I am an Ohio country girl who lived most of my life way out of the mainstream way...I hunt, grew fruits and vegetables...had a well, a pond stocked with fish and could heat with wood, coal or conventional gas/electric. Also put in a big generator, that switched on when power went out...had a fruit/root cellar and canned more food than you can imagine. I could be self sufficient for months (even put in a 300 gallon tank for gas and smaller one for diesel )...got a pig & 1/2 cow each year and raised chickens for eggs and meat....I know how to survive! Hopefully the people who own my old place appreciate it lol...due to a physical disability and age I had to sell but still carry the knowledge...but here's the point, many out there in this world can't survive because they never had to. Times up I guess... This ex mayor is right and wrong at the same time..many people can't help themselves because of illness, disability or age....sounds like he had a breakdown from the pressure of the job to me...
