That last post of mine about the CDC and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs is a good example how Google and Bing etc censor stories and websites OUT of their results.

"Redfield told the Senate Committee" will get you hits but "Former CDC Director Says FDA Underreported Adverse" will get you none. The news sites that do carry the story appear to be small independent ones and carry many other embarrassing stories of interest too.

Retired Sheriff Says Putting Men in Women’s Prisons is Causing ‘Unprecedented Rise in Violence’ https://thevirginiastar.com/news/retire ... 024/07/17/

Amtrak Trains Keep Breaking Down Despite Massive Injection of Taxpayer Cash https://tennesseestar.com/politics/amtr ... 024/07/16/

I spoke of this on the infrastructure thread. It's a classic sign of decay in a nation.
Since the creation of Amtrak in 1971, it has failed to turn a profit and is predicted to continue losing $1 billion a year for the foreseeable future.
The pattern this follows is thus: Eventually all of the passenger lines out of the cities will close, except for a few tourist lines. Then the city lines will fall into disrepair. A couple of main trunk lines for freight will endure, for a time. Of course the US still has resources, but if the money vanishes, hasta la vista baby.

I just posted in the "Death of Suburbia Thread" that the premise of that thread has turned out to be totally wrong.

What we actually see in the US today isn't the death of Suburbia but the death of cities.

Watching that Chinese documentary on the death of the American cities it became clear to me that many are already dead. But that is, as plant points out above, the city centers, for a city also includes it's suburbs. In one sense (ignoring detroit, the former Detroit) our modern suburbs that surround our city centers don't lend themselves to progressive decay. They are all houses with a few small parks dotted here and there, there is no place for homeless people to 'hide' there is no access to water for them outside of the homes and perhaps a park tap. There are certainly no begging opportunities, perhaps in the carpark of the local shopping center but security would move these on pretty quickly I'd imagine.

The sprawling modern burbs are insulated by their vast convoluted street networks and lack of anything but houses. Their collapse will come in a rush I imagine as access to the personal motor vehicle vanishes or becomes limited. Then we will see some of that backyard gardening that was talked about in the early years of Peakoil but it will not be enough to sustain families. These places will literally become hellholes once the water stops pumping and the electricity is cut off. Energy, you need it in some form, even wood to cook with and heat in the winter. There is no wood there, no food, no native clean water sources. Like the burbs of ancient Rome they will have to be abandoned and all that wealth will have been wasted. As James Howard Kunstler quipped, people will be stuck up a cul-de-sac in a concrete SUV without a fill-up. They will have become the greatest miss-allocation of capital in the history of the world.

Scale, it all comes down to scale. A small town in a rural area where abundant food is grown and natural water sources are abundant. A town surrounded by what is essentially one large suburb, this will be viable. It's the tried and proven 'village' model that has been in use for thousands of years. But scaling that up to the city level suburban sprawl was a tragic mistake. It built inherent weaknesses into the model, it's vastly dependent on cheap energy. This is all old news of course but it bears repeating because if we want to know when it becomes advisable to flee these doomed burbs we must try and find some metric, some inflection point where we can say "After this the trouble begins" and then sell up and move before that point is reached.

Lucky,

I have a video for you. Probably skip the intro, about 13 mins. This guy is super interesting and makes some excellent analytic points.

[theluckycountry]

This guy is super interesting and makes some excellent analytic points.

Yeah well 4.5 hours of philosophical projections and what the world needs to do is really of no interest to me newfie. I left all that behind 15 years ago, today I focus on what's happening now, and how I can tailor my personal life to mitigate the issues these people spend their lives debating.

A rural home in a food growing region, an all white population, a good spread of wealth so crime is non-existent. Not "land" but a block in town, in the village, where you find the most security.

The speaker points out currency problems, I buy gold and silver, he talks about digital security issues, I run a vpn on a secure laptop and do next to nothing on my mobile devices, I keep as far as possible from the digital wonderland. Living on Mars? Mind uploading? Why even discuss these issues, they are all SciFi? The bearded guy in the T-shirt is off on some trip of exploration and the younger guy is obviously just trying to build a revenue stream on youtube so he doesn't have to get a real job.

Don't waste your time with this shit mate, it'll just have you running around in circles. look at how you can keep the lights running in your home after an EMP attack instead. Practical fun stuff, then spend the rest of your time enjoying life with friends and those you love. I just spent an hour downstairs on the Gym, tomorrow it's an early visit to the local market garden and then a motorcycle ride into a major town to discuss some work on one of my bikes.

