Show notes

We are in crazy times, as I just found out when The Simple Life website was shutdown by the (former) webhosting company, Siteground. In this episode, I dig into all the details of what actually happened and why. But it appears freedom and helping people live a simpler, more self-reliant life is not too popular with the woke left, and the companies they represent. Our personal freedoms are under attack, but we can’t give up, and I for one am up for the fight! Topics Discussed: An update and back in the swing of operation travel trailerWhy it appears my website was taken down and how I fixed itHow tech companies appear to be drinking from a cup of tyrannical powerThey (tech companies) are coming for us, so we better be preparedWhy we must be careful with the tech we use in our everyday livesWhy the big tech companies will never change and should not be trustedWhy Jack Dorsey is full of itHow we can better protect ourselves in the futureSome rants on how I feel about the current state of affairs in our countryWhy we need to be focusing on fixing ourselves firstWhy getting you addicted and wasting time is part of the strategyWhy we need to create alternatives to the companies trying to silence us Resources and links: Belong to The Simple Life Insider’s Circle: https://thesimplelifenow.com/betterlifeCREDIT: Episode art background image Photo by Stephen Radford
