The Trouble With…living “on the grid”

July 26th, 2009 · Comments

I find all sorts of problems with living “on-the-grid”.

 

You see, on-the-grid living is just a hassle. You have to sign up for health benefits, you have to pay taxes, the government has you on-file.

 

What happens when the government gets overthrown by a bigger corporation? Look, I think we all have general distrust in our governments but the only real and true way to get around all that is to simply live off the grid.

 

Seems simple enough, right? Well, the first part is a little tricky.  Actually getting off-the-grid. Here’s an idea and it might work for some, for others maybe not but any idea is a good idea as far as I’m concerned.  Also, you are going to want to start working out around this point.  Start off by lifting some weights, build some muscle tone up.  Get good and bulked up.  It’ll help later on.

 

First, save up some cash then meet up with a government official.  It’s preferable if you meet up with an MP or in the case of our friends to the south, meet up with a Senator and pay them off. They can have you removed and boom, you are on the way.

 

Now, you’ll want to keep making a living and the best way to do that is to go into manual labour. It’s not the greatest, especially if you were an engineer for a big oil company or an executive at a bank but hey, first thing we are told is you gotta make a living. Life isn’t going to hand you shit just because you’re off-the-grid. Technically, according to life, you’re dead.

 

Remember how I told you to start lifting weights and working out?  It comes in handy as you’ll need to get a manual labour job with a really sketch/shady type of boss. The one who’ll pay you cash at the end of the day.  Also, if he stiffs you, you can just kick his ass to the other side of the moon with all that working out you’ve done.

 

Another point is to buy a gun, you’ll probably need that. It can help because once you move into a new place – right I forgot. Find a sketchy apartment building and sketchy super. The one that won’t ask for background checks, credit checks, etc… back on topic, if you get a gun, you can hassle other co-workers into giving you their cash.

 

Once you’ve been hidden for awhile, you’ll want to hit up a computer and do a little identity theft. Not much, just have a new name that you can have things sent to because you’ve spent all this time off-the-grid you can’t simply be put back ON. Where’s the fun in that? Use this identity for all the boring stuff like credit card bills, unwanted letters from various collection agencies, you know the boring shit.  Also, as much as you’ll be tempted, do not log into old e-mail accounts and any of your logins.  You’re supposed to be not around, dead.  It’ll look weird if you start logging on.

 

You’re on the way to living life the free way. And remember, just because it’s a jungle out there, doesn’t mean it has to turn into one. Befriend some of your fellow “off-the-grid”ers, start a community, a network, exchange phone numbers, then start thinking about leadership. Form election committees, that type of thing. Just think, you can go from living a life of luxury, paying taxes, listening to some other man to being king of the hidden peoples! Off-the-grid, powerful, above you, there’s only cops and when they ask you for your name during those guaranteed run-ins with the law, just give them your computer identity.

 

It’s easy.

 

Now, how do I hit confidential on this post?
