What are you doing to increase your self reliance and self sufficiency?
Jack Spirko’s definitions:
- Self Sufficiency – The percentage of your needs met by your own systems
- Self Reliance – The duration in time you can live well without systems of support (or to live well with YOUR systems of support)
Let’s face it – the 2024 election is not going to go well. The side that loses is not going to accept the results. There will be civil unrest. Plus WW3 conditions are looming.
