A couple of years ago we had major winter storms. The lights were out all over the place, trees were down, roads blocked, it was a mess.

The locals put on their snowplows and fired up their chainsaws.

The manager at McDonald's had a large generator that he hooked up, people came in on snowmobiles to work and distribute the food to the road and rescue crews. The pharmacy was next door so MickyDees ran a line across and they began to fill orders and the snowmobiles did deliveries.

Life in a small northern town.

Your people did what you posted, and our neighbors did what I posted our area.

We didn’t need FEMA or a similar local worthless organization.

People in both areas needed help and local people gave it.

We didn’t raise the local/state or national debt.
