Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

47 minutes ago The stupidity of these people makes me concerned that we are on the cusp of entering a new dark age. Good luck H these people are years and years beyond recovery. We generate one bag of garbage every 2 weeks. The can usually goes out every 2 weeks. Most weeks I see several cans fille...

This entire family of 3 used 1200 gallons of water last month and my 4 year old can flush the toilet by herself with no adult supervision and no issues.

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

Dark Age Chronicles This post will describe my 2 days after Christmas in the new dark age. Late yesterday evening, my wife told me that one of her friends had texted her saying she needs a favor, a big favor. (Before we started moving, I said there will be people wanting to move in with us. I said ...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

Last Thursday’s 2466 NASDAQ net declines, the highest since February 13, 2024, indicated extreme market selling pressure. However, this metric occurred when markets celebrated a record quarter for Nvidia and announced a ten-for-one stock split—especially telling behavior in a “great news environmen...

The stock market should give some lead time for knowing when it will all fall apart, but probably not as much lead time as in 1929. This morning it's coming off its recent all time high. Meantime, the prep work will continue. https://i.postimg.cc/50mJbhg9/20240511-122607.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/tJZ...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

What about security, Higgiebotham? This issue is often ignored by half-baked preppers. I had a "Gaia Earth mother" tell that "she would share" the produce from her small farm and criticized me (to the point of finger wagging) that "I should believe in the humanity of my fellow human beings". She al...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

Also, this was posted a few years ago. The information in this pdf (page 5) is about the agricultural production capacity of US states. At the present time, Texas is one of the few states that has a positive balance of trade and it probably has the largest per capita positive balance of trade of any...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

https://i.postimg.cc/8PSZCYNw/veg-0.jpg Probably another good proxy for a quick judge of general growing conditions would be to look at corn yields. So in the Blackland Prairie area of Texas where I am now, corn yields are OK but not great. It can be seen from the USDA corn yield map that there are...

Meantime, billionaires will repeat the slogan that people have never had it so good and the media will mindlessly quote it.
No one will believe it.
Enter Trump.

Or, more accurately, the movement that Trump represents.
