and failed miserably to meet your objectives.
I was far too hot headed back then
Good one!!
EXCELLENT!!!
Most days, providing the weather is good, and depending on how long I will be out, I take my dog w/me. One of the greatest joys in life is watching a dog take a joy ride. I cannot fathom myself as an older person, on a scooter w/my dog, trying to get a week's worth of groceries home. The WEF gets on my last nerve.
No problem. A weeks worth of 'Reset' groceries will be a jar of powdered bug protein, a toilet roll, a bar of soap and an apple.

I found it extremely disturbing to watch Tucker eating the bugs this week 🧐
I don't watch TV but disturbing to think he ate them. 18,000 cows burn alive and Tucker eats bugs. Doesn't bode well for the future.
Tucker had a chef on from New York City on this week. The chef is making everything with chitlan powder, and even chocolate covered crickets. Tucker sat down next to him, and ate the chocolate covered cricket. Then Tucker said how wonderful it was. Tucker then had some of the burger the guy made, that had chitlan powder in it.

I don't understand. He said it was to humiliate us, and then ate it? This is all SO depressing. Maybe THAT'S the point.
I found the chef to be rather creepy, something about him was off. I couldn't decide what it was other than I didn't like him.

I am a well-educated, well-dressed adult woman. A lady. I will never ride a scooter. Or climb into an Uber or some-such ride-sharing vehicle with a pathetic, potentially dangerous stranger. I intend to drive a gas-burning 4-door sedan for the rest of my life -- or until the Dem/Communists forcibly prevent me.
Try working in the construction and renovation industry and getting to your worksite with all your tools and materials.
Sometimes you end up parking a number of blocks away from the site and you spend an hour or so just lugging the tools and materials there.
Ironically, as the health and safety manager, and with musculoskeletal skeletal injuries being a major bane within the construction sector in general.
And traffic incidents/being stuck by vehicles a notable hazard too.
The simple solution to both is to be able to park vehicles right outside the site.
Less time working under strain.
Less roads to cross or vehicles to potentially hit you.
But the polar bears Igor.
It's all for the polar bears.
I can't wait to see my guys try and do this on electric scooters.
LMAO. I work as a remodeler in the sh*thole known as Portland, OR, home of Nike and Antifa. Fortunately I don't live there, but the traffic sucks. So far parking on residential jobs has been fine, but I worked a few days on a new Sunglass Hut in the middle of downtown. It was horrible!
This is quite similar to my own city.
Suburbs are still all good.
The closer you get to the city, the more expensive and distant the parking becomes. The centre city. May as well double the quotes because of the lost time and other difficulties that exist just working there.
It's not really worth it anymore.
The long term consequence, no one will want to work and maintain them and they'll turn to slums.
Ironically, I moved to a more rural area to get away from that crap and took a new job, but they still have some jobs in Portland.
I'm not kidding, but I was considering doing this exact thing myself. But thinking about it now, it would probably end just the same way. But having to drive further.
"You will go nowhere, you will do no work, and you will be happy..."
Or maybe the polar bears will be happy.

