Got it.

From what I can gather the Amish are perhaps a bit of an exception that might still perhaps be a model for the future.

They pay income, sales and real property taxes but are exempt from FICA, FUTA, and Self-Employment taxes.

Yes they have a kind of circular economy where they trade with each other but they are still subject to state and federal regs.

It's coming.

Not only is this a great parody, but that video has 1.7 million views, earning the creator about $12K for a short less than a minute long.

He's onto something ..

@Zeb @DoubleD @37712 @Tfmonkey

I admittedly don't know enough to speak with any authority on this, but a first step I would look into is to find out how the Amish and other collectives engage in trade.

Do they engage in individual or collective trade bargains for instance, that kind of thing.

There have to be approaches to decentralized community-based agriculture that don't leave them complete;ly open to rape by the government and predatory Big Ag.

God I hope this is real. It would explain so much.

@DoubleD @37712 @Tfmonkey

Even in the early 20th century it was common for households to own a single cow and a few chickens.

Wealthier families had more cows, maybe a pig or 2, or a couple of sheep/goats.

That's the micro solution, but what do you think the macro farming solution is if we're locked into using corn/soy? Genuinely curious.

@37712 @Tfmonkey

Which is why farmers need to literally pierce the cows stomach with a big ass needle to let the gas out of their bloated stomachs.

It's a problem WE created.

@Mr_Mister

Please do that. You have alot of growing up and studying to do.

@admin

Excellent, I pull the latest and give it a whirl later.

Time to update my mainnet node.

@DoubleD

For now, yes. It's our best bet. Maintain your body, weapons and resources.

@Mr_Mister

Not mad. Amused and irritated in turns like a father is by a whiny child screaming that life's not fair she has to eat her vegetables.

That's you.

@Mr_Mister

You have a bug up your ass about religion so perhaps you were diddled by a priest or something.

Since you need me to tell you what to do, I'll throw you a bone.

Go and study world history and learn about all the proud patriarchal atheist empires and civilizations that have ruled the world.

Attaboy.

@Mr_Mister

Go and read some history books for God's sake. Do your own homework.

@fullmetalScience @rottenwheel

Nailed it, it's a very noob-friendly service.

@Mr_Mister

Haha, delusional fool.

@Spingebill @tyler

Nice

@Mr_Mister

And where in anything did I say that you, you have to be religious?

Everything I've said is an accurate description of the facts on the ground. Religious patriarchal families divorce less, fact.

I could care less if you're religious, that's on you. Doesn't make the facts any less true. Go shout no to a bitch if you want.

Your need for validation comes off as weak-minded.

@Mr_Mister

You seem to think I want to convince you of something? No, I don't. I could care less whether you listen or not.

Go and find out for yourself or scream in your bitch's face. I'm not your daddy.

@Mr_Mister

You don't. There's no gun to your head, just go and tell her whatever you want. Shout no in her face if you want.
