    • @truthadvocacy

      " $35K a year" depends on the cost of living. Russians have comparable lifestyle to Americans, yet their median revenue is much lower!
      The Federal poverty level per person is $13600.
      The French median annual revenue is 26,000 euros!
      Economically illiterate people don't understand that.😂 They look at the whole world through the American len$.🤣

    I've read up on Slab City before. Some slab city people have a/c, internet, power, toilet, shower. There's a hot spring nearby. For food not sure but they are resourceful and trade items and services too. Most come from other places with some savings or a monthly benefit or pension cheque that will stretch out further there. Some residents there are very resourceful. Alot less people there in summer. One person rents out places to stay there with all the amenities. But it's not club med. Gritty. Grateful for what I have in Toronto.

    I second "hate doing dishes." When I see content creators preparing elaborate meals, I notice they never show themselves cleaning up. You, however, did! My GF and I freeze single portions of our favorite meals (gumbo, red beans & rice, taco soup) in silicone trays called Souper Cubes. Then we pop them out and vacuum seal them. They stack in the bottom of the cooler like bricks. When it's time to eat, we throw the blocks in a pot of boiling water on the jetboil. Once they are hot, we cut open the bags and dump them in our bowls. After dinner, we use the hot water in the pot to rinse our our bowls. Our little hack for gourmet food without ridiculous prep and cleanup!

    Those people living in Slab city is their choice and they probably love it!!. Still grateful for what we have but EVERYONE has a choice to be where there at in life whether they are happy with their choice or not. This is USA and our sky is the limit +!! Life is short like you say Maria so let's take advantage and live it!! Thanks for your videos keep up the awesome footage we all enjoy!! From Midland Texas God Bless you and Blue !

    What a sweet quaint little town! But poverty is sad. I loved your latest adventure Maria. God's blessings as you travel and remember, many of us are seeing these places for the first time ever and it's because of you!
