Is it time to consider implementing a Ghurka contingent in order to avoid false claims of racism as it had been done in Singapore?

You might be an anarchist if you water heater conspires with other water heaters to save you money.



Meanwhile, in the state of Oregon, Clatsop county will vote on becoming a 2A sanctuary county in November*, while the mayor of Portland is saying that the Feds [not] being there is causing violence and they need to stop. Begging for the Insurrection Act.

And then he goes home and Antifa/BLM are occupying his street/lobby and his neighbors are pelting the rioters from their balconies.

I was in a Walgreens today and the clerk said he could be fired if he insisted a customer wear a mask. I haven't heard any more about closing the border.

You are an anarchist if you produce you're and armed citizen who is capable of generating your own power, have a well, grow your own food/livestock, burn firewood and trash for heat.
For regular people all you have to do to control them is turn off their electricity, think California. Take their food, any communist regime or midevil monarchy. Take their water, like war lords in Africa dumping diesel fuel down the village well. Take their home heating like during the oil embargo, energy crisis, or the sky rocking natural gas prices in 2008.

Druther live in a bubble/pod that has synthetic photosynthesis for fuel and protein powder, with drinking water from the Tesla HVAC and an Arcimoto FUV to go to the food coop.

Not posting pics of what I may or may not have, but I think a basic tiny house home defense consists in a Bond Arms Derringer chambered in .410 and a Ruger 10/22 pistol.

The length of a tiny house is about the recommended range a bond arms 410.

Meaning people will be free to worship in their sanctuaries regardless of unconstitutional banning of gatherings?

What amazes me the most is that the far left undermines every single agenda they ostensibly support, and even a bumbling right only has to do nothing for it to fall in on itself.

Thanks to the Corona virus, the wealthy have realized they don't need to live in cities to earn their wealth. They will exit, bringing their money with them, and cities en mass will deteriorate like Detroit. They will become the places you live if you can't afford to live anywhere else.

Agreed. It's about over-penetration of your neighbor's tiny house.

For a rural tiny house, maybe a Mini-14 with it's center-fire shouldered cartridge.

All it does is prevent the County expending resources to enforce laws that overstep the Constitution. I don't think it affects personal movement.

But because patents can take years to come to fruition as legitimate products or services—if at all, because the intellectual property sometimes never sees the light of day—this technology certainly won't be used in the 2020 election. And, because the patent application is provisional, there's always the chance the USPTO may not grant the patent at all.
Pop Mechanics thinks things will move too slowly. Are they right?

The mini14 was fine, no one wanted an m16 pattern rifle until the government tried to take them away.
