I keep reading comments along these lines (and it’s very rational!) Less talk, more action!
This is one thing I just did, and maybe it will inspire you.
I created a new facebook group (because most people still congregate there) called _______ County, _______ Skills Swap
I want to invite all individuals, families, groups, etc within and around ________ County, _________, to begin to think about skills they have that could benefit others if the supplies run out, if the electricity gets shut off, if the water gets turned off, etc. As a founded community of self-sustenance, let’s turn these wisdoms into a great pool for all to draw from – the ones who have no idea how to grow food may know very well how to heal a body or to put out a fire, etc. Everyone, if they really dig down deep and consider, has something they can share to make us all stronger and less vulnerable.
We all feel that bad times are coming (or at least that things are “off”) so I’m asking for us to not wait until the truly bad is upon us, but to act now.
We can:
- Get to know each other
- Share skills, trades, knowledge, wisdom and all that those things entail
- Build strong community networks that can stand against hard times
- Work together as human beings and ignore the constructed divides that make neighbors strangers – this is a newer phenomenon, now that we all rely on big businesses to meet our needs and not on those we live amongst. Let’s cease that construct.
This area does community charity like none I’ve witnessed so far (maybe it’s just online, so I see it more easily) but I’d like for us all to start to think along the lines of returning to a trade/barter system. When you have to bow in order to buy or sell (or even to work or travel) then it may be very welcome for those who refuse to have a haven where they may still live and enjoy community and sharing and hope.
Please feel free to begin sharing any thoughts, concerns, ideas you may have. At some point, if enough show interest, I will look for a venue to host in-person events. Think (local city) Plant Swap, but for all the lovely, exotic, wonderful, helpful people we know we live amongst.
Be very well, very blessed, and hope to hear from you all soon!
Good idea! I’m always collecting barter items and survival gear. Have to create a Facebook page though, haven’t been on there since getting banned a couple years ago haha
Yeah, I’m almost never on there but most people are, so go where the people hang out, no?
It’s has a very good infrastructure for groups. I’ve had very successful groups on there a few years ago,mainly meme groups directed to the woke idiots so got banned plenty of times. This last time though I chose not to go back as I would build it up for nothing…I don’t think they will ban a group like the one you’re doing so it should be good.
That’s good news as I have *no clue* how to run a page and am hoping someone will get inspired and take it over! lol. But if not, I will learn! Too many ideas for one body!
This is a gutsy idea / post that did get me thinking. But like delete I dumped fb – 3 years ago. There was a few reasons but a big one is all the mal/spyware, cookies, and downloads fill up your device.
I love your inspiration!!
I will be intrigued to see any rationales in which FB attempts to ban or censor this concept. I’m thinking it will initially be blanket-labeled as “misinformation intended to spread fear” but I will counter that, as I am clearly not spreading fear in any way. The opposite.
I personnaly hate FB, i see it as lucifers den, I left it many years ago.
In FB once your group reaches a popularity threshold, if the content is interesting, then FB moderators will literally take control over the group, and please do not think you can beat them in their world, they don’t care about any rational, they can do whatever they want, just read the terms and conditions.
There are many good alternatives, What about reddit? Gab?
Any platform you like is fine, but recall that on some you may be a bit more “preaching to the choir” in your deeper intent with this.
Any people you can bring together in this manner is good, imo.
The point of this is more a local, tangible trade as all travel, even within countries and States, perhaps even counties, is going to be restricted again very soon to those who will not comply.
I see going on FB for this similarly to Yeshua sitting with the people considered the “dregs” of society – just go sit right down amongst them and shine. Things are bound to happen when you do.
Beware of the possible infiltrated persons.
Why should I keep my head hidden because of them?
They’d do better to beware me.
Talking about that, someone has an idea where I can show my research work? Is concise.
Post it wherever you feel lead to. Post it here, if you like. I am always interested to learn from others’ thoughts.
Here is my investigation work, if anyone is interested in: https://ufile.io/3sx94vr0
