Same here in Lebanon Tennessee. I live 4 miles from the Cedars of Lebanon. Traffic here has gone bezerk. And everyone is driving fast. I talked to a coppa a few days ago and he said people are flooding into this area, and I have noticed it’s mostly milenials. Bless their hearts so many died from the vaxxx but faaah. They drive like batshi@ out of hell.

Re: It Is A MAD HOUSE In My Town Right Now!! HOLY MOLY!
Wife and I are age 33 millennials with one child. We had no financial support from parents so opted for a cheaper college, got a job starting at 45k right out of school. Found an affordable house and didn’t go spend crazy. Within 3 years of the house my wife opened two storefronts during pandemic and both have been successful. The rent was so cheap because so many were closing doors. She just took a small loan out but now we are all set. Some of us do work hard and have money to spend but there are also plenty we know with huge handouts from their parents. We also live in the south where everything is much cheaper too.

The increase in travel is likely people finally getting over malls and other modern boring activities after pandemic weaned us off. Also many are still likely scared of media Covid fear so they opt to go outside and travel instead of load up and fly into a busy city. Just my opinion could be a lot of factors.

Re: It Is A MAD HOUSE In My Town Right Now!! HOLY MOLY!
I don't think I have ever posted on GLP even though I have been here since 2010.. I do lurk alot, almost every other day.


I live in a small wilderness town around under 10,000 people in the western part of the US.

There are alot of lakes and rivers and other recreational activities in my area.

I have lived in this area for over 31 years. During the summer time it does get a little busy, but not too chaotic. It has been like that since I moved here 31 years ago...

But OMFG, this week has been a mad house!! I know it is Memorial day weekend,but never have I seen so many people traveling to my area. I am talking about a 10x increase in the number of people! 10x from a normal summer vacation crowd. It usually takes me 5 minutes to drive from the supermarket to my house, but yesterday it took 30 minutes!! Even when it was busy in the summer time in the past 31 years, it only took me 10 minutes max!

A while ago I read a thread about this GLPer mentioning that unempIoyed people are always traveling. see thread below

Thread: Unemployed People Are UNSTOPPABLE... Nothing Can Stop These People From Traveling

I have to agree with this guy. I mean, gas prices are skyrocketing, inflation is at historic high, 401k's has taken a huge hit from the stock market crash, and people are all in debt to their heads and they are just traveling around alot?

This makes no sense.. People already had 2 years off from Convid, how much more vacation time do these people need?

Here is an article showing that more people are going out this weekend.. What the heck is going on?

Much of the driver behind inflation is expectation.

once people believe prices will only be higher tomorrow,
they're gonna spend their money TODAY.

You're seeing the change in expectation. Spend now
because your money will be worthless soon.

They are part of the bitcoin welfare club. There is a circle of very rich billionaires that have taken control of the money printing press, are destroying the entire economy via inflation and are using the printed money to hand out free bitcoins to people they deem worthy (aka anyone that isnt a christian). This is how they want to purge certain unwanted parts of the population, with economic warfare. They have effectively privatized the welfare system.

I know people who officially have no income whatsoever, they pretend they are struggling financially, but they buy themself luxurious cars and trips to Hawaii. The bitcoin welfare club is a very, very real thing.

This bitcoin welfare system is a direct precursor to the mark of the beast system.

it makes me wonder there the fuck are these people getting all of this money from. how much free time do these people have?

they have already maxxed out their credit cards during covid, so where in the blue hell are they getting more money from?

dont they have to pay their mortgage, cards, student loans, ect ect..???
