You can buy a Tuff Shed for $20k with foundation installment, insulate it yourself, all for less than $27k. Toss in electrical, and water; you're looking at around $40k. Permits and such will probably add another $10-$15k. Overall, you're looking at $80k for a tiny home in a major city versus homes that go for more than $600k. Rurally in my county, I've seen homes go for $300k, so you're still saving a fuckton of money.
Tiny living absolutely goes against capitalism and our need to consume more than what we can handle to be further in debt by those who control the means.
Corporations are buying up homes to rent them out or tear them down to build small condos to rent out.
Land is limited in America and it'll get worse. Before covid I didnt buy a 5 acre lot for $4k because it was out in the desert + wife was unsure of job opportunities. The same lot today is going for $20k.
It's not just tiny homes are getting up their in price; they are extremely affordable. The issue is you'll need to place it on a foundation and once you do, you'll be beholden to the same permits as a regular sized house which can add a tremendous expense. Sure, you can go the trailer/on wheels route, but that opens up to other issues such as home theft (literally) to cities outright not allowing it on your lot.
Also take into consideration that a lot of municipalities do not like tiny homes as it goes against the look of the town/city, to some even outright banning them to having exorbitant fees placed on them.
I've looked into tiny homes and to save money, I would have to move out to the rural areas where I am permitted to build them without being hassles by the city. Oh, and if your neighbor doesn't like your home, you can definitely expect frequent visits from the city inspectors to fuck your day over.
All I want is a tiny home, and a big front/backyard to garden/self-sustain my family.
The US at the time deported Latino citizens due to the increases racism/bigotry. Most of them were farmhands who knew how to work the land, better than the white farmers. The US realized their mistake in the middle of the depression and attempted to woo the same people back under the Vaquero program. The promise of citizenship was never fulfilled by the US.
You can ride any vehicle you want, but will also be opened up to criticism in your decision. No need to drive a massive dodge ram thats 5' lifted. There was a study that shows those type of trucks cannot see pedestrians in front of them, posing a risk to school children and distracted drivers.
The real issue is Big Auto circumventing laws to make these massive vehicles to avoid paying additional taxes on fuel efficient cars.
At my kids school, there's quite a few lifted vehicles with pristine paint jobs, letting others know that they never take their car out on trails let alone use it for what it's made for. Pathetic pavement princesses.
Some LCS's (local card shops) are more Magic focused, some are more Pokémon focused, as well as Yugioh focused. They'll still sell other product, but most likely have a core group of players who show up to play one type of game.
The LCS I used to go to sold everything, but it was largely known to be the spot to play MTG/have tournaments consistently versus their Pokémon days.
These arricles are meant to be rage bait for the techno-illiterate. As you said, cell phones mapped your house long ago as well as your smart TV, or any appliance that requires an internet connection.
Germans were normal people who turned a blind eye to concentration camps as they continued on with their lives.
Just like how the majority of Americans turn a blind eye to the modern Gestapo rounding up anyone who is brown, and sending them off without due process.
You speak from privilege to think there were good times in America. If you're a minority, you knew that was bullshit. If you knew US History, then everything is a facade.
Big Pharmacy in the US as well as the death panels ran by US Health Insurance Corporations are responsible for killing more Americans than whatever chemical plants in China are doing.
But hey let's use the Chinese as a scapegoat once the brown folks get rounded up.
I try to sell my excess produce below grocery store pricing, but people at the meet ups always tell me how they dont have enough money or got no money, if I can give it to them for free.
It really is something that a black man elected as POTUS managed to get somewhat decent affordable healthcare for all. Really goes to show a lot of politicians, regardless of beliefs, are only serving their own interests and of their donors.
The American people are just a byproduct. When will the masses learn we are engaged in a 2 front war: Republicans that became Nazi's over a dpan of a few decades and the Ownership class making regular citizens fight amongst themselves.
The trick is to get the green/light green bananas as they begin to ripen. Buying yellow to slightly darker yellow bananas will shorten their shelf life tremendously.
I'm not a fan of freezing them as they'll still continue to ripen. Your best case scenario if you start seeing them browning out is to make some banana bread or mix it in cupcake/cake mix.
While cool of you to say, realistically the most pro 2A amendement nutjobs are awfully quiet with the US descent into fascism since said nutjobs likely voted for the Nazi. This is leopard eating my face
Bro, the US has been a 3rd world country masquerading as a 1st world country a lot longer than Trump. The US propaganda machine is top tier, fooling American citizens that theyre greatest enemy is each other, as well as promoting individualism at the cost of the individual.
Richest nation on earth yet the majority are 1 health emergency away from bankruptcy, to people skipping doctor visits due to how expensive our Healthcare is while the rest of the world gets to enjoy free healthcare. Wake the fuck up, "entering" like thanks for the depressing ass chuckle this morning.
Her father bought her a music studio after she failed to gain recognition. If it wasn't for her family's existing wealth, there would had been a possibility thwt we may have never heard of her.
Taylor Swift music is generic white woman fantasy mixed in with her ability to fool her fans into buying multiple copies of the same album. There's Fandom that are toxic, then there's hers who drown out any valid criticisms of the artist.
She's also a MAGA incognito, surrounds herself with MAGAts. Like that saying; if youre having dinner with nazi's, what does that make you?
