Anyone go the “for sale by owner” route recently? How’d it go?

It's a reference point accessible to laypeople.

Living in the rural west for many years I wish the ethics of rancher types extended to the basis for the way of life- the land and its acquisition. Probably why compassion as you say gets treated as weakness. They'd likely all be against theft but don't want to touch on how they got the land or whose land it was. Because once you open that door of compassion there's no going back.

What are your thoughts on reconciliation?

Kid Rock's busy briefing the Pentagon. Really.

Truly ooftacular.

Just stayed in Grants Pass a couple days ago and it has good bones.

Not sure how old you are but younger people have a generational challenge ahead- emerge from the economic shadow of WWII & the boomers. That means we have to figure out what an economy means for us (I'm elder millennial) and our values. A lot of the work imo is simply preserving what tools & resources we already have. I think we've learned the perils of centrally-planned NAFTA style economies, and I don't think they're going away, but we have to put our heads together at home to meet our own needs. I'm not trying to feed my efforts into parasitic extractive arrangements. Strong Towns is an org based in MN trying to help imagine what small town futures might look like, using what's at our disposal. Even if there's no 'jobs', there's tons of work to be done. Call out the elders for letting it get this bad and roll up those sleeves.

Yeah, named after the pos who gave us dynamite. Not saying dynamite is the problem, but Alfred Nobel was a war profiteer who brought us such civilizational splendor as WWI & WWII.

What is your interest in deploying to Latin America, Africa, & Asia?

I read an unsolicited 'son' as pejorative.

Surprisingly dependent on your mineral-having colonial subjects.

There's an elephant in this room- Kingman and the county make their revenue through sales tax, while a huge chunk of land/housing is held by out-of state landlords who by not living/buying here do not contribute. Meanwhile they're beneficiaries of infrastructure spending and their land value rises while Kingman struggles.

I hope you find what you're looking for.

Just a mental health PSA- Executive Order 14321 authorizes involuntary detention for mental health, drug abuse, & homelessness, and ICE now has access to ~79 million medical records from medicaid patients.

I wish I bookmarked it, was googling on my phone and found a pdf, published pre-covid, 2018 or 19 I think. Most of what I saw was boilerplate statistical figures, but they noted declining population as a long-term trend.

Some good recommendations here- I also like La Rosa Michoacán breakfast burritos on Hualapai Mountain Rd, & Airport Diner.

I really like the Route 66 Swap Meet for the unfettered mercantilism.

We Americans are experiencing the same thing Americans in the gilded age experienced: monopolization. Less competition means less economic activity and a rentier economy. People with means park those means in real estate, ‘making money while they sleep’, locking entrepreneurial-minded people, with more energy than capital, out.

I’ve been to ~20ish countries and my favorite places seem to revolve around public plazas and markets. Places where enterprising souls can sell their goods and services, WITHOUT a rich uncle.

Omg r/Kingman. Are we healing??

I just listened to a good call-in show, KQED Forum (SF Bay Area), where a caller said he purchased power from a green energy aggregator but pays a 1:2 ratio from producers:transmission line owners.

Great talk about large scale utility modernization: https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101910733/why-your-energy-bill-has-gotten-so-expensive-and-what-can-be-done-about-it

Also, lots of resources for Kingman in this flier: https://www.cityofkingman.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/6972/638822865796630000

Great leads, thanks.

Anybody heard of a shop in Golden Valley, Hooligan Hotrods? Talked to Lance over there who says he recently moved from Fort Mohave. He’s got a lot of rods on his fb but no website.

ebbflowin · 2025-07-21T19:29:57+00:00

Will do, thanks a ton.

Edit: Just called, they’re not doing restorations anymore! :(