I'll pop in on a mate there, we're building a radio link between us with Yargi antennas and I want to see how his end is going along. Sunday I'll probably take a ride on the adventure bike up into the mountains to a cafe by a waterfall and chat with some of the riders who pass that way. Bikers are instant friends typically, there is a code among us. But interspersed in all this living I also maintain my little offgrid solar system, improve my rainwater system, work on home security as I see fit and a dozen other things that benefit me now and may become essentials if the wheels fall off as so many of these speakers on youtube allude to.

My mother used to talk about the two types of people, those that talk the talk and those that walk the walk. I spend more time talking (like I am here now) than I do reading stuff because it's all pretty much known what we need to do. We just need to do it mate. Get out there and do it. Never under estimate the value of writing long posts. They help you get it fixed in your head what you are doing and why. It's mental exercise, mostly lost now in this age of texting and TV addiction.

Lucky,

I find listening to cert a in people educational. I find that they come upbwith new ideas and concepts.

If all I do is talk and write then I miss a great number of opportunities to increase my understanding.

But back on topic, I suggested this gentleman because he is doing some risk analysis. And he is coming up with risks I was not aware of.

And this is related to the death of cities, suburbia, and culture in general.

Do you wish to discuss this topic?

[Shaved Monkey]

Cities predominantly evolved because of a centralised access point for jobs.
With AI about to wipe every white collar job out and most blue collar jobs via AI and automation...you would have to think the cities of the future will be less useful.
Small rural areas probably dont have as much negative upheaval re loss of jobs and a lot more upside through online AI assisted healthcare and other services
UBI could still fix most thing but there will need to be a tax overhaul that isnt reliant on people but corporations to fund it.
You then need to keep the idle people happy, some will find productive hobbies some will have too much time on their hands.

Hopefully we could adopt some things that the Japanese do well like micro specialisation and striving for perfection in every day tasks...be that gardens, crafts or cooking.

Certainly newfie, but can you post something other than lengthy videos? Most people won't even bother with such if it goes against their grain, or the presenter is offensive to them in some way, that's just human nature. I at least try to have a listen, but not for FOUR hours. If I missed the points you mention it's because I wasn't prepared to listen that long.

May I suggest that you summarize these points you want to discuss from your video, in your own words, or post a couple of paragraphs of text relating to it?

From what I have read, the cities were the focus of trade, that's why they are mostly situated on the coast and on important rivers and bays, anchorages. The goods came into them and were then distributed by cart and rail and finally truck across the nation. All this business needed lawyers and accountants and warehouses and whatnot, so many people were attracted to them. Then modern industrialization, factories grew up all around them.

What's left of all that? The factories are far from the cities now, way way out past the outer suburbs. If they exist at all! Cities morphed into real estate sales engines and their CBD's into... What? Queensland's capital Brisbane was once a thriving CBD but it's shops are half empty now. Covid, sure, but that's over and the shops never came back.

The CBD has also morphed from commerical/business into residential. 90% and more of all the Hi-rise built in the past few decades is all apartment towers. Do they all work in the city? No. Even the major port facilities have moved far away from many city centers now. The towers used to be for banks, hotels, and all manner of business but that's all going as you say. Cities as we have know them are certainly becoming redundant. Probably 3/4 of the buildings in them could be leveled.

I have carrying list; of my own. In brevity…
1: Over population, it is not just we have too many people, their ambitions for a “modern life” will further bankrupt our resource budget.
2: Emergent diseases, Covid ain’t nothing compared to what could come. All it has to do is wipe out any one major food source, wheat, rice, etc.
3: AI, obviously
4: Climate change
5: Hydrocarbon eating bacteria
6: Humanities hyper focus on short term threats

That is a short list, it could be quite a bit longer, and elements are interactive.

What I can not summarize is his process of thinking, his analytic method.

Well we don't need to worry about this thinking processes, if there is any merit in the content it will be verified elsewhere hey. A lot of those points are definitely issues for our cities going forward, unlike rural areas, cities are in a sense closed systems, Emergent diseases, AI in the sense of the ongoing loss of Bullshit jobs, climate change even, these are all exacerbated there.

