TLDR- Keep the ship afloat; don’t abandon it. Unfortunately almost all of the infrastructure in place in our country (and many others in the Western World) are also built upon the model Cody astutely describes. If that model fails, so will the infrastructure. Prognosticating on that theme, you logically end up with mass chaos and tremendous suffering. It will take decades if not centuries to restore a comfortable, livable society…if it happens at all. My solution is to preserve what we have now. That will take a societal shift in personal responsibility to not just you and yours but to society as a whole. Can we do it? I hope so, for the sake of my unborn grandchildren.

It's kind of hard to keep the ship afloat when its getting boarded by replacements. I'm not black-pilled but this country got hijacked and our destinies have been stolen. Don't leave this country the way we were given it by generations of the past. It's no longer ours. I don't see men rising up anytime soon to take it back.

We can not make the necessary changes when what rules our society is Capitalism for the few at the expense of the rest. That's not rhetoric. One need only look at our vast vast economic inequality (in fact we have the highest level of economic inequality of any developed country) and the idea of 'just work harder' is not an answer. Did you know that AMericans work more hours per week than any developed nation? True. 'free markets' are not the answer - that word has been co-opted by the richest and corporations to decry helping others less fortunate - and to do so legislatively and via things like FDRs efforts. I'm a capitalist, I've incorporated 3x, and I am sickened that we allow such mass consolidation in every economic sector from health care to food and groceries. WE CANNOT "preserve what we have now" because what we have now IS not working for MOST people. It cannot continue

Do you even HISTORY? does anyone know why we say Columbus discovered america and not, the Viking explorer Leif Erikson~1000 A.D.?] America knows nothing of its true history and every one of you is guitly of regurgitating board of education lies and misdirections. The truth is about one days worth of reading that is still for all to see and hasnt been scrubbed off the internet like the man that proved the Philidelphia experiment to be real; John Hutchison aka The Hutchison Effect a physicist that depending on your intelligence proves or disproves John Stewart Bell of Bell's theorem a quantum physicist regarding hidden-variable theories pertaining to the behavior of particles like photons and electrons that dissapear from the physical world. ..Sorry to break the news to you but we havent lived in a capitalist society for about 40 years now.. in fact if my life depended on telling you when it ended i would say 1983/1984 and i have plenty of factual real world implications to prove that youve been lied to and why.. lets just start with USA is not a democracy..we are infact a constitutional republic a republic is a representative form of government that is ruled according to a charter, or constitution, and a democracy is a government that is ruled according to the will of the majority. Do you understand oxymoron? Because the usa is full of them case in point the bold type sentance above explains that a republic is governed by a constitution,, and that a democracy is ruled by majority.. but the secret oxymoron that was infact used against us is that the majority in a democracy has zero to do with people or humans because the true law of the land isnt constitutional law but in fact maritime law and as such none of us are seen by the court as people or humans.That means that the majority or ruling body in america is 435 members of congress.. 3 bodies of law run this world irrelivant of geographical location and that is because kings and queens existed well before any citizens rights or bill of rights.. the united states of america changed in 73 after henry kissinger made a deal to forever buy oil from sudi arabia and remove the gold standard or apex and as a result usa needed a way to have an insurred failproof policy that would remove the need for a gold backed dollar... hello 1974 america is incorporated. Why was america incorporated, because they could take a bond or note out on all citizens. at the time (there was no data but nixon and kissinger along with jp morgan international council had covert plans that in fact brought down chile for a coup .. made china 50 billion and a promise to other nations to make them rich and in fact promised nations money by the year 2020) how could they do all this you ask? Well with the bankroll of royal families from saudi arabia and abu dabi.. that my friend was the begining of the end to capitalism... this is because if their plans worked all americans will get a loan (unbeknownst to their person since maritime law dictate {people or persons}all persons birthed in usa are in fact seen as aliens [until one takes the bar exam or one is to stand as succeded and claim inalienable rights as a human] taken out by the incorporation of the usa goverment on their life expectancy and total expected life potential earnings in their time on earth and because since usa was incoporated all people in usa were now considered aliens..... this is where maritime law comes in... this is how the government with none other than jp morgan institute carried out his life wishes after he was long dead... maritime law is the law that spans all continents regaurdless of nation or ruler as the queen or king was the true law of the world but people think that because so many kings ruled the past, people forget that the last 100 plus years the queen of england had the final say of things around the globe.The queen long established that she alone would control the seas and therefore maritime law.. you can dispuite these facts all you desire.. that sad truth is you are born in america and therefor you edumacation was regulated by the board of education and who made school in america? more like who fixed school to keep kids alive longer because in 1836 4 and 5 year old kids cleanded chimneys and worked in foundries while adults ran around doing just about whatever thay wanted and used kids as the grunt of the workforce...the first search on google will try to tell you child chimney sweepers were only used in 1666 but in realty that was in london not the rest of the world they were in fact known as climbing boys and would you belive this is were the term doppleganger kinda got one of its definitions because orphans indeed had siblings and those siblings would send the smaller brother down the chimney with a rope and you cannot tell the difference between 7 boys with soot covering every inch of their bodies. The Chimney Sweepers and Chimney Regulations Act of 1840 was passed to end child labor and the Chimney Boys Act prohibited any under 21 years old to sweep a chimney. Lastly, A Chimney Sweepers Act was passed in 1875. in 1902 general education board was formed by rockefeller himself to the tune of 129 million... because jhon d rockefeller was the owner of standard oil and therefore had his hands double dipped in all things concerning america.. especially when jp morgan/ institute and rockefeller/ decendants were basically learning usa would soon no longer buy oil from them and instead would buy oil from overseas as this was a 50 year ongoing battle between usa governmen and private entity... wich made the bed for the falicy of usa being a capitalist country for a solid lets say 70 years .. when in reality usa has almost always been a special interest country or in other words whom ever had plans and money aka special interest lobbyist power to inflence public policy and opinion.

