    Wages and Unions - moved from: Things to do to keep feeling "normal" while living out of your van?

    "Yes there are people that put money over making our country better." You think? Well said. I don't care how pure of heart a homo sapien is; given too much money/power (they're one and the same), sooner than later, greed will start to raise its envious head, and once we've tasted the drug of...

    No, it's human nature; there wouldn't be any "isms" without it.

    They have those sweet benefits because we, the sheeple, allow it. We don't have to, but they took civics out of school.

    The "for whatever reason" is the grey area; everybody is different, and minimalist benefits are appropriate. One doesn't get the dream they didn't plan or pay for, but at the same time, society is better when folks, through no fault of their own, aren't living in the gutter. Centrally planned...

    Cliffs Notes version... You have "real" competition in a purely capitalistic system, not a regulatory bureaucracy benefiting those who write the rules. In actual capitalism with "unrestrained" competition, the consumer is in control and benefits significantly because the manufacturer or supplier...

    I disagree 100%! Else, why would everyone in the world be trying to get to America? In America, opportunity abounds if you are willing to roll up your shirt sleeves and work for it; there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to make a living, get a skill in demand. How many poor...

    Well, it could be worded better, but it becomes one when politics gets involved, which is opening another can of worms; we won't go there. I paid into my SS for a total of 33 years and took it early at 62 to care for my daughter, who has been brain-damaged by listeria meningitis since birth; she...

    How do u live on $700/month, truly?

    I imagine they have a big enough parking lot with areas set aside that wouldn't interfere with Sunday services. I think that when people/churches do, it doesn't last long for the very reasons mentioned. Good-hearted people often get taken advantage of because they believe everyone, given the...

    Hello

    Sell your present vehicle(s) and get a good used van; the bigger, the better. I lived in a super cab Ford pickup for over four months, and it was all I could stand. If that's not possible, @RvNaut mentioned a good tent, good being the keyword here; great would be better but get the best you can...

    Thousands travel out of Burning Man as desert turns to mud

    @tx2sturgis I had it on my bucket list too, and for the same reasons, but the rich folks took over and "gentrified" Burning Man.

    If I need to be TOWED to a mechanic?

    I have AAA Premium with 250 miles of free towing for $9.95/month, can't beat it with a stick. I have a 1994 Cherokee, a 2000 Grand Cherokee (my toad), and a 1988 Mallard C RV on the account. I've had to tow my 2000 GC once, a couple of flats, and gas over the years, and have called twice for the...

    For those with vehicles registered in Texas

    I had two; I had to weld a nut on to get them out. I had some new ones made from good steel and replaced the stock exhaust manifolds with a cast iron free-flow header type my brother found off of another big block; I'm not sure which engine, but I could ask. I had headers for a while, but...

    Inverter size and brand?

    I like Gaindel and have a 24volt 4000 watt unit that has served me well so far 2-years in. It runs off of a 24volt 400 ah battery bank. 2000 watts of solar for charging. Gaindel has a nice 2200 watt 12volt unit that's nice...

    For those with vehicles registered in Texas

    This is good news; one more government boot heal off our neck. I live in Harris County; wish I didn't, but I do. It's where I park my RV when not on the road. There is an economic advantage for me here. Anyhow, this is good news. All I've had to do with my 88 motor home and 96 Cherokee is...
