WHY is Everything SO MUCH WORSE Than Before? 

I was involved in getting rent control passed in Beverly Hills, but we made sure to structure it so that landlords could recoup the cost of renovation--the idea was to stabilize the city, where a majority are renters, not freeze rent in perpetuity. We limited rent increases aside from renovation to the CPI plus two percent, but most landlords own their buildings free and clear, so no mortgage costs, and they're all able to make a decent profit. The one thing we weren't successful in doing is passing a vacancy tax--the dirty secret of Beverly Hills is that its real estate market is used to launder billions every year, and can't have that going away. What about a foreign owners surtax? If you're not an American citizen and you want to buy US property, you pay a premium for the privilege. I'd be down for that.

Crony Capitalism. It even has an impact on the red states. It's a result of a system that is successful at placing blindfolds on its citizens who end up advocating agains their own self-interest.

I will not work unless I get a minimum of $100 per hour PERIOD

Its not going to get better, since we allowing the invasion of our country. You let in the crappiest people, you get crap.

Chickens, fowl, hens, geese and the birds you just pointed to all eat ticks. Its a great way to keep your lawn/area tick free by having them around. Keeping water fountains or ponds near your home or condo is great way to attract them AND keep ticks down to zero lol

I understand that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is hard for me now because I have no idea of how and where to invest in. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.?

I invest across the top markets but not by myself though. I follow the guidelines of ROCH DUNGCA-SCHREIBER. you might have heard of her. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as an investment advisor as her diversification skills is top-notch, I say this because I see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 20 to 3O% every month, unlike I can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along. my portfolio just mirrors what she places and not just on some particular industries of my choosing. she gave me that financial freedom I needed

look her up on the internet with her name. she's quite popular for her services as she was recently featured on CNN. She can work with anyone irrespective of where you're located>

My pleasure! Felt good to get it out!

Only part I would disagree with the above statement is that inflation is just a tiny piece of whole story. I moved to US (NYC) in 95. Things were cheaper and more affordable back then. And since mid 2000s in my opinion federal government has been so much pro big business that small business had to gradually cut costs and quality and here we are. Cost of education is through the roof, opening small business and running it successfully has become much harder and it reflects directly on people's attitudes and overall culture.

You mean a 3rd World Nation. It takes two missiles to shoot a balloon?

The currency is devalued which causes the prices to go up. Our currency is fiat, it’s manufactured into existence by an unconstitutional, central bank (Not Congress) and by our commercial banks working within the fractional reserve system (Debt). It’s controlled, it’s planned, and it’s bipartisan.

@@inertiaspinner555 There is no longer a "fractional reserve" requirement in the banking system.

Yup!

Exactly. I've been saying the same for ages. There is no joy in life anymore, only stress and mountains of BS to deal with. Having a laugh and a carefree good time seems like a thing of the past.

So true

COVID didn’t change anything. The government policies changed everything for the worse

Exactly.

It's crazy. I was talking to someone today about this exact same thing. Life just definitely isn't what it used to be

Exactly

100 % inflation , crime - everything that matters.

Many many of us feel that way. For example, the times we live in where free speech is curtailed tantamount to having to stand in the corner in primary school. I just received a second warning from RU-vid for cyberbullying? what? This is as dangerous as anything.

Same for me, after the pandemic I became more isolated than ever.

They dont allow children to play nor art or music in the schools. Dont know what we pay school taxes for?

You're right Tony at least folks like yourself got to experience the "good times" when they were here to be had

Rigged elections have consequences.

If you voted democrat, you caused a lot of it yourself. And yes, Trump locked us down as well. None of the political parties are very good right now, but under Brandon we are now in WW3 with Russia, mandates, and skyrocketing inflation. I'm convinced those in power are trying to run the country into the ground

Oh Steve…same here. I’ve never felt so unsure of life in my entire life as I do now & we surely had our share of some hard times.

@@lindylou3519 I agree with everyone, world is going all a way to the unknown territory, prices up, service down, greedy politicians, chaos, misery and desperation.

Yup!

I agree with you.

That’s how I feel. Been wanting to book a cruise but it just seems like a major hassle, just to be trapped on the ship for days. I wish I could get my excitement back about traveling. I just enjoy being home now. Maybe it’s God protecting us from injury. Last year I took a quick vacay from GA to FL, had the rental car tires collapse on me in the middle of god knows where. On a Sunday when many places were closed. It was a nightmare trip, I should’ve just left the car there & got on a train back to GA. Enterprise is HORRIFIC. I made them reimburse me for my entire trip, hotel, gas, everything. So, with service like that, who’d want to be bothered traveling? I pray my next vacation is more enjoyable.

