It's dumb to be prepared?

The left wants to reduce us to scratching a subsistence living on a piece of dirt with a stick. Cave man style.
Over the centuries we have learned how to be more productive, but it is dependent on trading and transportation. The quality of life has improved because of it.
It is NOT a bad thing to be as independent as possible, within reasonable limits.
The solution is to expose and overthrow the leftist scum and get on with our lives. We don't presently seem to be doing a very good job of that. Although our friends here are after them daily.
I admit I have increased my fruit trees, berry bushes and garden size over past 3 years. I admit I have increase my reloading capacity and amount of components on hand too. (am still doing that)
I already live in rural America and like it.
Until about a year ago, I was more focused on taking care of sick elderly relatives than anything else. Still doing some of that, but all that is left now is my father and my aunt.
I meant no disrespect for you or your attitudes. I am a solitary bee type myself, not a hive bee.
