Modern society has really fucked us up. Only 200 years ago we could have all built our own houses and worked on improving our own properties rather than slaving away for a corporation’s profit.

Even if you want out you’re kinda screwed with the price of land most places. My wife and I have good careers, make pretty good money, and yet we still aren’t sure we could afford to start a simple homestead.

Everything is a subscription. It’s the dystopia we have created.

And property tax.

This is basically the story of how a scary number of serial killers became serial killers.

I’ve been places on this planet where the police are obviously corrupt and a threat like this wouldn’t be unthinkable. Some of the people writing these scams probably have no frame of reference for what a reasonable threat would be in a place with less corruption.

I discovered this hack and I’m never buying a new vehicle ever again. I have a 25 yr old truck and a car nearly as old. On the car I’ve long since ditched the old head units to get bluetooth and Android Auto, cleaned up the minor surface rust on the frame and got a protective coating sprayed on, had the seats reupholstered, and upgraded brakes and suspension.

All that cost me less than a new car including the cost of the car and I didn’t have to either pay a massive lump sum all at once or go into debt to buy it.
