Yeah, you're right about the breeder timing..As for the breadline here, well I can tell you some stories of the hell they put you through over here where I am. City workers are the worst and act like the benefits I do get is coming out of their pockets or if I ask anything, it's like I am bothering them when it is their job. If you don't like your job, then quit! What rubs me more than anything is that they think the benefits I do get is suppose to be enough to survive on, food prices have gone up since but not the benefits. Or if my social security goes up by a few dollars, they swoop in like vultures and take most of it. Trust me if I could work I would, I am not one who tries to get over on the system.
have no fear of those kind of shitty judgements here hon, we are a lot more enlightened than your average stereotype
the vast majority of us, if not every single one of us needs a hand now and then, some have rich family, some use the welfare system, some only need it for a short time and some are long term ill...all of it is irrelivent as the underpinning infrastructure is totaly screwed anyway.
I have always thought thats its the ones that hold down a 50 hour week that are not quite right in the head...it takes a certain amount of erm 'roll over and die' to accept the programming, lol.
i bet you would do totally fine in a cave, hunting your own food and making your own clothes..the 'just enough' style of life.
i bet a lot of us would be happier if just given the means and the skills to just self sustain.
i think the biggest crime ever to hit the human race is inflation. the ONLY real reason that your pile of savings is worth less every year is to force us to go out and be busy little drones that are too tired and busy to question the machine.
im on the sick right now, was on jobseekers not so long ago and was working before that, i feel no shame in any of those modes because i AM doing my best to reduce my footprint on others...just not the way conformists want me to.
but the sad fact is that if you are on a low budget, you can either bemoan your fate or adapt. and thats why i think hot composting and growing your own food is important to help your little bit of money go further.
and im sure we have some food farmers among us on this site that may live close, seed
donations and seed swapping is a massive gardening culture all of its own. if you can find anyone or anywhere that can get you free seeds, dont be too proud.
you can more than pay back any percieved debt when your crops make seeds and you
donate to the next guy.
hell, next time you have a tomato or strawberry or well any seeder in your food, just pick out a few of the seeds...you never know!
