I'm just concerned about the best survival moves to make. Yes you can keep
constructing tools for folks to retain free speech and monetary freedom,
but where are the most ideal places to live? If you aren't in a community
that values freedom, then the efforts towards maintaining freedom are
always fragmented and diluted due to taxes fueling the same officials that
suppress freedom.
