Americans have grown accustomed to a nanny state

Don’t be one of the “sheeple.”
Personal responsibility is your civic duty
Today lets look at how a renaissance of self sufficiency benefits the community.
The borrower is slave to the lender. Emancipate yourself from the slavery of debt. Build up an emergency fund. Quit living from paycheck to paycheck . Whether you lose your job or the economy has a downturn , you won’t have to make panic decisions or sell yourself to lenders or burden the welfare system.
Build a surplus of the things you need to live.
The systems that put food on the shelves of America have evolved into ” just in time” strategies that eliminate large inventories and warehouses. Interruptions in these systems at any level take days if not weeks to restore to the status quo. The people that are not prepared in advance, further the problem by hoarding supplies after the crisis strikes . The more prepared the people are the less impact a local or regional crisis has and the less government intervention is needed.
Start a garden.
Even if you live in an apartment start to grow something. Even if it is just one or two plants in containers. This small step will change the way you look at the food you eat. It will give you confidence in yourself that you can provide food for yourself. Growing food is one of the most powerful tools to liberate yourself from the system. If you grow enough to help your neighbors you make yourself an invaluable part of your community .
Learn to cook from scratch.
Cooking is a survival skill that is slowly becoming a lost art. To maintain consistency chain restaurants have sparked an era of” heat and eat” food. Our busy lifestyles have filled our grocery stores with “fatigue food .” When you are just to tired to cook it is convenient, but it is expensive and less nutritious. During hard times you will find that you can stretch a dollar much further if you know how to cook. It will make you much more independent .
These are just a few examples of how one can take personal responsibility for their life. As you make these changes, share your journey with your friends and family.
