Nothing to see here folks. Its all good..

You can only vote on one answer.

This is just another of those "American Economy is Toast" AI generated clips. Some facts I know to be real. Some I am not so sure. I am interested any ANY points of view based on personal experience of what is happening in America today.. I am NOT interested in pro or anti left or right comments, which will be deleted.. This is about the economics. Not the politics.. "Just the facts, Ma'am" 😷

Families will need to take a japanese style approach to living situations! own your land and home then slowly (& sustainably) build upwards adding stories (floors) to the dwelling; one for each new generation. Dont use debt to finance such construction do it yourself at lowest possible cost (pay in cash). Generations of family will need to support the family and allow sustainable growth. Own a car for when necessary otherwise take the bus (public transportation) whenever possible.
I have 80 offspring? But no ties to them so idk how that factors in.

@jehova A minimalist multigen model. A cultural shift, more atuned to some Migrant cultures..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman also true. Native American cultures were familial based maybe life was always supposed to be. In nature animals survive travel and prosper in herds packs and covens. Humans originally organized into tribes clans groups and families (bloodlines). We have become distant from our roots & biological nature? Is it that simple?!

@jehova Nothing is ever that simple. Because humans get more complex as we get more options. We build a deliberately multigenerational house back in the 70s, with a view ro caring for our parents. And we did. Now I am the senior and on my own in the house, because my wife has dememgtia beyond my ability to care for her, my son lives the professional urban lifestyle and my daughter and family "have to have" a pool. But no doubt when I move on some (possibly Asian) family will love the place to house grandparents or young marrieds..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman were the system reverted a bit to the more basic and original design we’ve identified. though life is growing in complexity certainly it doesn’t have to. Meet needs strive to make needs met more readily keep those you love and depend on close. If everyone else doesn’t cut their shit (especially in politics) that doesn’t force me not to flush my toilet or continue to empty my septic tank as scheduled.

@jehova Your philosophy is in direct conflict with the consumer culture. You have to have the latest Nikes, drive the right car and use the latest in skin care or you arent complete. Its always about making YOU more perfect..😷

jehova · 36-40, M

@whowasthatmaskedman and perfection is best achieved by satisfaction. I wish to have my needs met and be free from unnecessary suffering. Why strive for things I don’t need? To keep up with a capitalist notion of the Jones’. I’ve been dead multiple times already. Once you’ve experienced that all the bullshit becomes irrelevant. Shot at least twice brain surgery 3 times heart attack twice. Having died brings everything else into perspective. I know what matters survival family and being satisfied. Consumer culture is the reason wartime might never become peace.

@jehova I hesitate to use the word "Good" to describe the events you describe. But lets just say, they taught you well. Now how are we going to teach the other 329,999,999 ?😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I assure you I’m doing everything I can to get this perspective to catch on published twice given much to reveal methods to alleviate suffering from cures for disease to economic and societal conditions. Everyday I try to spread the word of me the oath of human citizenship and the concepts of universal humanity. It’s making gains I start this path in 2007 and more completely in 2012. Setbacks for sure but progress.

@whowasthatmaskedman one day at a time I’d say

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M

@jehova While I applaud your efforts, I stick to getting those near and dear to me. I used to get paid and rewarded for predicting outcomes. But I can tell you that unless your opinion is sought and paid for, few people even bother to listen..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman it’s true that’s why published original medical research won awards in high school and later breakthrough was made using my research, in part, to create a next generation device of the one my research was on then I did research using the next generation one too.
