Civilization has never had a worse freerider problem: Almost everybody believe someone else should protect their freedom and provide them with security. Time to wake up the lions.
Discussion
Not in rural America. Sense of local community and common defense maybe but still relatively self reliant compared to much of the world
Self reliant in principle, but often times farmers and ranchers play crop insurance games and look for government handouts.
Turtles all the way down.
In some way i see that being a part of nature. We as community cannot expect from everyone to focus on BTC etc. i see that is our responsibility as community to take care of a lot of people freedom and encourage them to focus on sharing their gifts for the world. I see that a healthy global kingdom. Shoe maker should focus that everyone walks with healthy shoes. Every time shoe maker would focus on safety or economy or something else shoe maker is not being shoe maker anymore. Hope that makes sense in some way and i am getting out that it makes the point.
I fundamentally disagree - worst excuse I've ever heard. No shoemaker works 24/7. Everyone must contribute, otherwise we may lose everything