Food is grown rural so rural people have first dibs, many of the jobs don't led themselves to AI out here, Covid was largely ignored in my community, even in the post office the girls didn't wear masks. As you know Sweden didn't lock down and did just fine. But in the city you are at the mercy of a strong police presence and the mass hysteria effect where, "6: Humanities hyper focus on short term threats" all work against the individual and they become deer in the headlights.

Now I know what follows isn't a popular opinion, because people assume they are important to the ruling elite and that the government will always do it's utmost to protect them, but the overpopulation issue is glaring and needs to be addressed and allowing many cities to collapse through starvation etc is a valid solution I am sure. It doesn't have to be malicious either, just let things continue a they are and it will happen naturally. One large CME or EMP that disables the transport and electrical infrastructure and you're there! No water no food, no air conditioning. So the cities are dead already, one way or another.

it is not just we have too many people, their ambitions for a “modern life” will further bankrupt our resource budget.

Quite true, but an unsolvable problem because the "Have's" will not give up anything for the have-nots and governments won't enforce it as they would lose their revenue. Homeless people don't pay tax! It would take a communist revolution with collectivization to accomplish the needed reduction in resource use and then no one would want to work so you have made it worse! The old Russian and Chinese models proved that.

The cities can't be saved, they may be prolonged, by some combination of methods, but in the end they are doomed without fossil fuels, and doomed with them if we had a lot more oil to burn than we do now. Climate change would seal their fate.

But back on topic, I suggested this gentleman because he is doing some risk analysis. And he is coming up with risks I was not aware of. And this is related to the death of cities, suburbia, and culture in general. Do you wish to discuss this topic?

Leaving the doomed cities behind we have suburbia, which in some respects will fare worse due to the population concentrations. If the power goes off and the trucks stop rolling to the CBD anyone living there knows they're dead, in the suburbs you'll have a false sense of security. Perhaps we can grow food in the backyard? Get water from a local creek? They will turn into warzones with neighbor pillaging neighbor. Culture, in general there, will be violent and animalistic. You only have to look at videos of the homeless encampments in say Florida, the carpet trail. Everyone is packing a knife, visibly, and they talk of getting their camps robbed all the time. But they all eat, free food is still available in the US. What happens when it's not?

You can call this the worst case scenario but what other case is there without oil? Without Diesel and a functioning electricity grid? I just watched a vid on the Lithium Battery fire on the I-15, the highway closed, for a day or so. Thousands of longHaul trucks banked up. That's the Food for the cities and their suburbs. As I alluded to earlier, the content of the 4-hour vid discusses the threats to the city as you say, as though perhaps they might be mitigated if certain action were taken, I don't see this as possible, not in the long run (20~50 years)

My town has 3000 people in it, there are more Heifers in a 5 mile radius around it. Chickens and goats, corn being grown, lots of carrots and other veggies. In a 30 minute drive up to the nearest large city/town I see enough dead kangaroos on the road to feed a family of four for a year! Food! It's the only resource that really matters aside from water and that's everywhere for free. So while the Guy in the vid concerns himself with the intricacies of threats to the city, I simply moved away and negated all the threats.

The only real threat out here is the city people themselves but I have confidence that the government itself will close the highways and byways rather than allow them to ravish the countryside and take the food those politicians and their friends want for themselves. They did that during covid at all border crossings, quite effectively. Look at the response to Katrina. Lock the dying city down.

300 years ago that would be impossible but today it's simple due to the distances involved to the food and the small number of choke points. Bridges over rivers, endless bushland where the average suburbanite would walk in a circle until they collapsed. Walk 100 km, swimming across rivers and negotiating endless backroads? Near impossible.

You won't find this discussed much because the people out here are few in number compared to the millions in the cities. All the talk therefore is what They will do to preserve their lavish lifestyles. But you live outside the city too don't you, so you know what I'm on about.

"Living In Third World": Armed Venezuelan Gang Members Roam Colorado Apartment Building

Far-left lawmakers in sanctuary city Denver welcomed tens of thousands of illegal aliens who invaded the US southern border under the Biden-Harris administration's watch. Now, the Denver suburb of Aurora is in turmoil as the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua roams the streets armed with rifles and pistols, transforming parts of the once peaceful metro area into a third-world-esque state.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/liv ... t-building

It's like Mexico, where the government has lost control. In any 1st world nation this sort of activity would be crushed, simply obliterated. This would never be allowed to thrive in Switzerland or Japan, or Australia for that matter. But every nation falls eventually and the secure West is unraveling at breakneck speed due to illegal immigration. A nation simply cannot allow illegal immigration of any sort if it hopes remain cohesive. Alas in the US the drift of Mexicans North the Golden Mountain has continued unabated for 100 years and more, filling the cities with gangs that operate with impunity now. Half of LA is a Ghetto I believe.