Prefer to trust him than someone I don’t know. I know him personally.
Ice for a drink, maybe. Not your knee. Recent research has blown up the idea of applying ice to injuries: it actually delays healing. Your body already knows how to heal itself and artificially chilling the tissue is not part of its strategy!
Sometimes I need ice for the pain. But alternating with warmth, i I can tolerate it, can help get things moving better too. It all depends on what my body requires that day. I do my best to listen to it.
Good. Just be aware that more than 10 minutes of ice application will trigger a rebound reaction and do more harm than good.
Here's a link about cold treatments that athletes use https://people.com/health/mark-wahlberg-cryochamber-weight-loss/#:~:text=Mark%20Wahlberg's%20fitness%20regimen,at%20150%20degrees%20below%20zero.
What about the treatments people like Wahlberg use after working out to get their bodies to abnormally cold temperatures.
In Michigan , If you have Medicaid and pregnant, your Uber ride is free to your visits and you get to have a doula in labor if you have molina Medicaid . Hard earned tax dollars at work .
Goooooooood grief !
🙄
Of course not! They WANT you to starve to death!
Answer; i didnt vote for the wef to be our leaders. No way.
Not your leaders, your gods, by their attitudes.
This would be farcical if these sociopaths weren't deadly and dangerous to mankind.
I live in Spain. Approximately 80% of parking, car parks and on-street, is free. Most of the time it just works. The WEF is not interested in fixing real problems, just pushing a control agenda.
Madrid, 1975. Everyone double parked downtown and if you wanted to leave work early, you couldn't because you were parked in. They had a special crane, La Grua, that could pick a car up vertically then set it down to be towed. It was a roll of the dice every day, but there were far more cars than Gruas, so getting towed once or twice a year was the price you paid for downtown parking! Don't know if it's still like that. Franco was in charge back then. Also, the shoulders and grassy areas along the main highway into Madrid were filled with cars. I guess people parked there then took the bus or the train.
I lived in Aranjuez at the time. Sleepy little town. Used to take the train into Madrid. No point driving as there was nowhere to park unless you got there really early.
Cars are occasionally parked without the parking brake applied; they can be pushed out of the way if necessary. Not saying this is common but I’ve seen it happen a few times.
Spain isn’t unique, but it has a relatively low population density so parking outside of large cities is less of an issue. The nearest city to where we live has a population of a little over 20k people and the city is about 140 square km. We go into the city once or twice a week. Occasionally parking is a challenge but I have never failed to find a space. There is only one paid for car park in the city. I have only had one parking ticket, parked in a loading only bay.
The point is, contrary to the WEF/globalist ideology of stopping people from doing what they want to do (have the freedom to use a private vehicle), here the focus seems to be more geared towards enabling them. It’s not perfect but it’s far superior to the top-down coercive style of totalitarian centrists.
You obviously haven't been to Eibar.
Nothing new here to anyone watching this space or reading the 2015 published "transformational 2030" agenda, or the slightly more recent UN Urban Agenda Habitat III. No cars was always the goal, stated by the likes of Al Gore and President of Mexico, back in the day.
However, municipal authorities throughout the West have been adhering to these goals for some time. Parking spaces have been significantly reduced, while costs have escalated. Once again, the goal is obvious, though sadly not to most.
We so deserve what we get. I fervently wish it wasn't so, but so long as most remain readily biddable, easily conditioned, willing to die or be made sick from useless, unpredictable clot shots, happy to uncritically ingest the daily measure of propaganda and indoctrination, it's going to be an unpleasant and bumpy ride to a truly awful destination. There exists some solace in the idea that the current expression of tyranny is destined to go the same way as all previous versions, arriving at a literal and figurative dead end. Just a shame we have to endure the misery to relearn the absolutely fundamental tenets for a life of abundance: liberty, prosperity and happiness.
Thank you for the encouragement. I'll lay it into a substack post.
I live several miles from the nearest store, which happens to be a family owned hardware and lumber store. Very hard to transport 2x4's on an electric scooter. Hard to share a scooter when you live rurally. For the most part, the parking spaces in SW Idaho are extra wide to allow for those oversized pickup trucks that a fair number of people drive. Very convenient to transport 2x4's in.
Wait a minute. You visited a college town for "mom's day weekend?" Is this a sneaky way of telling us you're transitioning. It's all the rage, you know.
I am not transitioning
LOL
"Mom's Day weekend"? I thought the Left couldn't even define "woman"? How could they possibly know what a "mother" is? Maybe it is "Formerly Pregnant Person's Day"? Lol!
How do we know Igor is a man? Did we all just assume his gender based on his name? 🤔 Maybe it's a pseudonym for Igorina 😁
As soon as I see Schwab and Gates go to Davos on their nice little scooters, I’ll use one too. The old “rules for thee but not for me”....
I have just the solution

Amusing, thanks!
