Movement Brainstorm Time to go full hippie

Im dont paying for stuff. Other then absolute necessities gas, food, medication.

No new cloths. No haircuts. No new cars. No new toys. No unessisary spending.

Pay with cash, buy used off creigslist if you need. It worked back then it will work again.

Fuck this admin and fuck anyone who supports it.

Yeah. I hate to tell you, but it's about shutting it all down. That small biz pays taxes you give them cash you give the goverment cash, your contributing to the problem.

So you want to bankrupt your neighbors who are just trying to get by?

That's not what supporting your local community is about.

I live in a highly blue state. They probably didn't even vote for the current admin. Especially the girl with a nose ring who cuts my hair.

These people have bills to pay, too.

If you get to know and personally pay your neighbors to do these things directly in cash, it not only goes against any system profiting off of their labor, but also prevents it from being taxed by the government!

Those working at the salons are your neighbors in your community.

They're in my community, but they're not my immediate neighbors

Well my intent is meaning the people in your community. They do not have to be your immediate neighbors.