Denver was once a quiet city, not all that long ago either.

[AdamB]

Denver was once a quiet city, not all that long ago either.

Still is. The police recently put out the idea that Venezuelan gangs were taking things over. Locally we refer to them as "squeegee people" as they are populating stoplights washing windows. You can't find squeegees at local gas stations, they have been appropriated. They do a good job as well, I got caught by them a week or two back and despite shaking my head in the negative a nice Venezuelan lady did it anyway, and made me feel guilty.

I've been roaming on the dual sport each evening for a month or two now, have become curious as to the habits of the homeless locally. Where they sleep, where their presence can be seen, where they are but better hidden, call it a amateur data collection effort just for fun. I know where the food handouts are at night (NAPA auto parts parking lot) and when, the hotels where those with subsidized housing live, the places they throw their trash, etc etc.

Gives me an excuse to get out each night and roam around on the motorcycle if nothing else.

[theluckycountry]

In Sweden and Germany both governments have admitted their mistake, In Sweden it was the former Prime minister who admitted her error. She, along with her progressive all woman cabinet allowed the nation to be overrun with Muslim immigrants.

Our nations are built on lies. Women are equal to men is a good lie, there is nothing equal about the two sexes at all! Most women think with their hearts not their heads, they are typically hopeless when it comes to purchases beyond the household pantry, and even there they are a prey to any company that spins a good story. When the Sugar companies went on an advertising rampage in the 1960's a whole generation of women filled their children with the processed crap because "Doctor's say" children need lots of energy and sugar...

In the last few decades it's been houses and cars, major purchases that should be done with rational forethought. But women often have an inordinate say in these and end up buying "Pretty" houses and "dream" cars. The amount of money wasted in last couple of decades by women doing "Makeovers" inside old houses is legend. Following each other in a fashion herd to see how many hand basins and ceiling lights they can fit into a bathroom. How many walls they can knock out to have an Open Plan home, just like they saw in the magazine or on the TV show. Meanwhile they save by having plastic water pipes fitted and cheap particle board walls and furniture installed. The whole Ikea thing, they go into the stores and see pretty furniture and ignore the fact that it's made of absolute garbage and will fall apart in a few years. The level of ignorance is astonishing!

But lets face it, the World is running out of Quality timber and copper for pipes etc so someone has to buy this junk I suppose. I bought a very un-trendy 50 year old brick home with copper piping and a solid hardwood upper floor suspended on several steel posts and two Huge BHP I-Beams that run the full length. They don't do that now, now people pay half as much again for a home built with a particleboard floor and suspended by dozens and dozens of steel posts. So many that you could even setup a pool table between them. But Women care nothing for any of this and in most modern relationships "they" are the ones making these important decisions I have found.

A trend I see here is that young men when buying a first car tend to go economical, the young women prefer bigger SUV or trucks. It's all part of being assertive, and the young ones believe they are safer in them. Perhaps? But having good driving skills, being able to keep a cool head saves a lot more lives than having a heavier car. Go on YouTube or Kaotic or any site that shows car accidents and you'll hear the women screaming their heads off even when they are Not in the accident. They lose it! They basically can't cope. They are not all terrible drivers but they are not Equal to the average man who is more aggressive and can tend to still be able to think when disaster strikes. Women often just close their eyes and grip the wheel.

Women in politics, too tender hearted to say no to hundreds of thousands of young men desperate to enter their nations. "They can't be all bad?" "There are only a few bad eggs" Then the immigrants collect into Ghettos and you end up with little Somalias, Little Nicaraguas and the knives and guns come out. The only thing that kept them under control in their homelands were hard-line authoritarian governments, in the west they can do as they please and they know it. Look at El Salvador, it had the highest murder rate on the Planet until the new president basically jailed every suspected gang member, now it has one of the lowest.

And what does the Western Press say? "Their children are paying the consequences" Boo Hoo, cry cry for the little children. Well these are not "Little Children" They are teenagers, many of whom had committed murder. A lot more little children will get to live and have decent lives now that these animals have been incarcerated. But they didn't catch all the gang members, thousands fled north, to the United States of America. Where the government will pay them to murder... Just like the Venezuelans in the article above.

