Prepper Ping - Bailing out of society because its getting crazy and chaotic, and institutions seem to be failing us
As the nation seems to be chaotic and erratic, some are talking about "going off the grid", and inflation is driving many to become more independent
More information is contained within the article

" Analysts with ZeroHedge pointed out that there’s a sudden panic leading Americans to search for a way out of our society.
Research has shown that the number of people in the U.S. searching for the term “live off-grid” on the Internet has hit the highest level in five years."

"The driving force behind finding a rural piece of land for dirt cheap, buying or building a tiny home, installing solar panels, and sourcing your own food and water
might have to do with the worst inflation storm in a generation, the experts noted.
The worst housing affordability crisis in history and the deterioration of people’s confidence in our institutions
are driving many to try to become independent from our system
because they can already feel that it is only a matter of time before everything starts crumbling down."
p>"As economic conditions get worse, people are becoming more desperate.
This is fueling a shoplifting wave all over the country, and some grocery stores are being forced to implement extreme measures right now.
A new report by the Washington Post reveals that Giant Food stores are taking all Tide, Colgate, and Advil products off the shelves completely
because theft has become an enormous problem."

18 months ago I relocated from Tampa to what I refer to as the "Reelfoot Lake region" of NW TN. This area is still pretty much untouched by the mass migrations, and also still quite affordable. There's money to be made here as well doing such things as house-flipping.

The best thing about this region is the people themselves. They're absolutely wonderful. It's almost as if I stepped back to the 1950's.

I do not miss the "crazy and chaotic".

...and also encourages women to think they’re all a ‘10’ resulting in them only dating the top 5% of men, whom enjoy the options and have no reason to commit to any of them (making the women think ‘all men are trash’, no - only the few you all go after).

Dating apps give the ‘modern woman’ the reach to men they’d never have had before - young average men can’t find a date. Now even those that marry find themselves with a wife that gets (quota) promoted at work, earns more than him, and ends up divorcing him because she believes, as a divorced ‘successful’ mother, she can do better. This happened to my son, where she even admits he’s the ‘greatest dad ever’ (of two daughters), a good earner (degreed, white collar job), where there’s no abuse, no fighting, no money problems, no addictions, etc.. She just “isn’t feeling it” anymore.

All while we hear over and over about “toxic masculinity”...because it’s from the mouth of ‘feminism’ that is destroying everything. None of it is good for ANYONE. Social media and dating apps are destroying relationships, they’ve created a generation of selfish narcissists addicted to ‘likes’.

It IS a cancer: Man-made and with intent to cause exactly the effect we’re seeing.

I’ve stated it prior: If you want to save America, focus not on the larger game, but the local one (family, neighbors, local/state politicians).

It would have the intended effect, but the majority of us are literally frogs in near-boiling water.

It’s rather pathetic.

“The Current Regime captured these institutions just as their credibility was failing. Maybe you could say they captured them because their credibility was failing.”

No, they captured them first by purposefully infiltrating themselves into these institution and organization like termites, and it’s only accelerating.

It’s all part of the plan. The left followed Gramsci’s advice of “the long walk through the institutions” to a “T” , and it’s worked like a charm for them.

And like termites, they’re destroying the foundations of this house.

Probably is.

Who is to blame—all of us! We let it happen. Americans need to get mean, get real and start to take things into their own hands. The clowns who are wrecking things were ELECTED to power by US! We didn’t mind their happy talk openly black racism and communist ideas. Time to get mean and go all 19th Century. It that means a few heads will get bumped—so be it. We have no choice. A nation in this shape can not win a real with with any advanced nation on the Battlefield. You think our Oceans will protect us? Rome thought the Alps would protect them—they didn’t and Rome Fell. Mark my words, if we do nothing a Mussolini will rise up and set thing to right. Even the Mafia was quiet when he was in charge.

COSTCO has asked customers to present their receipts since they opened their doors.

NOT an insult.

Burning Man attendees were trying to do that 2 weeks ago when “CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE PROTESTERS” blocked the highway with an empty trailer that looked like a boat trailer in N NEvada.

After traffic was backed up OVER 10 miles—bumper to bumper, the cops got called.

Drivers tried to reason with them to get out of the road——THEN THE PAIUTE TRIBAL POLICE showed up.

KNOCKED the trailer out of the road, exited 4 wheel trucks & ordered all the protesters on their knees or they would shoot.

I hope those fools get some serious time in a Tribal jail.

They aren’t in Kansas any more.

As I said.

We took the cubs on a "before school starts" road trip down to see the other half of the family.

The rules, since we were moseying along and not trying to break any land speed records, was state roads, no chains.

Stopped at every place that took our fancy, farm equipment expos, church carnivals, gun shows, county fairs, saw some places that had given up and saw even more that were fighting back to keep their little slice of heaven running.

'merica, yeah.

Everyone sees the cultural rot. The problem is. Democrat idiots think the solution is more democrap policies. They always double down on failure. For example. Chicago.

I don’t live far from Leavenworth. A great little town to visit with the RV. In my experience, there are ZERO good Californians moving to any area outside of Cali. Everyone of the, brings California with them. Since the pandemic they have gobbled up every house and property with Silicon valley wages driving out the locals who have relied on the usual local economies. I am looking for a place on Mars but soon enough we won’t even be able to afford a scrap of red dirt on another planet.
