The iron law of prohibition: the harder the enforcement, the harder the drugs. America has major problems, but they cannot be solved with more state violence. We need economic stability and dynamic grassroots communities for both social stability and mutual aid. Instead, we have government bureaucracies offering counterfeits of charity and service, totalitarian enforcement of bad laws, and crippling economic policies hampering both trade abroad and investment at home. The solution will not come from D.C. or state capitols.
No it will not. Do you see any hope in the community there currently?
There was a local food bank in town, but service was sporadic. A private charitable organization was developed with weekly community dinners and a more accessible food bank, school supply collections, and more, all run by volunteers. The focus on community as a foundation, with funding through donations, has accomplished a lot with very little. It works.
