A common theme on the podcast is that the government doesn't care about you. Although that's true as far as your well-being goes, it doesn't quite capture that the state cares very much about destroying your independence, and by proxy, your ability to resist its growing tyranny. The last quarter century has brought this into clear focus. As the unelected, career regime apparatchiks desperately cling to power, they are becoming increasingly threatening and combative toward the people they are supposed to be serving, us. Taken as a whole, their actions over the past few years seem to be anticipating massive civil unrest as We the People finally say "enough is enough." We hope we are wrong about this one, but it never hurts to anticipate and prepare yourself accordingly. Don't say we didn't warn you.