@@realestatebykemi sorry you went through that

That is awesome! Wish I could do the same

​@@simonbagel I only grow some stuff now. Have for a few years and had chickens maybe 5 years ago. But honestly a garden and chickens isn't to hard. I had never done it before and after 2 years I had it down pretty well with a little help from RU-vid. Plus it's very rewarding eating food that you have grown not to mention the nutritional benefits!

It needs to get a lot worse before anything will change.

I agree. The "they" has been allowed to become filthy rich. The only incentive to survive is if you are wealthy. Nothing is fun anymore-everything breaks.

Haha I appreciate that!

Amen!

Glad you got out of LA. My brothers lived there working in the film industry before the writers strike. It was insane on multiple levels. I hear you about wanting to live in a place with a slower pace of life. My wife and I have been planning on moving to Sarasota, FL for years. It was always such a nice atmosphere. The last couple years though things have changed. Traffic is crazy compared to what it was a few years ago. Over all hustle and bustle is way up. Prop taxes and insurance way up. Lots of woke businesses and woke people. We are now looking at other areas.

@@overbuiltlimited I don't regret living in California. In many ways, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. But comes a time in your life when you just can't take all the jostling and noise. The film and tv industry does distort LA in many ways, some of them good (I never had an ugly waitress in my entire time there--every aspiring actress does that as their side hustle, although now I understand many are turning into OF girls). I decided to retire not because of the pandemic, but because when I did go to a store after the lockdowns were lifted, I saw thieves loading up grocery carts to overflowing and just rolling them out of the store while the employees watched. They told me they'd be fired if they tried to stop the thieves. Try that in Kansas and you'll get your ass kicked.

Wow sounds like you're lucky to be alive! I'm gonna buy one of those electric scooters soon to use on these heavy traffic days and I can just use the boardwalk instead of the street

What is going on!!

People are dropping like flies because of the mystery oil

You look at longtime employees, who once were *invested* in their vocation, had that ethic passed down and down and down over generations of cycling workers ... suddenly saying "fuck this!" ... and then the next set of replacements in 2020-2023 has to deal with all this crap from businesses already on the way down, where survival rather than people is the only priority, and with decades of mentorship completely evaporated and lost. It's a 'new' world, people. One that only long years of hard times will take to make the next set of 'good men'.

As a trucker I see 4 wheelers and even a lot of other truckers take their 'rants' out on the road! Insanity.

Ditto!! Glad I lived thru the 70's to 90's - it was a great ride!

You are lucky!!

yea the 80's was awesome

I also feel sorry for young people today.

@@jagsfanrick Yep. The kids in my family don't understand how awesome it really was back then - pre cell phones, instagram all this crap now..... It was cheesy, but it was SO great!! Never a second thought to going to school, a store, a theater and feeling anxious like you could be in another headline - let's put it that way.

But... do you know what there isn't a shortage of? Crooked, opportunistic politicians and lawyers ready to sue the crap out of businesses and people for the most minute thing. A lot of professionals are leaving their careers/jobs because the risk/reward balance is no longer there. Too much risk for very little reward. This is also true of many professionals in healthcare.

I tried getting VFR flight following on Sept 11 last year, after departing Augusta ME. No response. They were short staffed. I could hear both the controller and the other planes. Very busy. On my trip there and to MSV back in August I got no response to close my flight following. I called up on clearance delivery to make sure I was out of the system. This is not supposed to happen. You are not taught that there is a need to do this during training. I have given up talking to flight service these days. Just use Foreflight.

We had to wait an hour on a plane this past weekend just for it to be able to pull up to the terminal so we could exit. The pilot couldn’t get ahold of anyone to give us an update-he said all hands must be on deck and that they were short staffed.

Yes!! The more people that refuse to pay for ridiculous items / services that suck the faster they'll go under

That absolutely is a big part of it

Good thought

Yeah, but before the pandemic, everything was fine. It's not the population that is the problem, but the politicians intentionally driving the country into the ground.

There are not too many people on Earth. Neither is it the case that there are too few resources. If people would be content with what they actually need--as opposed to what they think that they need--and if the political-economic system was organized into Contributionism communities, everyone would have what they needed, money would be eliminated, and people would be free do what makes them happy to do.

