I just live my life prepared as possible for the most likely contingencies. Then I get to thinking about what if the worst thing imaginable happened, and prepare from there.

Some of the stuff on this list is just so hard to understand attitude wise, that I often think I must be living in some alternate universe to the country I grew up in.

I am wondering, if instead of giving people a hand out, you ask them to pay or trade for it. With some people that might work. If I was traveling, I sure wouldn’t pull into some rest stop. I’d have people with me who could drive, and we’d just rotate drivers till we got where we are going.

I do think that the rural areas of the midwest will be better to deal with than the entitlement crowd of some of the large cities. People tend to be kinda independent, helpful, and most households have guns, so it kinda makes any riff raff behave as long as people are in their homes.

That's why we're looking into Tennesse or Kentucky to relocate to. Not only the attitude you're talking about but weather than can be survived w/o electricity. I also want to stay as far from the border as possible. Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming would have a similar mindset, even moreso. As long as one had a good supply of wood for heating!
