i actually started a kickstarter, gained $200K, then forced my town of 236 people to put in sidewalks along dirt roads and rural routes! now that my kids can walk, they LOVE the 12 mile walk to and from school each day! and on a warm sunny weekend afternoon, the 9 mile walk to the grocery store has never been easier!

lolol 😂 exactly! hes some rich IT nerd from long island who has probably never set foot on a farm, but hes watching The Last of Us and has become inspired to start prepping.

after a year or two, he’ll find out that you have to work your hand to the bone (not to mention have skills that in some cases take a lifetime to learn) in order to keep a multi-acre garden, raise livestock, hunting/gathering/foraging, winterizing/maintenance to your home, etc etc. and that nice cabin he built will go up for sale, and he’ll end up buying a condo with a view in a place like Stowe to ACTUALLY retire in

yup. and its FAR bigger than the PDs in your home town 😂 start with abolishing privatized prison systems- when locking people up becomes a profitable business, every other aspect of the justice system becomes compromised (many dumb fuck police activists dont even know private prisons exist) its a far bigger issue, but like you said; no one wants to think about the root cause, its far easier to just go on reddit and shit on an entire town for being “racist” LOL

yet everyone wonders why nothing ever changes 🤷🏻‍♂️
