Having a revolution sounds grand and amazing, but there's never an action plan or what to do about those caught in the crossfire. What's needed is a large-scale mobilization of people; to force the majority to actually care and WANT to act about the issue first, protest in some way. The main issue is that these problems disguise themselves now, compared to, say, 1800s to 1900s. The evils hide themselves very well and use fluffy words to make it seem enticing to the same people who are harmed by it. Everyone is so exhausted by the day to day grind that they forget they can organize protests and action besides 'revolution' which can be a rather vague term that is hard to put into motion.

For those interested, the national debt is not designed to be paid off...it's absolutely impossible. For example, the govt borrows $1 from the federal reserve bank (a privately owned bank). It owes that dollar back to the federal reserve with interest attached. Now where does the govt get the money to pay the interest on that $1? The answer is it borrows that from the federal reserve bank too...and on, and on it goes...a snake eating its own tail. Oh BTW...every dollar the govt borrows from the federal reserve bank makes the federal reserve even more powerful. So on and on it will go, the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer until one day the federal reserve bank will own it all. Our own govt sold us out in 1913.

As someone who has lived preparing for this since childhood, you don't have time. It takes years to learn how to live off grid properly. Do you know what foods are safe to eat, like berries? Do you know how to test if something is poisonous? Do you know how to purify water without fire? This is a crucial skill. Can you build a fire correctly, wet or dry? Do you hunt/fish, not weekend pier fishing? Do you know how long it takes to grow food? You will starve before the first crop, if you can get it grow? Just sticking seeds in the ground is guaranteed failure. Do you know how to prep soil and create compost? You are not acclimated to weather, animals, injury, disease, and the knowledge to plan effectively. Without practical experience, death is your likely outcome. Your best option is to find a group where you have skills to contribute. What is the most crucial asset needed first? Most people get this wrong. TV is not a substitute for experience. It isn't food or water. What we have touched on doesn't scratch the surface of what you need to already know to stand a chance at long term survival. In grid down, roughly 80% will not make it due to factors already listed. They are unprepared. Most of you will walk into the camps because you are not prepared for what is coming. Test yourself. Cut yourself off from all modern life for a weekend. No electric, devices, a/c, running water. We will be surprised if you make it through the weekend.

Our government gave up their sovereign right to a private bank, the Federal Reserve. The IRS is the collection arm of the Fed. Both created in 1913. The Fed controls the entire monetary supply. Go back to the beginning using simple #s. Our government decides they need $1 so they ask the Fed. The Fed says yes but at say 1% interest. They print the $1 and the government issues a bond to repay the debt. So how do you repay $1.01 with only $1 of supply. Print more $. Rinse and repeat. The design was so that it could never be paid off. Failure by design. Then folks are out here thinking their house has increased in value though most have made no improvements. The price has gone "up" because the purchasing value of the $1 has gone down. It takes more of today's devalued dollars to match yesterday's cost.

My grandmother was born in 1929 in New Orleans about 6 months before the stock market crash, and she said growing up her family was not rich by any means, but she said that she was completely unaware that there was any serious financial hard times. It wasn’t until the rations during WWII that her family really had to tighten up financially, and be more frugal. I think that for most of us now, we’ve only learned about the most extreme situations during the depression, which I’m not minimizing, what people went through was awful, but we don’t really ever hear about how there were a lot of people in the country that it didn’t necessarily have as serious affects on. In the 08 recession, she told me that things were the toughest financially she’d ever experienced, so I think the point being made about how we are being taxed so much more, and how people are using credit cards just to survive are really good things for people to consider. The other thing I think people really need to start thinking about is learning how people in the past were able to stretch their resources, there’s a lot of wisdom there. They weren’t as wasteful back then, they found ways of stretching food, using everything until it just couldn’t be used anymore, we need to learn how to do that again, otherwise, I worry about how people would make it through another Great Depression.

I think it is important to compare not only income and prices, but also our lifestyles to the great depression: We eat out more, and cook less. When we do cook, it often isn't from scratch. What people do cook, we often waste. We aren't using food from a garden or eggs from chickens. We aren't raising our own meat, baking our own bread. We no longer sew our own clothes, and most Americans have more clothes than they know what to do with. Stores are filled with fast fashion, cheap plastic crap that breaks or rips, and is poor quality. We toss rather than repurpose. There are no longer shops on the corner that will fix the soles of our favorite leather shoes, and instead people own over 20 pairs. Our kids are in activities, or childcare, because most women work to afford the consumerism. We take vacations, send kids to summer camps. Most people were tracked into college, and therefore have student loans. Our houses are huge. Each child has a bedroom. Usually there are several bathrooms and even living rooms in a home. We finance fancy cell phones, computers, watches, service for all the gadgets, streaming services, data, storage. Families have multiple cars, usually ridiculously financed. Both sets of my grandparents lived through the depression. My mother was one of eight, and they slept with several kids in a bed. The family owned one car. My grandmother would make meatloaf often when I was a kid. She would use a little meat that was left, make the stale heals of bread into breadcrumbs and rinse out the bottom of the condiment bottles-mayo, mustard, BBQ sauce, ketchup. She threw in anything left in the fridge. She knew how to stretch food. My other grandmother would tear a napkin in half to share it. I understand some of this was out of necessity because they didn't have enough, but people also already lived frugally during that time and had skills and family dynamics to do so. We really are wrapped up in consumerism. It is difficult to blame our struggles on a recession or depression when we are choosing to live this way.

