rates of soil carbon accumulation, though that lies outside of the scope of this article. The Kernza domestication program was launched in 2002 and has reached about 1/3 the yield of wheat in comparative trials (DeHaan et al., 2018; Cassman and Connor, 2022

1/3 the yield of current modern wheat is already at the level of preindustrial wheat yields so as a post apocalyptic crop this creates a beneficial artifact from the modern era.

people started working on this in the 1960s though most failed there were major lessons to be learned about it. It is very much the time to start building parallel institutions. the transition towns movement the FEC and FIC federation of communes people have been haphazardly lurching towards these things . worker owned and co-ops of the past and even lodge societies like the oddfellows have built humanistic social instituions that have been mostly ignored by mainstream society.

Im working on things with some other people right now. what country are you in ? how old and do you have any skills?

Money is more than banknotes and coins. If you have a bank account, you can use what’s in it to buy things, typically with a debit card. Because you can buy things with your bank account, we think of this as money even though it’s not cash. Therefore, if you borrow £100 from the bank, and it credits your account with the amount, ‘new money’ has been created. It didn’t exist until it was credited to your account. This also means as you pay off the loan, the electronic money your bank created is ‘deleted’ — it no longer exists. You haven’t got richer or poorer. You might have less money in your bank account but your debts have gone down too. So essentially, banks create money, not wealth. Banks create around 80% of money in the economy as electronic deposits in this way. In comparison, banknotes and coins only make up 3%.”

this is missing the much bigger more important macro picture right now which is we entered a fiscal dominance. Now regardless of monetary credit expansion from banks poofing money into existence, government outlays are being printed and its in a runaway . This source of inflation would run even if interest rates were 20%. in fact high interest rates are paying bond holders from printed money which is inflationary. A lot of people havent noticed this phase change. its one of the reasons golds going crazy right now, along with the dying of the dollar as reserve currency .

USA is backed itself into corner . austerity is politically unacceptable and the only path forward is inflating away nominal debt.

Im glad i planned for this because i would be epically more fucked if i hadnt.

Land prices are out of control too, used to be major regional differences but thats mostly been arbitraged out and now even places in oklahoma and arkansas are overpriced. People listing good farmland has slowed so much, they just hold it now.

Do the jails even have enough spare capacity?

seriously doubt it , jails across the usa are pretty maxed out , they ship people around quite far distances to less occupied jails in areas that dont have as much volume.

There are no rumors of camps, or are they?

if you mean like concentration camps i haven't heard anything like that other than the long persisting comspriacies . Ive heard they shipped all the homeless to other states but thats bullshit because they say that in every single state and they all blame other states.

the only thing ive heard thats credible is that the west coast weed industry breaking down means the influx of "wooks" and the weed money that supported them is gone so they all went back to wherever they came from. but there is still a huge deficit even accounting for that.

when i said in the previous comment " they just disperse the population to other areas or diffuse them" i meant withing the city where they just move around and normally recoalesce in encampments again which hasnt happened.

There has been some major sweeps of homeless populations after Johnson v. Grants Pass on the west coast to the point that entire villages worth of people have disappeared and i have no idea where they have gone because i was in texas when they swept them. im talking thousands of people per city just missing in multiple cities. i looked around from santacruz up to eugene oregon.

Normally when sweeps happen they just disperse the population to other areas or diffuse them , this time they are just straight up missing, nobody i talk to seems to know what happened to them. Even accounting for the known new housing things like tiny home village or parking lots car owning homeless can park it doesnt get remotely close to accounting for the people missing.

entire mini Lagos-slums and TrumpBidenville encampments taking up many acres , gone.

i dont see them dispersed in sufficient numbers either , maybe 1/10th.

I have no real answer to this mystery. its sus af tho, are they all in jail?
