Very often, when we're sitting together, I'll look up and around our house, and then at her, and say something to the effect of, "can you believe this?"

I am happy for you. Caribbean women are awesome.

We've been getting these posts lately about how bad things are. People talking about America being this graveyard of dreams. That's not been my experience.

I grew up with what most here would consider the American version of poverty, and even though it took me a long time to gain the cognizance to recognize it, once I went to Iraq, that idea was over. We didn't have a car, or a phone, and there were times my dad heated water on a wood stove so we could have warm baths, but being able to contrast that against what I saw in Iraq left no doubt that I had it alright.

I've said it before, my wife grew up on mud floors with no running water. When the white people would come through with "medicine," everyone would line up, with no idea about what they were being injected with.

I think there exist legitimate conflict over the rise of globalism and corporatism. I don't recommend any man get involved in the corporate culture we have today. The banks have been enslaving people left and right, and by flooding certain markets with credit, they ensure that most people get pulled in one way or another.

My advice, however, is that instead of acting like a child, we all make rational decisions to separate ourselves from the corporate/globalist world. Both the left and the right are starting to do this. You see it with alternative media. You see it with the rising numbers of local farms. You see it with the rise of small trades and selling of custom items online.

I think we somehow need to integrate the alternative economies of these separate subcultures. I don't know how to do that, but those economies are there. I see both sides in my life all the time. The prepping community, for example, is packed with people making their own products and services to sell. Where I live, the hippies have built a pretty big alternative economy around food and crafts. The problem is that the politics of these groups differ so much, they hardly ever will interact. At least in terms of committing to fostering a more unified alternative economy, we all should start discussing these things.

Additionally, I think we need to seriously consider creating alternative communities for people living on the edge of homelessness. I have seen cob homes that look pretty nice, are cheaply constructed, and when built in a small village, could sustain quite a lot of people who have nowhere else to go. I realize that many people on the right would hate the idea of living in a commune, but a small cob village where the people work together to grow much of their own food and help one another build homes is not a bad deal for a lot of people who are struggling.

She calls me a filthy Spaniard, and a cave man, and a lot of it had to do with the spitting and dipping that I recently gave up, but part of it is because every so often I'll get a good intestinal culture where my farts smell like salisbury steak, to me at least. We'll spend the evening where every couple of minutes I go, "mmmmmmmmm," and she throws something at me.

I love "The New Money Thread."

p.s. I always read the DCF one.

Thanks. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks I'm clever.

Here's another easy one from wells fargo. This one pays 250 and you have to use the atm card 10 times.

So that's 450 a head for you mofos. If you got a buncha teenage kids like Kath, you might be able to retire.

If you use SiriusXM in your car, just call them up and say you want to cancel every once in a while. I turned down their first 2 offers, and got "the best price" - better package for half what I was paying before.

Corporations are such a fucking joke.

I can confirm this.

I ended up shitcanning my SiriusXM subscription a few weeks ago, at least until I get the remainder of my debt (non-mortgage) erased. While trying to cancel, I had about 3 offers thrown my way, each getting progressively cheaper until he threw out the half price offer. Tempting, but had to pass.

Does your subscription include Stern or just music?

No idea.. I've never been interested in Stern. I mostly just listen to the Spectrum (variety) or Prime Country (80s & 90s)

My in-law listens to him like every day and so does my younger brother. I personally really don't listen to him and I usually just stick to the 80s-2000s music.

Mine had Stern, Sports, all the news channels, plus music - didn't really need all those cause I switched between maybe 6 stations? (Stern was not one of them)

Generally loved having satellite radio, regular radio sucks copious amounts of turds by comparison. Although, when Liquid Metal did the 'Mandatory Metallica' for 2 weeks straight, I got sick of that shit pretty quick.
