Our government is far too interested in centralized digital currencies for my personal comfort. We need other options, and sooner rather than later. Prepping isn’t living in fear.

Earth Overshoot Demands Stronger Civic InfrastructureThe challenges we face from climate change, extreme weather, biodiversity loss, and all the other symptoms of “Earth overshoot” are, in part, civic challenges. Our ability to respond effectively is complicated by rampant misinformation and the absence of safe spaces for informed, participatory planning. Older forms of public engagement—attending conventional “three minutes at the microphone” public meetings, signing petitions, writing letters to the editor—are insufficient for meeting these challenges and out of step with how Americans live today. If we want to achieve better envi... read more

*"Bums at the Fed"* by Bill Bonner *Amsterdam, The Netherlands -* "In the airport… we were shocked to see dozens of Chinese people in full hazmat gear. White suits with hoods and booties… double masks… face screens. Young people. What were they so afraid of? Do they intend to go through their whole lives like that…? Didn’t they get the message?
