“The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us.” ― A. W. Tozer The world we knew is dead, if it were ever alive to begin with.
Excellent article! Homesteading is all the rage for those of us in the know. As more people figure it out, it becomes harder and harder to find an ideal homestead property, so no better time than the present.
I wanted to share a recent revelation I just discovered. Since chickens are most beginners starting point, it's wise to investigate the many benefits of rabbits over chickens for a meat supply. Yeah,they're cute and cuddly (actually another perk), but if you line up the pros/cons of rabbits and chickens, they out perform in EVERY way. Turns out there's gobs of videos and articles on this topic so I won't waste any more of your time, but get to learning more if you're considering yard birds!
What I find most amusing about the complaints of inflation is they generally come from the same types of people who were suggesting that people like me were evil because we saw that shutting down the economy for a “virus” was going to have severe longterm consequences.
This is before getting into central banking, peak oil, falling EROI, and other complex topics. The average person is incapable (and as Carlin reminds us from the grave, 50% are below that) of even beginning to understand the future that awaits them. They have no concept of why the way things are now and why they will be different in the future beyond “I’ll buy fewer Doritos”.
Adoption of the «Food Programme» in 1982 was perhaps the first time Soviet leadership admitted that the country isn't well and isn't moving in the right direction. From there, it however took another nine years for the USSR to circle the drain one last time.
This might be roughly the point where the West is now, which might mean false revival («perestroika») is still ahead of us.
I don't think we need to return to an agrarian way of life, I just think people need to learn to grow more of their own food, and that's different. People used to get a lot more of their fruits and vegetables from the garden, which is also a way better way to do it because a lot of what's sold in stores is there based on what can be preserved easily, not based on what people like the most. I don't think there's anything wrong with agriculture but I don't think everyone needs to go run back to the countryside. Modern agriculture is industrial anyway.
> Canada's inflation rate is falling, so why are grocery prices still so expensive?
What an incredibly stupid question. What do people think inflation is? The balloon is getting bigger slower than it was a minute ago, so why isn't it smaller?
Have you ever read Ivan Illich? He was onto the fact that our social institutions were doing the opposite of what they said they were doing back in the 70s and early 80s. Medical Nemesis is particularly relevant to the Covid era, and Tools for Conviviality is the white pill book he wrote.
i would like to meet the 26% of the people who are making over 200K,and don't find it easy to feed their families and household. 220K a year is upper middle class, and 74% said it was easy to feed their family's. doesn't make sense that it's not closer to 100% or at least the mid 90's. what say you?
Average yield per acre of rice in 2023 in the US was 7,649 pounds. Overall average can vary depending upon many factors and can be as low as 2,000 pounds per acre. Even at the lower end of the range it would only take about 1/5 of an acre to get a yield of a pound per day for a year. At the higher end of the average range you could do it on 2,000 square feet (a 50’ x 50’ square).
Potatoes yield 10,000 30,000 pounds per acre. You can grow and raise all your food and firewood needs on 10 acres.
I ate the last of the cabbage I put away last fall, yesterday. We are almost out of carrots. Plenty of potatoes and squash left though. This year I will grow more carrots, cabbage and onions.
Basically I built a box around a basement window, keeping the window open adjusting it depending on the weather.
Canadians should be proud to have such spokesperson as Theodore. Although y'all are pants due to the Royal ruling class. America is your ONLY hope. So please stop dreaming you'll ever be free as the USA. SUPPORT the USA and the RNC. So there may be hope for Canada and the rest of the shackled world citizens of God.
What a crazy place Canada has become. The only reason I can think of why one would stay is if the magnetic pole shift came soon and it went into the equator, which seems unlikely.

“In fact, 74 percent of those earning more than 200 thousand dollars found it very easy or easy.”
What on earth are the other 26 percent eating? Caviar and endangered species steaks covered in gold leaf?
