But we'll be self sufficient when we have naff all to run!
Independent self sufficiency is the only answer I see. We need to keep and improve rights for that.

The sad thing about that is that it is trust that enables freedom. When we trust that if we send money off to Amazon, they will send us our goods back, that affords a lot of freedom. When you can make a verbal agreement between parties and there is trust on both sides, that is freedom.
Trust is what free societies is built on.

I disagree. It's built on the threat of violence. That's how it started. If you don't pay, there's consequences. People forget but it's the reality.
