For the past week (it took that long to read the “Trump Failed” thread) I’ve been reading how I should get out of debt, be self sufficient, and generally just simplify, simplify, simplify. So, I did. Doesn’t need much furniture, and I’m putting wheels on it …mobility so I can move from one red county to another at the drop of a hat. I don’t even need toilet paper. I just use the pine needles. You can send house warming gifts to Admin, and he will forward them to me. (I prefer cash.) Thanks you all for your advice. I believe my new life of utter degradation will strengthen my character.
Windproof and waterproof sleep pods have been installed in the streets of a German city in order to house the homeless. The wood and steel cabins, which can fit up to two people, protect against the cold, wind, and humidity. They also guarantee fresh air circulation. The capsules are also equipped with solar panels, and are connected to a radio network, allowing occupants to communicate without dependency of mobile networks.
To ensure privacy, there are no cameras in the pods, but the opening of the doors triggers a motion sensor which alerts social workers who check the pod following its use to ensure that it can be cleaned, and also to provide assistance to anyone using the unique form of accommodation.
THE END
This is taking “Tiny Homes” to the extreme, isn’t it?
I figured since I grabbed top billing in your Doghouse for Big Bad Dogs post, I’d see if you think Trump should openly ask for enrollment in a Patriot/Conservative Realignment Party (P/CRAP) for short. I would be fascinated to see how many people would openly sign up for the PCrap party?
Would that give Demons their enemies list or would it force them to recognize the new P/CRAP lobby as a political force in the Holy Shrine of the Shrew?
NO! I would not sign up for the PCrap party. I would NOT vote for Trump again even if he ran as a Republican, Libertarian, or any other party old or new.
Fool me once ….
But, would it make people who joined the party targets or would it give them political cover? I asked my Nick if he would be part of it as a form of protest (not voting for Trump but voting against the establishment GOP Congresscritters).
He surprised me. He said YES because it is time to all stand together or get hung separately.
And, he is the boss of me.
I don’t believe THAT for one stinking second!
Maggie, forget about Trump!! He’s done. Stop wasting your brain cells fretting over him. It’s over. He ain’t coming back for another run … at anything. WHY would he?? What could possibly be a motivation for him?
He’s going to fade quietly into the dark night, which is perfect cover to grab himself some moar pussy. That’s his future.
I’m confused, Stucky. I thought you reamed Uncola a new icehole for his latest essay and now you say you were fooled by Drumpf? Hmmm…me confused.

He’s just confused. Once Big Brother is finished with him he will sit quietly, soaking up gin and, while gin soaked tears stream down his cheeks he will realize that he always loved Big Brother.
Stucky, you need to raise your sights and consider van living. That little cube needs some wheels and a companion to keep you warm….

POW! WHAM! Holy Flashback Batgirl!!!
Suddenly I’m back inside 1975…rambing around eight or nine states…six weeks in the Keys…parked on a logon… pina coladas for lunch…women whose names I can’t remember…but whose memory I can’t forget…and my wife wants to know why that huge grin is spreading all over my face…
“Honey…I was just thinking about that tricked out Dodge Van I had when we met, remember I sold it after we moved in together to decorate our first apartment…give us our start”.
“Oh yea…didn’t you spend a summer touring the country living in it”?
The grin swallows my face…and I start laughing out loud.
Mine was a 1969 Blue and White VW bus. I loved that bus, I fixed up the back with a plywood mattress platform and drawers, I had a cooler, a hibachi and my dog, Sunshine.

Coors beer, campfires and tequila. I remember after some beer and tequila chasers coming to, my feet in the air, silhouetting the starry sky with my head gently buffered by hard soil, this happened in the Great State of Colorado, or maybe New Mexico or maybe Wyoming or….possibly even Texas…woohoo and cheers to a misspent but lively youth….

Shit! My old van is now worth a fortune! And I sold it because the bottom was rusted out to the point where one could see the road zipping underneath the wheels. Live and learn…sigh.
Wow, for a second I thought that was a 1965 …. cuz that’s what I had while stationed in Greece. My bumpers were different and mine had a single window on the sliding door. Also had a two tone scheme … white and orange. Gawd, I really enjoyed that ride.
Mygirl, it seems everyone is missing the Main Point of my article …. send cash as a house-warming gift!! Bunch of cheap bastards here.
Shit Stuck…
“send cash as a house-warming gift”!!
You should of just come out and said so buddy…
Here you go!
Remember, don’spend it all in one place…
Your Jersey buddy…

Gosh, Stuck, I missed that cash business as well. Here, I’ll add some cash and money to Mark’s offerings….How much cash do you need for that stunning edifice anyways?

