Veritasium is YouTube propaganda. It’s well documented - Derek takes sponsor money and gets people killed in the process. I blocked Derek on all platforms the day Tom put this documentary video out.

I’d start planning a move to the west coast so that your ‘side’ isn’t outnumbered when things pop off. Assuming you haven’t already made it out to Cascadia.
I’d rather let Trump win so that the Western states can finally have the motivation they need to secede and I can become a citizen of Cascadia and stop having to worry about all the nonsense in DC. And if the secession goes bad, the red states attack, and the fighting turns against us… I plan to sail up north to B.C. and request asylum.
Climate change already prevented me from ever considering having a family, so luckily I fit perfectly into the “disaffected military aged male” category that can risk it all in the hope of a better future. I pity the rest of you who would choose complacency and the path of least resistance over doing what’s right.
Sometimes the best thing that can happen is for things to get worse, because that can prompt you to end your complacency and make the changes you should have made long ago. When people of good conscience are forced to support a literal genocide because of how broken our system is… I think we’ve reached that point.
I bought my first house in 2009 - $125,000 on an income of $45,000. I even got a first time homebuyer credit of ~$8,000 to help make the purchase easier.
I make a little over $200,000 today, and I’m completely priced out of the market. I doubt I’ll ever own a home again and am currently living in a rundown old sailboat.
I’d take 2008 over this economy any day of the week!
Pure copium.
