Whenever you hear the word "stakeholders" thrown about you should worry because the stake they are talking about is the kind stake which will be plunged into the heart of whatever freedoms and liberties we still possess. Similarly, when you hear "private-public partnership" think of an extra toll booth that private interest is placing on whatever was simply public with no toll booth. The Great Reset, Build Back Better, Safe and Effective, are just words meant to obscure the enslavement and death they are imposing on us. Words tend to resonate into reality. Criminals’ words will bring us death and destruction. It is time for us to carefully choose our own words which could resonate into a reality we desire for our grandchildren and beyond.

Agreed 100%!! I'm a steakholder: my steaks are walking around in the pasture right now.... No signs of bovine bird flu yet.... (We have sheep too as back-up when and if Big Brother Biden comes for our cows). Live free or die!!

It is worth noticing that the affordability of house ownership is also being attacked by other vectors. Insurance rates are skyrocketing in many jurisdictions. Increasing taxes work in a similar way. Our problem is that we see all these things in isolation instead of parts of a concerted effort to advance interest of the ruling criminal oligarchy. We cannot mount a meaningful defense to a war against us if we don’t even notice the war they are waging against us.

The problem is that government has no business in business -- it does not answer to profitability, efficiency, or equity. Vermont's government is a mafia racket run by elites with no business experience. Most aren't even Vermonters. But they are the Marie Antoniettes -- when the economy collapses, they will sit puzzled, then panic and starve. They have no clue what they are doing, and will perish quickly without the need of any guillotines.... The problem is that so many of those they exploit will go down with them.

They are servants of bigger oligarchical structures with better defined goals. Most of these puppets and servants are preselected from the bottom of the barrel of humanity. Their attractive qualities are that they are moronic, clueless, separated from reality, and compromised in ways that make them blackmailable. As you well know, what is happening in Vermont is also happening everywhere else in the West. That tells are these are goals of supranational interests.

Ben Harnwell has named them appropriately “ Psychopathic Overlords ” . Their greed, lies and wish to be treated as the ones , who know best, is leading us to a world that’s run a muck. Reality is a hard taskmaster and we are beginning to see how brutal it can be.

A horrible collapse is inevitable.

Dystopian nightmare. It will get far worse before what remains of our society climbs out of this hole.

My mother was a member of the ASID. Back then it was a good organization, and it’s members had to pass a ‘test’ that insured a certain level of professionalism (art & architecture history, building standards & codes, and what not), to sift out the ‘decorators’ from the ‘designers’. I followed in my mothers’s career path footsteps and I too became an interior designer and then a landscape designer. I never finished my college program in interior/environmental design because after a year plus I found it rather heavy on theory and and lacking in the practical. I went to work as an assistant to a well known interior designer, and then moved through several job positions, honing my craft. From ‘shadowing’ my Mom all those years growing up, then actually worked in the interior design and landscape design field, I learned far more about the design field in that setting, than I ever would have in my university program.

The ASID of today has become a ‘woke/progressive’ promoter of all this ‘green energy’, AIA LEED certification (from the U.S. Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design’) and it’s attendant BS. I retired from the field over 6 years ago. Though I miss the ‘creative process’ as it relates to creating beautiful interiors, the rest of it I do not miss at all.