The interesting thing about the unemployment rate in America, is because Welfare is only for a limited time period rather than indefinitely in many states, it means that more often than not, people falling out of Welfare are no longer counted in the unemployment statistics, so the unemployment rate falls.

My company's profits have dropped while expenses are going up. It's depressing because its hard to see anything profit wise to look forward to. It's like a slow death of my American dream.

here in Vancouver BC Canada, we have the same annual income, but housing is $800k for a townhouse / condo. Detached house cost 2+ mil average... And our tax rate is doubled to that of USA. People here are flocking to the states like an exodus.

​@@jeremylandis82 let me give you an example of our free health care, I once fell during a hike, torn my knee down to the bones, went to the hospital and waited 12 hours to be seen. The infection spread all over while I waited. This is the free health care we have in canada

The higher the prices go, the more we are buying, only time in my history when the public continues to spend with NO hesitation as the costs for just about everything rise, rise, and rise...

[@MTEmployment]

A couple things that guild guy did not check was the amount of federal income tax during the Great Depression, which continued to rise, which actually amplified the impact of the great depression. When 1/4 of the population was unemployed in 1934 those that had jobs. It wasn’t so bad for those folks, but for those that are unemployed obviously, it was very, very hard time.

[@Cormac-y6r]

The solution is already waiting for us… that’s why we’re being pushed to “the brink”. New system… digital etc

[@redpillscholar560]

Years into the future they'll talk about how today in the United States we were well into a second Great Depression magnitudes greater than the first, but still wondering whether a mild recession or even a "soft landing" was in the cards. We are indeed the Empire of Lies...

[@theoneandonlybridge4210]

It really irritates me when people who grew up in a decent economy try to dismiss what i say about the economy today. I am told by literally every realtor that i cant afford a $500 mortgage despite the fact i pay $1034 a month for a 1 bedroom before any other bills. When i talk about this, im told i need to "stop wasting money" despite the fact that im basically spending all of it on my rent and bills and the tiny bit of food i can afford (and everyone is noticing how skinny i am getting). Im literally having to starve myself just to barely survive. I cant even afford to go to college or even move out of my apartment, becayse every other place wants first and last month rent plus the ungodly amount they want for security deposits (that i have literaly never seen anyone ever get back in MI), and its literally impossible to save that much when i gotta burn thru my savings to pay a late bill or work on a small problem with my car (which costs an arm and a leg to fix in MI). Im tired of this shit. Im tired, im hungry, and im pissed off about getting literally nothing for busting my ass off.

[@logancontracier7125]

Love how dude is like “prepare yourself” my guy, how tf am I gonna prepare myself with 60k a year and over 100k in debt. Debt for my duplex, and cars. Where am I pulling this money from?

[@jjbuckner]

Start budgeting, decrease spending and increase income through side hustles.

[@dick-vn3yv]

How did you get 100k in debt "buying" a duplex and cars and what was your plan in paying it off with compounding interest ? Did you do a budget first BEFORE borrowing the money, my guess is no.

[@ponolovefarms3926]

The price of gold has gone from 32$ an ounce in 1933 to over $2400 today. That’s a 75x. In 1932 it was just $20 an ounce. Things that make ya go hmmm

[@fullclipaudio]

Gold was $34 an ounce right up to 1971. That is the year the US defaulted on its debts.

[@shanejones578]

20 dollars an ounce 1792-1943. 35 til 71.

[@justSTUMBLEDupon]

5:55 I was earning 100k and doing fine, now I’m earning 130k and I’m doing worst. But I made an extra 30k, what happened? Half went to taxes, and the rest to inflation.

[@stevearnold8265]

No one ever talks about a step-by-step way to say something to the government about everything. Step-by-step what do you want us to do? We want change, what do we do?

[@lucario2able]

Exactly. It's all to clear that wither our elected officials aren't telling us everything or they're just allowed to be there, unchecked, doing whatever they want. They make a bunch of money while their citizens get shafted. It's getting old much like far too many of those officials.

Credit card debt is not caused only by groceries costing more. Tons of people have credit card debt because they want to live the influencer highlife.

Let’s also consider how much we we as Americans need to unite we need to fight against over taxation and over inflation with everything! Groceries, rent, cars, homes, we need to seriously figure out a way to unite and actually do something.