You're a middle aged White American? Most on this site are. Well guess what, it's your problem now. You get to spend your Golden Years looking over your shoulder. These predators are rife in all your cities and it will only get worse. But Remember! You have to do what your tolds, an feel sorry for them, it's not there fault! They grew up in a Bad country, they neva dun nuffin wrong, they jus poor lil boys.

Our nations are built on lies.

Nearly every major nation is built on lies.
These are known as founding myths.
In Europe these are often referring to Dark Ages. King Arthur of England with his Excalibur sword and Lady of the Lake is a good example.
Poland has another story, France another etc.
And Russians too!
Romans had much older founding myth/lie (Romulus & Remus brothers). China as well and so on.

NATIONS ARE BUILT ON LIES but as time pass they are becoming to be real entities.

Women done this, women done that, women are useless, tedious, destructive and stupid - EU

Woman will only do what she is licensed to do by a man.
What you observe is a failure of Western MAN who is now usually a type of ignorant, beta-type childish coward with no moral values, will power nor resolve.
Recently we had a holidaymaker, man in his 30-thies, who was blubbering in front of his GF that "he would faint if forced to kill a fish".
So for a time being women have gone out of their box.
Perhaps those MIGRANT men will stuff them back to their box where they belong again but society as a whole is going to pay a very heavy price for this misguided experiment we observe.

Well, the 20th century was the century of America. And while there are lies, and liars, Europe is free not because penal colony descendants canoed there to free it, but Americans did. And made sure that penal colony descendants themselves weren't enslaved by their Asian neighbors as well....those penal colony descendants not able to made modern weaponry in the 1940's any better than they can today. Those pesky aircraft...so complex.... (I know, 121 years after Americans invented them they STILL haven't figured it out, how silly is that?).

You are welcome. Not "you" meaning neo-nazi remnants and their Australian wanna be's, but Australia in general. I've found their citizens to be quite reasonable, intelligent and fun to be around. There were no neo-nazis in the scientists from CSIRO I've met though...I think. And of course they were all well educated. I've never met the Australian backwoods mossy toothed high school drop out West Virginia equivalent...well...except for the likes of you anyway.

Not sure what a "cuck" is in American, but my Nissan leaf is certainly the wife's car, and she is indeed a girl. On an unrelated topic, just collected the new aftermarket seat and windshield for the dual-sport, ready to install them after work and check out how it works on the motorscicle!

You know what the problem is adam, you're a frog in a pot of hot water and you don't realize the danger you are in. The smart ones who chose to remain in the US went and bought secure properties out in the redoubt states, they were laughed at 10 years ago for doing it but now, with Boulder of all places being infiltrated by violent refugee gangs, they don't look so silly do they.

What do you do at night there, bolt your doors and hide inside? I go cycling at night, and early morning, right through the middle of town and out into the countryside following the river road here. No homeless camps, no drug addicts, just peace and quiet and the odd car passing.

You might like to think that the Woke police force would step in and squash this takeover but we all know they are hamstrung by the BLM business and are themselves afraid of going to jail for shooting someone. At the current rate in 5 years American cities and many large towns will be overrun by criminal gangs. It will be their turf, like Mexico is now. You are SO Fucked.

This was two years ago when life was normal in Boulder:

How is nobody talking about the organized crime in boulder?

You would think that in a city that concerns itself with enforcing noise complaints, we would do something about the criminal organizations freely operating in boulder right now. But we have deemed the homeless to be above the law here. I’m not talking about the rampant illegal camping, or doing drugs in public, or littering in our creek, or shitting in the street. These are separate issues. What I’m referring to is the unchecked wave of bike theft that has literally reached an industrial scale. They have created a system where a dealer will exchange drugs for stolen bikes. This incentives any bum who needs a score to go pinch the nearest bike. These bikes are piled high in full view of the public (and police) to be stripped down and rebuilt in order to sell online. The police know about this, the city knows about this and yet they have done nothing to stop this massive operation. Right now, there are dozens of stolen bikes piled on the creek path right behind boulder public library(been there for at least a month), and I have witnessed bums rolling stolen bikes to this spot to exchange for drugs. I (and many many others) have had several bikes stolen over the last 5 years and all were locked in the general vicinity of the creek path, so it’s depressing to know that my bike helped a homeless person stay trapped at their life’s rock bottom.
