Going Galt does not mean (to me) refusing to be a producer.

A better strategy is to channel your productive efforts into endeavors that tend to favor other “red state” type enterprises and individuals. Buy the reloading gear from an outfit in Idaho, not an outfit that imports Chinese via Long Beach. That’s just one small example of what I mean.

Work off the books for cash or barter as much as possible. Take “payment in kind” when you can. Read Tom Baugh’s “Starve the Monkey” for a million ideas about this version of “Going Galt.”

And if you can, “vote with your feet” and move your productive energy from a blue county and state, to deep red. For example, Make Texas the new shining beacon of economic freedom by taking your energy there. Starve the beast, but support people like you with your economic choices.

Agreed, except for moving red state, my version, stand your ground and be prepared for the predictable economic outcome of government-made inflation or insufficient funds. Well, unless your in a bad area full of dupes that will predictable continue to be dupes.

But there is a issue of the media and the low-information voters and the abstaining voters that would have change an outcome if they be presented with the new reality that was so deceitfully covered for.
