I hear what you’re saying. Sometimes the easiest way to build is to let it burn to the ground and start over.
But, you’re right, it’s not my first choice. I’m prepared to deal with it, and have peace with whatever I need to do. But, the ramifications go beyond its effects on me. The thought of my not yet adult children having to make the choice of whether or not to shoot a neighbor or family member...makes me sick, as does the thought of them potentially having to do without me. At their age, their ancestors may have fended for themselves, but it wouldn’t be my first choice.
Still, we plan for all contingencies as best we can. And, hope. Realistically, though, there are too many people who have been conditioned to believe Daddy Government will, and should, provide. They won’t willingly give up their teat in favor of hard work or hardship. It may just be a matter of when the inevitable happens.
If I were you, I would go and emigrate somewhere, preferably Chile/Costa Rica, somewhere the government isn’t self destructive.
