hello everyone! :)

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Ramiro Romani and I'm representing The Greater Reset, a solutions based conference in direct opposition to the World Economic Forum's The Great Reset.

We bring together speakers in important areas over 5 days (Health, Economy, Food, Technology, Community) to bring solutions that can be carried out in decentralized & local ways that respect individual liberty, bodily autonomy, and choice.

Our fourth event is taking place January 18-22nd next year and we would love to have someone represent and come speak for the Monero community.

This event is live streamed and has around 100,000 people viewing over the course of the week. It would be great exposure and promotion for Monero.

you can find more details at: thegreaterreset.org

thank you for all that you do and feel free to DM me

ramiroro, where is is being held?

ahhh

says on the site

hi Mochi101, it is being held in Mexico and Texas

definitely come on down and join us

lots of crypto lovers in the midst

we are also going to have a few speakers come in virtually

yes fuck the WEF

fuck em indeed!

do y'all have suggestsions for members of the Monero community that would be good representatives?

Why Morelia? Seems a little inaccessible.

Saves on collateral damage when shelled ?

yeah... I never thought of that grumblemobile

Why I'm still alive.

Mochi101, its a 2 day drive from the border. Its pretty accessible by flight and we had 300 people come out last time

a lot of people escaping from the totalitarian covid measures occuring in Europe, Aus, and elsewhere

but if that is hard to get to then I recommend going to the event in Central Texas

I live in Mexico.

Mochi101, that's awesome! i hope you can join us

I'd never take a "leisurely drive" from near the northern Mexican border to Morelia for a convention like this though.

we have a pretty active Mexican community, with groups for most of the major cities

yeah I'm not Mexican

Mochi101, crossing the border is not to be taken lightly for sure. we have a program called Underground Railroad that caravans through the border

for safety and ease for newcomers!

It's not the border I'd be worried about... It's the endless tolls on the highways.

Mochi101, Mexican as in currently residing in Mexico, not as in native Mexicans.

yeah... we usually take the free roads. but the tolls are sizable and with gas these days

still, this is more than your regular convention

a lot of connections and community to be made

Hmmm... 5000 pesos round trip to fly... way less than I thought.

ok... 7k pesos if you have baggage

is it still a pain to fly? are you only allowed to fly if vaxxed?

in Mexico?

never had that in MX

I guess that depends where you come from idk

international flight

I couldn't get to the USA unvaxxed though

I think most countries have dropped covid vax/testing requirements

USA hasn't

Canada hasn't

right. its pretty cheap to fly

in Mexico there are no rules for vaccination

you do need to show a negative covid test

Are you Mexican ramiroro ?

but these can be doctored

ramiroro, to fly in Mexico?

no, I am American but frequent Mexico a lot!

no

You don't need to show anything in Mexico to fly.

They don't even ask you.

yeah to fly into Mexico i'm pretty sure you don't need anything

but i guess it was last year when people were flying back out

the airlines were requiring a negative covid test

For the USA?

yes back to the USA then

If you're a US citizen you don't need anything... if you're a foreign national you need proof of vaccination.

yeah the people i had been helping were citizens

in those cases you just needed to the negative test

if you want to come into the USA without any vaccination stuff and you're a foreign national

UNless you're an illegal border jumper.. then you don't have to show anything and you get a free hotel room and transportation.

look at the land border

As of Thursday, April 21, 2022, DHS will extend COVID-19-related land border entry requirements. Non-U.S. travelers seeking to enter the United States via land ports of entry and ferry terminals at the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and provide proof of vaccination upon request.

Unless you cross illegally...

my friend

they outright lie on the CDC site all the time

yes non-US need a vax to mingle with the unvaxed muricans

Unless you're an illegal alien!

ill say this. i have personally seen people come over the land border without vaccination

they were not even asked by the border agents

Well...

It's a 4 hour drive for me to be turned back from the border.

right. its a bit of a gamble. but if i were to try i would go for the Progreso crossing

or is it Nuevo Progreso

need fake docs

oh that's like a 20 hour drive

rip lol

I way west

Nogales

oh cool - haven't been on that side of MX

Really want to go to the USA and bring back some Jujube trees though...

you have to cross the mountains to get over then hmm

Can't find them here.

Yeah, I'm a bit afraid to go to the USA because it's so dangerous. I might get mugged or something.

very cool Mochi

that tree and fruit look awesome

you should be afraid of the US cops

cops are extremely dangerous and may attack at any time

I'm just joking around.

haha

well it helps to have friends

if you use telegram you can get connected with all the groups we have in mexico

it is common for people to ride down together and bring stuff for each other from us

Yeah ramiroro, I have a property here and am trying to get some desert dwelling fruit trees on it.

Building a little apartment sort of thing on it right now too.

Around 4000 m2 property... 43000 ft2 for you Americans.

Mochi101, that's awesome. pretty brave to do it in the challenging desert climate

Yeah, well I've put in my time here so I know what I'm up against. Ive had the property for about 14 years too.

congrats mate. it is always cool to hear about people who have integrated into another country

i'm still looking for where i am going to call home

its definitely not going to be in a big American city

Mexico isn't bad.

There's a lot of freedom here.

yes there is a lot of Freedom! with a little taste of danger. just how i like it.

are you trying to be completely off grid with your property?

I will be energy independent yeah. Water I will rely on rainwater harvesting and a local well hookup (not mine).

Mostly I just want to harvest rainwater to be more independent and have more leeway on my water usage.

very cool.

i think you will get along with the rest of our community.

our main platform is freedomcells.org

lots of people on there doing the same thing, exchanging knowledge, and building communities.

if you get signed up there's a page on there for different Telegram groups in the world and in mexico

i got to go now but i really hope to meet you in Morelia next year

peace everyone!

look interesting

thanks
