Whoa! Mayor of Colorado City, TX just resigned after making this FB post. TLDR: The government owes you nothing, and you’re on your own for this cold snap.

? SHITPOST ?
I know! With all the regulations, we can't put a big windmill in our neighborhood backyards or go around chopping down random trees for firewood. We have to pay $$$ to dig a well for water, and everything has to be approved by the gov't. It's insane! While it is possible to go off grid, it is very difficult because how do you work and make $? Most jobs are closer to urban areas, so that makes a lot of people stuck. And even with a mostly self-sufficient lifestyle, you still need to be able to buy things. Ammo, gasoline, flour, sugar, salt, etc.
The government has made self sufficiency very very difficult.
Amen to you and everybody else who preceded you on this thread.
This country and this world desperately need more self-sufficiency, both for its own purpose, and for the character it build...but the time to promote it is not when it's 10 below, like, "Surprise and Fuck You!"
Doing so now, in that way, is nothing less than a psy-op attack on self-sufficiency, making it seem disastrous and callous, when it's fully the opposite.
I completely agree! It's insanity. My husband are seriously considering getting some land and homesteading. Anything to lessen our reliance on the government. The problem is, we still need to live close enough to his work. So it's really hard to find a rural enough area. Our area is exploding, so there are a lot of places that used to be very rural, but suburban neighborhoods are moving in. It's difficult to know where we could go where that wouldn't happen.
