***This older woman had a large store of home canned food, she survived just fine.***
During WWII my brother-in-law’s parents had a ranch in West Texas and kept a large store of home canned food to get through the winter.
One day someone dropped a dime on them to the FEDS, and their entire stock of home canned foods was confiscated because they wer “hoarding food”.
They survived that winter because they had another cellar hidden out in the hills with just enough to get through.
Things haven’t changed much if you read some of the post here there are several FReepers who would drop a dime on you in a minute that or rob you of your stores.
Yea, I wouldn’t put it past our government to do such a thing. Especially if they did that back then, disgusting by the way. I’m sick of busy body government sticking it’s big ugly nose in my bidness. If I remember correctly it was also illegal to have gold coins.
