I only need money when I go to a shop.
The most intriguing bit about the last year is the difference between those of us in the rural areas and those in cities and towns.
In the latter everyone complies.
In the rural people with land make their own bars and grills.
Government shut them in towns and cities, people build their own in rural areas.
It is impossible to police private land where there simply is no money changing hands.
Cashless society.
I can see the drive towards that. But I already live that.
I can go to the next farm down from me and get a meal every day of the week.
He also plies me with alcohol, I return the favour.
We have a farm down the road that has the best grill and bar for miles. All free.
I can go and get eggs for free.
I give a lot of the food we grow away to people that share with us.
This is cashless.
What is the point of me writing this you may ask?
We already can live cash free.
All you have to do is share resources and cut out the middle man. Government.
Anarchy.
Or is it?
I now ride on the road with no helmet. I have lost all faith in any form of government.
The local mayor is afraid to leave his house, and so he should be.
The mismanagement of public funds meant last winter the roads were not cleared of snow as he spent all the tax money on himself.
Tough.
You reap what yee sow.
I can leave my place with a smile on my face. He cowers behind his curtains that remain permanently closed.
It is possible to live with no money. It is possible to share and do trades for free.
I am living proof. And add to that this is not even my country.
I am a visitor here.
I have been here 7 years in July.
I do not even speak the language well. Just enough to get by.
But and a big but. I still manage to live here with respect, no harm done to me, no abuse and a smile.
On occasions I grow some cannabis. It is illegal but who really cares when you are in the middle of nowhere? Nobody.
The world needs to get rural. It is not anarchy. It is indeed bliss.
When you take no notice of the rules anymore you make up your own. And it works well.
There is an 11 year old boy 2 farms over that rides his dirt bike past my farm every day on the road.
Other people would dismiss his father as crazy for allowing him to do so.
I know his mother passed away. His father struggles with depression. And he lets the kid do it to keep the child sane.
I err on the side of thinking he is giving that child life skills at a very early age. I did the same when I was young. So I can not judge the kid or the father. or I become a hypocrite. So I showed said child how to wheely a 300cc KTM yesterday :-)
I am watching the complete breakdown of society.
And led by those at the top.
There must be some back up plan, as if not non of it makes sense.
Why would you want to ruin a free ride? They are though.
De-fund the police has started here. Like many countries.
I think de-fund the government would be better.
Then the mayor would have to get a real job.
This is though the funny part of this all.
The mayor who is supposed to have power now has no freedom.
It is like watching a parody 2020 - 2021.
Those who print it and abuse it have no freedom.
Those that can trade smiles and food have.
Well they can keep the funny money Fiat.
We will keep our freedom.
One world. One love. All brothers and sisters. But the power crazy forgot.
Let em hide I say.
