Here is something I researched three years ago for a video and completely forgot about: Megaregions. Yeah! I looked everything up a few years ago when I first started looking into the whole NWO (New World Order) and UN (United Nations) stuff. Boy have I learned a lot and forgot a few things along the way. I had heard about megaregions but didn’t know much about them until I dug into it. There have been sites on it and they have been reclaimed and redesigned. Why?
They painted a pretty clear picture of what America’s future would look like. The areas of California that keep burning every summer are not included in the megaregion plan for California. Also, Alaska and Hawaii aren’t included. Well, let me be a little more specific about that. These are areas we will not be able to venture into. There will be plenty for us to do in these areas. Museums, parks, concerts, and other artistic interests. Learning to cook or write poetry because hey who knows what kind of jobs we will have.
According to the articles from World Economic Forum, we won’t have to pay for anything. Not even rent. Yeah! Can we move that plan along with a little faster? We will live in these megaregions happily. What made me think about this is the situation I and other friends find ourselves in. Our apartment complex was auctioned off back in June. Now we don’t know who owns the complex or if they will jack up the rent or not. Will they subsidize those who don’t already have a form of it: Section 8.
I don’t think the section 8 program can handle any more people. About 75% of people in America are now on section 8 (or Housing Choice Voucher). After last year when the Trump Administration shut the country down the number went from about 35% to 75% and growing. There will be more people needing housing assistance after the moratoriums expire. Whenever that is? We must also wonder how much more pressure can our Food Stamp programs handle? Maybe the megaregions would be a good thing to divide up that stress on our system. The article Welcome to 2030 made it clear that you and I will own nothing and we will be happier than we’ve ever been. I do know that what we are currently doing isn’t working. Our infrastructure is breaking down. Think about what happened in Texas back in the winter.
