My neighbor had chickens and a egg stand with a sign that said "pay what you can and if you can't take what you need"
everybody paid and just left the money ina jar besides the eggs which were all double yolk.
Why don't you do this in your town?
Honesty box
We do and it's based. If Gypsies are spotted nearby everyone secures their food until they leave.
Yeah, they can't handle regular generosity and think they're being bestowed free food 24/7 the next time they come by.
What is it like to live in a high-trust society?
Mostly great, but you can't talk to people about serious social problems because they genuinely believe that treating other how you would want to be treated works.
this, they can also be a little two faced/gossipy and everybody knows everything about you sometimes before you even do
That's damned sad.
sounds like one of those "friendly neighbourhood on the surface but actually evil underneath" settings
of course there's not gonna be any murder mystery, but I know damn well that anyone that doesn't conform to the norm will eventually be chased out, even if they don't cause any problem or steal anything and just mind their own business.
And half the women are trapped in abusive marriages, and everybody knows it but nobody says anything because they don't want to rock the boat. Heaven.
Don't forget the crabpotting. My uncle had oil on his land and got a big payday so someone shot his horse in the ass and he had to put her down. Okies don't like to see people do well
>people mind their own business
>wow this is horrible
what the frick is wrong with you people?
T. Wife beater
You've never lived in a small community. Mind their own business? What a joke.
Not a lot to do in a small town so my mother spends a lot of time snooping around and gossiping
>people choose to join a community
>then choose not to participate in said community
yep there's something wrong indeed
>but I know damn well that anyone that doesn't conform to the norm will eventually be chased out
this is something you consider a common factor among high-trust societies and somehow you still haven't made the connection
maybe some day!
not as benign as you think, most smaller places have a few entrenched families that own everything and act with total impunity just because they've been around for awhile, and can make your life a living hell if they take a disliking to you over petty bullshit despite you minding your own business. often this will occur as a form of entertainment for the family in question
Completely different from the few families that control a large city and act with impunity.
we all make compromises to be members of the collective. you may think you are better off because you live in a metropolitan society but in reality no one cares about you enough to defend you in places like that.
but it does, and the pic in the OP is proof
talking about "serious social problems" (I imagine you mean shit like racism, trannies, russia, immigrants etc) is pointless since you're not part of that particular society, but of a smaller, better one instead.
>treat others the way you want to be treated
It's a mindset like this that weeds out the feeble.
Great on paper, but in practice you've got the broken, manipulative, malicious, conniving, morally bankrupt individuals that are foul and will remain that way moral ethics be damned.
It's a guilt based system. Do the deliberately decrepit feel guilt? No.
>but in practice you've got the broken, manipulative, malicious, conniving, morally bankrupt individuals that are foul and will remain that way moral ethics be damned.
the trick is not having these characters be a part of your community
But that's racist
Anyone know where I could live that's like this (high-trust)? Currently live on the west coast (forced to) and I need to get out of here, not sure if Nebraska's the same anymore though.
I live in rural Iowa and the nearest small town has an egg stand like this. Its a very white place
ayyyy fellow iowan. NE IA here
All the states above Mass are great
>tfw living in mass
I hope to make enough money here to move up and live a comfy life in new hampshire where you can buy a gun without a permit
I need to move to Vermont.
Vermont is /misc/'s monkey paw. It's a white ethnostate, but everyone is a self-hating radlib who desperately wants more diversity and LGBT pride parades.
not even once.gk4vd
Philly is such a blight on PA. Thank god for Pittsburgh
Welp, moving to Vermont.
you like cheddar?
Yes, and Woodchuck cider.
>Nebraska
the problem there is if you're the new guy in town you'll always be the new guy, you grand kids will still be the new guys
but if you can hack it get in with the church and you'll eat food so good you didn't even know it was possible
I lived in Nebraska most of my life by Offutt, was pretty nice. Cops were always bored.
But I was considering west Nebraska, maybe buying some land. I cannot take the west coast anymore.