At least, that's what they tell us. We really have no way of knowing do we? I sure as hell have no means of verifying their numbers. Do you? Have you ever wondered how they arrive at these figures? They always state them with absolute certainty but it's hard to see how they could possibly be so sure - outside of the developed nations, a lot of places do not have a population census and many don't even keep reliable records of births and deaths, don't have any kind of voter registration etc. Just as with everything else, one should remain skeptical when "authority" tells you anything with absolute certainty. The overpopulation claims form a core part of the Agenda 21/Agenda 2030 narrative - they use it in the same way they use their absurd "climate change" nonsense - the two combined are used to justify their evil - the concept that billions of humans must die to "save the planet" and, as I'm sure you've noticed, they push both messages relentlessly. They want a world population of 500-750M - these are their own published figures. By their own admission they want billions dead and gone - convincing you that there are too many of us is a no brainer for them. If we don't reproduce, it's just another tool of theirs to control populations, to reduce them. There are many published documents out there where these eugenicists openly state their ideas, goals and suggested methodologies regarding this subject. I'm sure, for example, you've seen Bill Gates famously crowing about reducing the world's population, making specific mention of v***ines - he should know, many third world nations have suffered at his hands, used as experimental fodder for his evil, poisoned, sterilized, murdered, all under the guise of medical philanthropy. These people are very real, very powerful and extremely evil - ultimately, the only thing they care about as far as our planet is concerned, is stealing and controlling all of its resources and solely for their own benefit. We are in their way and this is why they want the majority of us removed from the equation. Considering that statistics tell us that most western industrialized nations are not even reproducing at replacement rate and haven't been for some time, one has to wonder just where all these new human beings are coming from. Apparently third world nations are contributing more new lives than others, but even so, I struggle to believe that they can be responsible for this claimed population explosion - I mean, they seem to add another billion to the number almost on a yearly basis nowadays. Japan is already feeling and suffering from the consequences of their low birth rates over the past few decades, a situation described as a crisis, and even the Chinese are facing issues with population decline and their young people not wanting children anymore and it's going to be the same for many countries going forward. Whatever the true number might be, the world's population is actually in decline and the globalists are doing their best to ensure their depopulation goals are met - they don't much care how they do it. For them, scaring people into believing the overpopulation myth is one of their less murderous methods. If you want to learn more about the topic, a quick search for something like "the overpopulation lie" or the "overpopulation myth" should net you some interesting videos and articles. It's easy to think that there are too many people, especially when powerful forces promote the idea constantly and particularly when they use visuals intended to deliberately reinforce the claims. They don't show you pictures of vast empty plains or prairies when they are pushing the overpopulation message - it's always crowded subway stations, or crowds of people thronging the streets in some major city during the rush hour. It's also easy to believe if you live in a major urban centre, a big city, where conditions are overcrowded and constantly hectic and busy. The reality is that much of the world is still relatively empty and we are not at all short of space. Resources are of course something else entirely but a lot of the claims they make regarding oil, gas, metals and food can never really be trusted either. A lot of what we are told is served up for many reasons and one of the big ones is control.

I was thinking of moving to South America as well. What countries would be a good spot to look at? Note - I only speak English, but will learn another if needed.

@Pura Vida, we were just in Costa Rica. Loved our resort at Manuel Antonio. The people were nice. But I don’t know if I could live there. I found all the fences and barbed wire around everything a little off putting. Is all of Central and South America like that? Uruguay intrigues me. What say ye?

I think it's nationwide. You might have less of this in the Midwest but ultimately it will catch up everywhere. Watch Dr Zhivago, the 1965 version with Omar Sharif. Its about how the Soviet revolution took over Russia step by step. He also found his hideout in Siberia but not long.

