RE: WHEN THE INCREDIBLE BECOMES UNIMPORTANT – Lamenting the Obvious Disconnect of Modernized Civilizations and Possibly Losing $324,000
I meant that many have in their possession things like cars, boats, houses etc, that they do not own.
The amazing car parked in front of the majestic house are just things that the bank owns, and that the people will have to work a long hard time for and pay a lot in interest for just to attempt to actually "own" them one day.
Those people are not free to just leave and go where they please, and become wage slaves attempting to maintain possession of their creature comforts.
There was a time when all I owned was on a school bus, and I had very little. Many times in this life I've just dumped what I had accumulated and moved on with almost nothing, so I understand what you are saying.
Yeah, debt is a problem... It perpetuates the lifestyle slavery.
I wonder, did you read the milionair fastlane (book)? It talks about this a lot.
I found it quite good.
Personally no amount of slavery, debt and un-privacy would drive me to ditch urban comfort. But, the perpetually worsening food quality could...
I bet your chicken never smell like fish...
p.s. If you have your own chicken how do you ensure the eggs are free of harmfull bacteria?
We cook the eggs and wash our hands a lot. Other than that, I'm not sure, but no issues yet.
"Chicken smelling like fish?" - News to me (thankfully)
I've never read that book, and I agree, the urban setting does allow certain comforts, but I'm more comfortable in the wild, and cities are a close enough drive if and when we want.
Thanks for the discussion @mrlogic.
Always a pleasure :)
