As a currently homeless, disabled person living in a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan, yes, I wonder who has that kind of money. And you know what else I see all over the deserts and national parks I now call home? Starlink. Everyone has StarlinK. That is expensive enough, but the rigs they sit on top of are huge and money as well.

I am all good with my situation, but I know many people who have it worse than me with not even a car to live in, so when I see opulence like this for the novelty of it I wonder where human compassion has gone.

And to make like these things are doing anything for the environment is just green washing. I have solar power that cost me $700 in total that powers everything I need. My sleeping bag is my heater and my reflective tarps are my AC. I am sure my carbon foot print in minuscule compare to anyone who could afford a Jupe.

Plenty of people have that kind of money, and most of them are dumb & lazy enough to buy a product like this.

As someone who spent 5 years in a similar situation to you, what I am about to say isn't malicious; it is reality from my experience and is the key to solving the issue for yourself.

They do not care about you and never will.

I am leaving this country that I served in a war for because they do not care and they never will. I am homeless and I have money; plenty to live like people do here. I don't because it is disgusting. I don't because I am not funding people's lifestyle where they buy nonsense like this while people rot and starve.

So I am going somewhere else where people haven't lost touch with reality like they have here. I would recommend any sane people do the same ASAP because no one here is going to change. It is the better option than being angry all the time and living in their dystopia.

> They do not care about you and never will.

I agree and I know. Thank you fro an honesty many more people need to hear.

[survirtual]

Just know that while they do not care, plenty of others do. Don't lose your faith in humanity or life, just don't expect people that "have plenty" to suddenly gain a conscience. What we lack in materialism we gain in spirit. They do not hold the keys to our happiness, we do. We need nothing from such a heartless and rotting collective of people. Make community with people that do see you and how you live, and authentically care and connect. Build from that foundation and it will have significantly better outcomes.

We do not need to and cannot change what they've built. But what is built is rife with cracks and canyons, and they do not have the legs to carry themselves into those depths.

Why not build a new city here?

> So I am going somewhere else where people haven't lost touch with reality like they have here.

What kind of place is that? I've been to many places around the world and around North America and they're all functionally similar, if zooming out.

[survirtual]

Reduce your standard of living significantly and you will find a whole new world opens up to you. Build on top of that world.

[unsupp0rted]

Sorry, that's a non-answer. Where have people not "lost touch with reality"?

What part of the world would take English-speaking Americans?

[uoaei]

Is it so crazy to expect Americans to learn the language of the country they move to?

[CapstanRoller]

Some of us are first-generation immigrants to the US who already speak two languages. You're right, though: it's arrogant to expect another country to adapt to USAmericans. I wish this country took better care of its people.

>I am leaving this country that I served in a war...

Thanks for your service. I served as well and made the jump to a new country as well. My mental health has improved greatly. I hope you find some sanity as well.

The big clue that this is all a pretensious hustle is calling a TENT an "off grid shelter".
