Email down, flights grounded, power outage, you name it.

We have become so reliant on the government that we could be the next Venezuela and none of us would have any clue how to fix it.

Our crony system is so damn corrupt that even if we decided to dump trillions into infrastructure, half of it would be stolen or spent on $500 staplers.

After seeing Katrina, it was shocking how quickly civilization falls apart.

Our infrastructure is woefully underfunded, but no one in government seems to care.

Last time I visited Gatlinburg, it felt like I was in a third world country with all the Indians around. We may already be there.

3 missed meals away from anarchy at any given moment.

When you see the average gas station checkout customer in Louisiana, are you REALLY surprised that shite falls apart quickly?

Society was right on the line that week in March 2020.

Fighting over toilet paper and so many people on edge

Just a small hiccup in the supply chain and it’s over quickly

In what way do you rely on the government in your daily life?

If they would stay tf outta my paycheck, I think I would be free from any and all contact with the government in my day to day life.

All I need is the government to get out of my way. Imagine if they said “we can’t do it anymore” the amount of rules that would disappear? Yeah some things would be tough but it wouldn’t take long to get everything you need back on the shelves

Turns out Texas was the lynch pin holding it all together.

Way to go Texas.

The country is vast and probably not enough money out there to keep up everything everywhere. But in the places with money, priorities are generally out of whack and everyone wants their cut for their dumb project instead.

Like healthcare for illegals.
