Agreed. The problem with trying to maintain the community is that many voted for socialism, and thus would feel entitled to a prepper’s stuff.
Invest in a like-minded community. Those who also prep. A doctor who accepts cash. Other home schooling parents or private schooling parents who would home school with you if schools are shut down or unreasonable (like hailing Obama each morning). A religious community that will support you and aid you in down times. But not everyone in the vicinity is part of the obligation to be helped.
True. There's one in this neighborhood that will never be fed at my table. Ever.
