>They'll slander you for studying underwater basket weaving
Which is funny because Boomers USED to tell everyone "Get a degree, they don't care if it's underwater basket weaving, they just want to see that you can do the required work long term, and follow through"
No shit.. I had at least 4 different Boomers tell me this in '95.

The truth is, you can never win by playing the game they set up.
That doesn't mean give up on life, just go play another game where the players all agree to play fair. Even if you have to make the game yourself.
>But you'll NEVER get away from taxes!! Especially on land and houses!1!!
There are viable work-arounds for that, but they take some work, and you'll HAVE to allow for SOME bleedover with currency.

Like many, I just hope the collapse comes soon. I will fare FAR better when this absurd FAKE munny game ends and the people who actually have merit and skills cease to be perpetually stolen from.
But don't depend on that, there have been tons of nooooticers who thought TEOTWAWKI was next year, since the 70s(when it should have started,) and died without ever having to use any of their dusty suvival gear.
It's a far better thing to quietly build up communities that HELP each other and have the skills to do most everything without outside help.