The Beatles did a great job on “Money.”
00:58 Sid Vicious shouldn’t be in that rogues’ gallery.
He didn’t hurt anyone.
My Girl sure knows the way to Stucky’s heart, or …
Germans shouldn’t have closed the ‘camps’.
utter bullshit in my opinion. I should add, I am speaking to the concept of providing and maintaining such an idea.
Think of the social workers that get to clean the human feces and urine out of those “homes”.
“…alerts social workers who check the pod following its use to ensure that it can be cleaned…”
A statement within a statement. To check if the pod can be cleaned.
Don’t use pine needles,too itchy. The colonials used to use the leaves of the lambs ear plant,soft and easy to use. Check with local nursery.
Oooh…. Lamb’s ear is great in salad.
So it’s good on both ends.
Lol, like celery.
No shit?
Rather than pine needles, you could just drag your butt in the snow before you retreat back into your dog house.
Now that’s funny.
It’s a pilote project to evaluate the usability . Aim is to reach homeless people in winter who haven’t succeeded in finding shelter so they are in danger of freezing to death in cold nights. Two pods are placed in the city of Ulm.
Certainly there is a flock of social workers and evaluators who have succeeded in finding a warm place!
I suspect they will misused as party pods or other activities….
LOL, Stucky, aren’t all of the psychoses floating around in what used to be a country fascinating?
Stucky, does it have enough room for masturbating? You don’t want to be inhibited.
Onan the Austrian
The solar panel is a nice touch. Trying to get into AOCs pants?
Are you sure it’s not a coffin?
Hey!
That was my first thought!
I’ve seen some mighty innovative casket designs over the years but that takes the cake.
I have to ask if they are air tight as well?
They would stack nicely without taking up too much room.
Lure them in, in the middle of the night a tractor comes and dumps the contents into the soylent green factory.
Pine needles? You want pine needles to wipe your butt? You can have all mine.
Good thing you live in NJ. God hates NJ and the place is loaded with pine trees. I’m so sick of the damned things. They litter the yard and kill my grass every year like clockwork. You can rake a dozen times at multiple angles and not get them all. This is why my yard has loads of patchy moss … that, and the fact the soil is sandy and useless without purchasing fertilizer.
This year was especially bad. Plenty of early rain made the trees bloom like mad. More leaves. More pine needles. More plugged city drains and sewer lines.
Yeah, you can have my pine needles. Just show up with a rake and a bunch of bags.
They make great lightning rods too, jersey
Do what I did my transplanted brother from another mother…hire a guy with a big machine and a bigger grinder, to take’em out, turning pine trees to mulch to black gold in four years… and replant trees of your choice…have put in almost 150 replacements…60 of them produce fruit and nuts…the rest fast growing thick privacy.
Why would you be so concerned about doing number-two when you’d already be living in an outhouse?
Use the Green Acres theme. Two milenials, not gender specific.
Blue Acres is the place to be….. Po-o-o-od livin’ is the life for me! Noooo place to go that’s far and wide, so trade Mom’s basement for a home that’s coffin sized!!
You JERK is what I want to say, they’ll lock us in both night and day! I just adore some free shit too, but I don’t believe these people are friends to you!
You are my wife(??)!… Good-by any sort of a life!…. Blue Acres we are therrrrrrrrrrre!!
That’s all I have right this minute. I suppose I could attach an audio file, but that would ruin whatever tiny charm this might have. Real tiny, I am afraid.
Dam Brian…got me singing and I can’t even chirp…
I’ve already got a small lot purchased; where’s a link for cost and specifications? Does it come with a granite flowerbox?
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <<——-====
When the chickens all come home to roost, it will take a heap big pile of 'Murikan frog hides to snag one.
I’ve just never been a fan of the A-frames. Although that one doesn’t look like it would be overly difficult to heat.
Future homes of amazon employees since they will have no cars and the parking lot will serve as the location. Eventually employees will get 8 hours max in the pod as 2 more people will share each one. All shopping will be in the company store/website. All pay will be in a company account and you can’t spend it anywhere else or remove it to leave.
You will own nothing and….you WILL be happy.
it looks like your new earth pod could also be used as a sky tote or sea scuttle.
coffin?
Stuck,
You could always move to Japen and just rent?

What an innovative housing concept!
Small enough to be mounted on a wee trailer for overland excursions and petite enough to go onto a floating platform or barge for waterborne adventures.
Auntie can see it now: The New Adventures of Stuckleberry Finn.
Better than a coffin….and, you can, hopefully, catch a catfish or two…

Here it is, Stuck .Totally debt free and ready to roll. BTW, the tires on top are to dampen the noise of the metal roof rumbling when the wind blows. Take the tires off and it just like being at the ocean listening to the surf break.
The Trump Failed article was written by a Communist.
There, I said it…
OHMama is gonna kick your ass.

Which one, there’s two posted this week. Seems certain minds were thinking alike…
Of course David Gilmour is a communist, there is that.
I expect the solar panels to disappear rather quickly. It would also be a good way to kill someone. Block the airflow and then block the opening to get out. Or simply open it and do what you’re going to do. They also wouldn’t be that hard to lift to, say, dump someone in river while they’re asleep.
I don’t think these are going to turn out to be a good solution. They’d be better off building projects.
An idea Detroilet had a few years ago. A way to put the excess shipping containers to use.
The neighborhood, would of course turn into gang turf in 2 weeks.
The upside might be that the corrugated steel walls might slow down
the inevitable fusillades of bullets.
I was thinking a pretty nice crack den/whorehouse. They would not burn as bad when your crack manufacturing caught fire.

In order to house 3rd-world filth that shouldn’t be there in the first place. Fixed it for THEM.
