People are getting so fed up with everything everywhere—and honestly, can you blame them? In this video I talk about how inflation, low pay, grocery prices, bills, politics, and nonstop scams have pushed a lot of Americans to the edge. The big difference now is we can see it in real time. You go online and it’s all there: people are angry, hopeless, and done trusting systems that never seem to hold anyone accountable. I also react to some of the “strange things” people are noticing: the push toward more surveillance (like Ring using AI and turning lost dogs into a reason to scan neighborhoods), the feeling that our devices are listening, and the coming vehicle “kill switch” mandate that could turn your dashboard into judge, jury, and executioner. For me, none of this is about fear—it’s about awareness. When the mood in the country changes and even non-preppers start adjusting how they spend and live, you pay attention. My takeaway is simple: if you feel that pressure building, use it to take action. My husband and I are focused on finding ways to live differently, break out of systems where we can, and make provisions for our family—because your future self will thank you.