Thanks for the advice
If you're asking here where you should move your whole life to you're either not serious about it or a moron
Not true. Anons can give him ideas then he can research those places and see if they are for him or not.
he's moron for thinking we're going to blow up our spots on the internet
You can't. You'd always be a blow-in to whatever community you join.
ironic.
most high-trust societies tend to be those that are more well off.
they usually have more public facilities (like trust libraries, food stands, free shit in general) despite being comprised mostly of families that never really would be able to not afford anything they need or just want.
yes, I am jealous of south c**ts.
its pretty great but people still ape out over generations long redneck blood feuds
in a very small town it's not high trust so much as everybody knows what you're up to at all times. in this situation, everyone knows what kind of car you drive so they'd figure out real quick who was stealing the eggs and after that you'll be known as "anon the egg thief" until you leave the county
>t.grew up in a very small town
Now try that in a city full of _______
Fricking clam diggers
works where I live in Germany. Rural area 😉
I live in Miami
The people here are only slightly worse than your run of the mill ghetto black population
The first Cuban to see that stand would not only take all the eggs without paying, they would most likely dismantle the stand and take it with them too
Weird i lived in Fort Lauderdale and the Cubans were the only Spanish i could stand
Pretty cool actually, my Cuban neighbor would watch over my house when i was away and i did the same for him.
his problem is that he lives in a drug trafficking hub, i grew up in central florida and all the cubans i met were just fine. honesty boxes just don't really work in cities. i've lived many places and smaller communities where people regularly come in contact with each other have more of a sense of social responsibility since people actually know each other. urban neighborhoods where people actually hang around outside with each other can have it too though. trying to boil it down to race or broad cultural themes without considering the material circumstances of people's lives is pretty silly.
>trying to boil it down to race or broad cultural themes without considering the material circumstances of people's lives is pretty silly.
fair enough
>implying Cubans don't already have 3 of their own chickens in their backyard
Post reeks of gringo. Are you even from Miami?
>Post reeks of gringo.
you misspelled Puerto Ricans
Found the island goy
At least they would actually eat the eggs and use the stand for something, in the SF Bay Area the hobos would get pissed there's no money in the jar to steal, throw the eggs on the sidewalk, and take a shit in the stand.
We no need your stinking huevos gringo. I would take the jar of money though.
It's something normal here in Switzerland.
you know why, OP
>Why don't you do this in your town?
Black folk and israelites.
>FREE RANGE EGGS
>FOR SALE
Wait... Are the range eggs for free or not?
WTF kind of israelitery is this?
Probably a "pay what you want" kinda deal.
please say you're trolling and not stupid
have you never came across a pay what you want deal?
"free range" means the chicken is free to "range", which is a word that can mean "roam, wander" e.t.c
so "free range eggs" are chickens not locked up in a coop or a box or even a fence, they just roam around.
fricking zoomers...
not even 2000 years ago were chicken truly free range you nochickens
you're trolling and not stupid
Thank you.
If you live in a modestly sized city, you can't trust the population because there's no social cohesion and desperate people (drugs, poverty) are gonna frick it up. Got to be less than 3k people in town
You know why, third worlder
I would switch them with alligator eggs.
Because it's not a rural area. If you drive to the outskirts you can find that, but it's less convenient than the supermarkets that are ten minutes away from every residency.
N
man i live in rural iowa we do this all the time. great sweet corn watermelon and tomatoes
Very common in Denmark.
even in Copenhagen
we have the same thing in the cities, but they're called community pantries instead
>*we have the same thing in the cities, but they're called shoplifting
Wouldn't work here because of ~~*urban youths*~~
I remember being blown away as a kid that they don't check for tickets on Swiss public transit, it's all honor system. I'm not even melanin enriched
My brother lives in Helsinki and I noticed the same thing when I went to visit. I'd consider moving to Finland myself if it wasn't a depressing frozen hellscape where all the women are 5 foot tall obese goblins with tattoos everywhere
>Finland ... where all the women are 5 foot tall obese goblins with tattoos everywhere
They are...? Dayum thats a disappointment
in America its even worse! they start ok but put a ring on it and look the frick out
not finno swedes
yeah, and people who are based just don't buy tickets. You get caught maybe once a year, and the fine is much less than just buying tickets every day.
meanwhile, here
>you have to pay 5 USD for a bus ride across the bridge into town (there is no legal way to traverse the bridge by foot)
>total distance: 1.5-2km
>automated ticketing system, no way to cheat
>half the busses are so packed they just skip your bus stop, you need to leave an hour early to make sure you get there on time
>they you have to walk around town to avoid paying another 5 USD
>you're basically paying 10USD/day to spend 3x as long on public transit as you could just walking to the place. They jack up the price every year
>your alternative is to pay 40USD/day in parking fees in the city, if you can even find a park, and you still need to walk half an hour to get there
The city spend ~600million on "construction for a foot/cycle bridge" so you wouldn't be forced to paypig to get to work.