@@gabesimmonds8421 i totally agree , I think nomadic style of life is becoming more common

For many the pandemic was a wake up call. For those who worked in service (myself being one of them for nearly 20 years), you learned rather quickly that you were disposable and that all the hard work and effort you put in over the years was just a commodity (longest day I worked was 27hrs of which I was paid for only 18). I left retail almost a year ago and will never go back. Customers also got significantly worse after the pandemic too. I would rather work for myself and struggle with the uncertainty of self employment then be exploited by a massive corporation that doesn't give two F's. Retailers are also obsessed with perpetual, double digit growth which puts a huge squeeze on funding at store level. I guarantee that there's labour shortage issues but a lot of what you're seeing is cut backs to payroll to save on controllable's to improve the corporations bottom line. Over the 20 years I worked in retail, I saw labour hours for our stores go down every year, little by little so that we had less and less hours to give to staff with the expectation that we streamline and find efficiencies. Same with a drop in quality, which at the retailer I was working at, had begun long before the pandemic. Non-viable Neoliberal business practices coupled with pandemic upheaval are telling us that these business practices are no longer sustainable. The pandemic played it's part in showing us the great weaknesses and faults in our existing system, now it's time to find a new way... what that is, I couldn't tell you.

Most companies we grew up with have been swallowed into a big consortium. No more competition just one big anti capitalism garbage heap.

The only reason I didn't bring that one up is because I haven't flown anywhere since the lockdowns

@Michael Bordenaro gotcha 👌

The oligarchy doesn't WANT us traveling. Research Agenda 21, Agenda 2030. In the future cars will be illegal except for emergency and police. They are putting up smart technology stack n packs, near rails. It's a sick future looming. Or should I say sickER.

Most people are herd animals. They go where the rest of the herd goes. Everybody is going to Florida these days supposedly, everybody. Who wants to go to a place where everyone else is going. Take a different tack as you did. Unfortunately for you, many of the posters on this site will now rush to southern Indiana and quickly turn it into Florida. You will then be forced to move to Western North Dakota. Don't tell anyone about it though or the flock will arrive and destroy that too.

Mind the fallout of NORFOLK SOUTHERN. Good for you. Florida has become a shadow of it's old self.

The older you are, the more likely you are to comment that things started to go bad earlier. For example prior to 2007 as you mention. I think if anything the Starbucksization of America is what's wrong with the country. 30 years ago you would have Joe's Gym to work out at now it is not a franchise with elevator music and mirrors everywhere. Businesses like Joe's Gym went out of business and never came back. For me it's the duality of corporate America hollowing out the interesting and charming main streets, even South Beach by the way back in the late 70s when I first started going there. Much better place. And the second Change I feel from my own experience is just the horrible technological changes that have occurred, social media in particular, cell phone staring all day long, particularly with millennial's getting worse and worse each generation. Thishas isolated everyone from each other and people began in the mid-90s starting to live in their own bubbles and entered into a technological biosphere where their entire world lives inside a 4 inch screen. No one meets anyone anymore. I'm old enough to remember pre-Internet for at least 15 years of my adult life and post Internet and I can tell you pre-Internet was 1000 times better. I saw Pink Floyd and AC/DC play in Miami in the early 80s and nary a cell phone to be had. People were engaged in the moment listening to the music. Today look at a concert if you even want to call them that, some awful autotune drivel, with every single audience member holding phones overhead filming themselves having a good time, but not actually having one.

@@edmundmcgrath213 Oh yes. You just touched on a whole lot extra of what used to be. I watched both of those groups, among many others, in concert in Melbourne Australia in the '80's, which was awesome, at a time somewhat before one of my companies required me to take the 'brick' and a CRT home overnight in a sportsbag for 'duty programming' responsibilities. My kid brother and I in the very late 70's travelled our home island of Tasmania in my car together with a *paper* map. An 'answering machine' was a bulky object attached to my landline phone that I consulted after I got home from work. I *met* people largely at my workplaces, and actually *never* had to go out and buy a gourmet coffee every day - it was just nescafe granules and boiled water and ordinary milk mixed before I took it to my desk. I was actually quite alone and lonely in 'the big smoke' for a long, long time - my 'experiences' were never like this virtual reality we talk in now - but the experiences I did have were *real,* such as one coworker inviting us to a couple day stay on their parents' peninsula farm, and another giving me some 'contract' moonlighting work at his budding side job. Childhood was about being out and about amongst nature and the land in a semi-rural and radically-different environment to what most kid's know today. I had no idea that in forty years I would be on the other side of the ocean, looking back through the sea of time, and contemplating what 'Americanization' and Globalization has done to most of us Westerners. I was just a boy, hopeful and optimistic for a future . . . I never had an idea that one day I would reviewing such a recent personal history of loss and tragedy and deprivation, and that my *only* fruitful means of connectivity would come from a decade and a half of a newly-developed skill of *writing,* borne out of an intense desire to understand and question and express all of that.
