I dare say we couldn’t.
Baked bread to sell...need a permit.
Grow vegetables to sell or barter...need a permit.
Clean houses, watch kids, etc. need a permit.
Get it. We wouldn’t survive because everything down to the smallest task requires permits and permission from the government.
The police even go after little kids who try to make some extra money selling lemonade and tell them they need a permit
Free men need not ask permission. If it gets that bad, none of the licensing will mean anything.
FUBO!
Bartering can’t be controlled. Friends helping friends by exchanging skills for....whatever. No permit needed. Even if bartering is outlawed, they couldn’t control when friends and neighbors visit one another. Just be sure you know who your true friends are BEFORE the crash comes down and spies are everywhere.
If it comes to that, nobody is gonna worry about permits, licenses, etc. including me. I’m gonna shoot whatever I want for chow whenever I need it.
And you better not put in a garden in your front yard!
And the rooster gets it.
People will simply NOT listen to any government figure because respect for such will be GONE.
“We wouldn’t survive because everything down to the smallest task requires permits and permission from the government.”
Basically, to survive we’d have to become a type of outlaws.
I suppose, like jaywalking, if enough people do it most of us won’t get into trouble.
I think you’d have to be pretty dense to choose obeying the government when it comes down to that or surviving.
If anything, your post just proves that we don’t need government to surivive.