>overwhelming support
>get a design drawn up
>do nothing for 5 years except pay the committee excessive wages
>poll ~100 people in some rich neighborhood within the city (who would never ever use it), suddenly claim "nobody wants this"
>continue to collect excessive wages until money is exhausted, then cancel the project
the real reason they cancelled it is because they make ~100k/day in transit fees for people forced to catch a bus.
oh yeah, I almost forgot
>the automated ticketing system "conveniently" fails to scan you off the bus half the time (it will act like it did, but wont update the system) and you will get charged 10 USD for it. You need to call the Black person help service (in india) and contest the charge, which most people don't because they don't check their balance often enough.
makes you realise how fricking gay everything is designed in a lot of "developed" countries.
cutting corners to try and save money and then creating a problem which costs 10 times more to deal with is the cornerstone of the American and UK government.
perfect example is the prison system, America likes to make fun of the danes and scandies for being to lenient in their justice but look how much money and ballache they save by not being short-sighted morons with hard-ons for privatisation and making nig rape jungles to avert crime.
>America doesnt have a footpath on its bridges
Holy shit
The thing is we all have cars so there's no reason to build pedestrian infrastructure unless you're legally obligated to do so. Cities are designed around the assumption everyone has a car. It's hell, I get why bike people are pissed off
So teenagers are completely dependant on their parents (who are likely both working full time) to get around town?
yeah m8 contrary to popular belief it's not the HFCS that's making kids fat it's the fact they don't get exercise. They're not even allowed to be unsupervised until they're 16 or someone will call the cops and CPS gets involved and your kids get taken away. It's not at all like when I was growing up and you could do whatever you wanted after you learned how to ride a bike and you just had to be back in time for dinner. They're all inside, watching youtube, and eating snacks
Its the opposite here, villages are built around car owners and cities with foot traffic, it helps the service industry a lot as more people walk by if you offer walk in service
blacks
We do this with my family's blueberry farm, people come pick and then pay by the quart they picked into a box. There's so many blueberries each year that it would barely matter if people cheated the system because enough are honest it evens out
>tfw live in LA
around where I live, getting your eggs stolen would be the best case scenario. Worst case someone claims food poisoning from your eggs and you get sued for all your worth
I live in an area full of "ungrateful" types
In Japan we do this all the time. Vegetable stands by many of the local farms. Pretty good prices too. Spring and summer always has good options but you can find stuff all year long as they rotate crops.
Pic related: just take what you want and put money into the pipe in the middle.
my neighbours acrost the street do this. they put piles of fruit & veg out every day, plus eggs and honey. they make decent money from what i can tell.
Do they have a permit?
I don't know if they need one but if they do they would. The woman is one of the Town Selectman and local politicians are scrutinized by everyone and generally targeted by the police for shit like that
i dont have any chickens
Not trying to beat a dead horse, but you and
I know full well why things based on
good-will simply to not work in these times of
globalization.
Even if you sat all day right next to it
rude people would just try and scam you.
Sucks, but true.
poignant and insightful, kek
>poignant
i honestly did not know how to spell that, today i learned something
I wish we lived in a nice and just world
We have black people.
why would have them? seems like a bad investment
Hindsight is 20/20.
If only we had a time machine...
Whoa inappropriate touching!!!
You know why.
Hello from Germany. Most of our strawberry farmers use something like that. OK.... Idk if they do thet right know cause of inflation... But yeah.... It's like you can get strawberrys as as a part of a family trip and give them some money. It's good for you cause you're outside, get some nice strawberrys and (if your kids are a little older) shoe them some parts of morality. To give something to respect the work behind the (in that example) strawberry
>Why don't you do this in your town?
My town has each house distanced with like 1-2 kilometers between em.
seems quaint, we all should live like that
Why does it say these range eggs are for sale right after saying they're free???
>rent control eggs
Because you don't have to pay if you can't afford to, so they are both free and for sale at the same time. Free for those who need it, for sale to those who can afford it.
exactly! and people actually respected it, i only didn't pay once when i was broke because my power steering pump blew out and i paid it back next week when i got paid
i lived next to him for 5 years...never met him once, great neighbor
I would love to set up something like this near me, but my state is cucked and all eggs for sale have to be refrigerated and only sold in certain locations with the appropriate license. Leaving eggs out near the side of the road like that would get me heavily fined by the health department. That's why we can't have nice things like this here, the government is too busy sticking its nose up small farmers' asses and treating them like criminal corporations.
>the government is too busy sticking its nose up small farmers' asses and treating them like criminal corporations.
yea too busy doing that to stop the real criminals
Exactly. I understand why large operations need to be under strict regulations and supervision, and our state does have A LOT of those kinds of large operations, but the way that gets applied unilaterally even to people who just want to provide basic goods and services to their neighbors is maddening.