Its a big concern in Canada, but not a new issue. I know of families that had to sell their family cottage, that had been in the family 60-80 years due to the fact that the property taxes exceeded what the family could pay due to the increases in the value of the property. Same with single family homes in big cities. My parents bought their home for $72K in Toronto in the mid-1970s. The taxes are over $10K a year now for a 1200 sqft bungalow. Luckily they can afford it, but that's nuts when you are on a fixed income. The city's solution was to give them a $500 seniors rebate. Nice, like that helps.

UK 1967: The main difference that I see here, is that the extending of the railway infrastructure for the industrial bases allowed the development of new communities, moving people steadily away from their agricultural roots. At that time, families still settled in the new community, relatively close to each other; most living in 'council housing'. Within two generations that has changed drastically, to families being really geographically polarised. I travelled to Switzerland some years back and saw the same patterns in traditional communities there. Houses were full, but mostly of tourists. Owners put their properties on tourist sites as they couldn't afford to live in them themselves. Remaining locals had no support networks and very few people to talk to. Over time, their numbers will decline, making the situation worse. This same template is repeating throughout Europe. The older, property owners live in rural communities that lack support systems as the young are tempted towards the cities 'where it is all happening'. In the UK, I see lots of young people take grandparent support for their children for granted, but those same adults go on to neglect their elders once they no longer 'have need' for them. We are on a bad path, but us older ones can show the younger generations where their priorities should lie. I give praise to the Homesteading communities who put their lives on show to the world and give such a positive view of life. I am always in awe of the their skills and work ethic/ commitment. Thank you to them all, you are very much appreciated.

You mind telling me what you remember your grandfather saying as far as the motives? I ask because its getting real commie up here everywhere you look, we're getting overrun, and im genuinely wondering if the souths real reason for succession had to do with it along with fighting that mentality from ever infecting their states...im sure they dont tell us the full truth up here.

I'm ten years older than you. Grew up and went to school in Virginia. But in the summer I went to a family tobacco farm in NC. Some of the family didn't have running water or bathroom in the house. In the winter I live with my grandparents and seven other family members. We ate dinner together every day, and had extended family over every Sunday. Part of the family came to Virginia looking for work back in the 30's. I miss those days more now than ever because I see my 3 kids about twice a year. I know the times are getting hard, but if that's what it takes to get my kids back home, so be it. We now have some land and are doing the same as you, building very small basic homes for each of them. Thanks for all the great information over the years, it has helped alot.

The only hope our children will have a property of their own is to prepare it for them now. Otherwise, they will be in state supplied accommodation with thoughts and behaviour controlled accordingly i.e. “You will own nothing and be happy”. However, the digitisation of assets in the blockchain is truly frightening and I worry that will turn the concept of private property into a thing of the past. Technofeudalism awaits…but at least try to put things in place now.

I was born in 1979, a late Gen X'er myself. I was very close to my Grandfather, who was born in 1922. I have so many great memories and stories from him telling me about growing up in the 20s/30s/40s and I love telling my kids about them, born nearly 100 years after my Grandpa. I think it gives people a much different perspective on things. He drove a delivery truck when he was 12, that blows my kids' minds.

I’m 30 years old. Husband, father of two. I’ve worked very hard to put us in a position early in life to begin our long term plan. A multigenerational largely self sufficient homestead. It is possible. My wife and I bought our home on 20 acres in 2022 and a few weeks ago we purchased the ~15 acres we shared a property line with as a place to build all our children their own home some day. Long term vision is important. Short term action is too. I’ve yet to start to develop our new property, but it’s always good to begin with the end in mind. Great video Cody.

We're already making room for another family to move in. Everything Cody says it true.

My family is going through this right now. I'm in my early 40's. My wife and I have been through so much (I've had a lot of health issues) and we've been busting our butts for years, but just can't get ahead. We're currently living with her parents. At first it was because we were in a brief transition, but then my wife's mother had a stroke, so now we're staying to help. We've been planning to move off the farm, but now I'm beginning to wonder if we really should be staying to help and to begin building a future for our children right here on the farm, under our care and the care of their grandparents. Times are changing, but they always do. I'm not sure that separating the family and shipping our children half way around the world for college only to chase after money, retire, play golf and die alone has been such a good idea. It's caused a lot of problems. Multigenerational households and/or farms was the way of things before in the U.S. and will be again. I think it's for the good, but we need to prepare now so we're not trying to play catchup.

don't mess with Gen X. Its is well stated that we had no parental oversight, we were completely feral and there was no record of any of our shenanigans. We were free to do whatever without it being permanently documented on the internet. The Gen X you see today are those that survived. We know what its like to live both with and without internet and are therefore the only bridging generation that fills the gap between boomers and the millennials where we are constantly playing the middle man.
