Are you wondering how we ended up in this situation with the Coronavirus (supposed) pandemic? People are struggling, our economy is in freefall, and people feel it is hopeless. What if I was to tell you, we the people are the solution to the problem.

In this episode, I will discuss the difference between a consumer-based economy, which we are in today, and a production-based economy, which is the solution to our long-term financial stability. In our consumer nation, we are literally, and willingly giving up our personal rights, freedom, and ability to thrive even when things go wrong. In short, we are doing this to ourselves, and the solution isn’t found in big government or big industry; it is found in our communities and us. 

In addition, people have been asking if I’m back at my off-grid house and what I have been up to, so I will be giving a short update.
