Trade us stuff or expertise we want, for stuff or expertise we have.

That's cool. I am just curious how it works in practice. I have often thought that is the way we need to move the economy, I am just unsure about how to actually accomplish it in practice.

Corn, apples, 220 electrical outlets, a chain link fence come to mind from 2017.

I mean it’s not something we advertise. But we always need stuff. As I’ve said, we carry are own accounts so prolly half the time it’s folks on hard times that owe us money and we negotiate. The other half it’s usually we came to them for their services first, then they wanted stuff we have.

If I was going to, I would use it as something to offer them after I already knew I have something they want. Half way through the equation of both having something the other wants.

So do you sell the produce, or do you try to work with an orchard for example to press it into cider that you can later sell for more than the apples were worth by themselves?

Billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel has said he plans to leave Silicon Valley in part because of its perceived cultural uniformity. He isn’t the only one.

Several tech workers and entrepreneurs also have said they left or plan to leave the San Francisco Bay Area because they feel people there are resistant to different social values and political ideologies.

Some will flee.
Others will adapt to their environment and adopt the groupthink.

Once the old insurgents become the new establishment, another insurgency kicks off somewhere else, Austin Texas or someplace like that.

Its not just Silicon Valley, its a large majority of the population up there. Remember, that's where I grew up and most of the opinions I see coming out of family and friends are bonkers
