There are certainly people who claim that overunity devices are easy to build, and probably many are scams. Busting a scam is not the same as busting a concept
t takes substantial bravery to change your way of life; the people who would actually try to develop overunity are in the marginal minority, and there are plenty of stories about those types of people being bought off, threatened or silenced.
Testing overunity through mathematics and computer models assumes that our current understanding of physics is complete, which we all know is not true. The only way to test overunity is in an actual experiment.
Our economic model strives for ponzi-esque expansion, not sustainability. Thus a durable, long-lasting product is contrary to the interests of our entire economic model (and especially contrary to the interests of a handful of powerful individuals).

There are certainly people who claim that overunity devices are easy to build, and probably many are scams. Busting a scam is not the same as busting a concept, and the claims of a scam do not represent all overunity arguments.
2) Since overunity devices are easy to build, the average Joe should have built it by now
Even if overunity was easy to build, people do not necessarily take advantage of things that could make their lives better. In my experience the average Joe (myself included) is afraid of significant change, even if it has great potential. It takes substantial bravery to change your way of life; the people who would actually try to develop overunity are in the marginal minority, and there are plenty of stories about those types of people being bought off, threatened or silenced.
3) Overunity can be explained by our current model of physics
Testing overunity through mathematics and computer models assumes that our current understanding of physics is complete, which we all know is not true. The only way to test overunity is in an actual experiment.
4) If overunity existed, investors would be eager to invest in overunity devices
If overunity is demonstrated, investors could make a decent profit from selling the devices, but it would be a one-time sale (unless they break frequently). A large number of one-time sales are nice, but recurring profits are better. The energy industry, which is a huge chunk of the economy, has already secured recurring profits. Why change to a one-time sale?

Fine then. To answer your questions,
Why aren't the believers building over-unity devices and going off the grid? Because:
- it costs thousands of dollars
- it requires engineers, equipment, and a lab or house to build and test in
- it's hard, and there's no guarantee of success
- no one else wants to help
etc

The plans on the internet are not likely to be the real deal. It's called disinformation - it's there to mislead folks in to believing they don't work most likely.
How do we build one then?

So either that statement is wrong or our laws of Physics are wrong.

People more grounded in the sciences might say:" The universe and all its physical laws is/was and always will be".

Funny I thought they all believed in the "Big Bang" Theory.
Its all guesses by a group of people with letters after their names, (and who have been wrong on countless occasions) but to my mind there must have been a time before anything existed.

"hypothesis": a best guess or theory to be attacked by adversarial aggressive experimentation. Pass enough verifiable experimentation and a simple" hypothesis" firms up into a valid theory. Which could be proven wrong anytime with the introduction of new information. Its the best we humans can do with some kind of verifiable,peer reviewed process to expand our knowledge..
"Before there was something, there was nothing"
IMHO "big bang" would be considered part of the natural "universe".and whatever primordial ("nothingness") it sprang from...nobody knows what to call the proto-"universe" before matter coalesced out.
if I remember, our last "altercation
