I say mercs because check out the roid ranger with the loose shirt. That's private security. You might be an asshole if you have to hire private security to watch your back everywhere you go.
Pigs and mercs; tools of the wealthy to keep the common people in their place.

I have a string of "you might live on a compound if..."
Your property has a VCP
You've ever asked if a CONEX counts as a building
You have your own place names for features on your place
And I'll say this -- it ain't for everyone. But, if like me, your personal home decor aesthetic is "STALKER camp", it's awesome. Just get used to checking the fence, and making sure there are no water leaks at the barn, and and and. The question is, is it a farm, a compound, or both?
Exactly. Big land is great for big toys -- rockets, drones, big trucks, 600lbs robots. But it's just like the tractor and big truck -- I just want to do what I want with them, I do not want to make a living that way. By the way, my buddy's ranch, where cell coverage is meh, has fiber to the house.
Yep. I know a number from the hacker community that live like I do -- rural/semi-rural. A few have some "hobby" level gardens and livestock, but none are trying to "do farming". That said just taking care of 20 acres is indeed a thing, but I still long for the 150 in the Ozarks my rancher buddy has.
Speaking for myself, I think many are saying "I want to retire somewhere were I can own more than a postage stamp or condo" when they say "to a farm". I mean, I'd like to retire to more than the 20 acres I've got, but I'm never going to farm anything but antennas.
Do they get a knife that says "Blut und Ehre"?

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.

It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.
The latest jobs report shows the U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs last month and unemployment rose to 4.4%.
Economic statistics can feel abstract.
But behind every number is a real family sitting at the kitchen table trying to make the math work.

I love Econ-positng. Dan Habsmith of Guttermeyer Associates posts the most confusing chart you've ever seen and says "Quite surprising VARG numbers, SPLG index showing movement" and you get the context by one of his mutuals quoting it with "Buy a fucking gun and head for the hills. Right now."

Details on the Buntar-3 drone that was reportedly used:
‘..relies on optical navigation and signal triangulation to determine its position’
Remarkable:
‘The drone’s software suite also integrates with the Signal messaging app, allowing for coordination with adjacent units’.
