Are there any scrapers who repost Marketplace ads?

Germans talk funny too.

 

Anyone know if it is possible to browse Facebook Marketplace without a login account to Facebook? Are there sites that mirror Marketplace? I don't need to buy or sell, just want to browse what is out there.

Russia Loving Republicans. Trump is a Russian asset. Treat the US government like an enemy.

Only buy solar if it is cheaper or cleaner than what you have now.

Cars are going to come from either Mexico or China.

Another suggestion that I forgot to add:

  1. Start negotiations to join the European Union. Whether it actually happens or not, just announce that you are starting negotiations.
 

Suggestion from across the river. The Detroit River.

  1. Canada should import goods from China without limits or taxes. Canada's cost of living will go down as the Americans learn how stupid tariffs are.
  2. If solar electric power is cheaper than other sources, buy as much cheap solar as the Chinese will send you. Try to reduce your electric costs. Export your hydro power to the US at high rates.
  3. There are cheap electric cars coming from China. Allow them in your market and benefit from low cost environmentally friendly transportation.
  4. If anyone threatens your sovereignty, put a warrant out for their arrest the minute they arrive in Canada, even if they are a government official. Its your sovereignty, gloves off.

  1. Tariff-taxes increase inflation.
  2. Declining supply of cheap foreign goods cause consumer price index increases.
  3. Federal Reserve Board increases federal fund rate to try to decrease inflation.
  4. Stock market bubble collapses.
  5. Real estate market declines as owners try to get out of "investment property".
  6. Banks start foreclosure on many no-pay mortgages.
  7. Without mortgage payments coming in, banks become insolvent.
  8. A few weak banks go bankrupt, leading to a massive run on all banks.

...

  1. Profit.

The value of Grayjay and other similar apps (Freetube, Newpipe) is based on their ability to continue to show Youtube video. If Youtube finds a way to block these apps, they will not be popular.

I would like to reduce my ecological impact and disassociate from the consumerist mindset. I don't like the direction the US government is taking and I would like to decouple from the US economy.

*I will continue to purchase items that I consider necessities.

Necessities that I will buy as required:

YES: Food

YES: Repairs (home, bicycle, vehicle)

YES: Gas/Transportation (walk or bike when you can)

YES: Receiving gifts, trades where no money is exchanged

YES: Camping, hiking, bicycle travel

YES: Giving charity

Items I will avoid purchasing during the challenge:

NO: Fast food, coffee shops, restaurants

NO: Entertainment devices, books, subscriptions

NO: New clothes or impulse purchases

NO: Hair services
