Sadly a lot of people can't think for themselves. If a problem is coming they wait for the government to tell them what needs to be done rather than come to a conclusion on their own.
Seriously, everyone should have one of these:
1. A garden where they can produce enough food to eat well and feed others if need be.
2. A generator for your own electricity. (Wind turbines are nice and simple to make.)
3. A well. You can use a dowsing rod to find one or pay someone to find one for you. (Tap into it, straight pipe all the way down with a hand pump attached. Cleaner than you think.)
When you become self-sufficient and no longer need to rely on services you thought you had to pay for, you'll realize how many "problems" are easily solved.
Yar - har - fiddle-dee-dee, being a farmer is all right with me!
Do what you want 'cause a farmer is free, you are a farmer!
