Could We Fix A Small City?

 I've long had ideas for small communities- ones that would hopeful grow to a small city size.  One of them is that teenagers benefit greatly by farming- not just the daily chores, but learning the planning necessary to plant, harvest, and produce a usable product.

This fits right in with another little project small communities should have- food stores.  Communities can't be completely self-sufficient, but as we can see right now as various supply chain issues empty store shelves, it is nice to have some local supply on hand when things happen.

So, I figured a small community would want enough calories (protein, fat, carbs, alcohol) on hand to get through some amount of time- five years is what the commies like to plan for.  Meanwhile, there are various products- especially wine and cheese- that tend to increase in value from 'ageing'.  These sort of products are good to look at for this kind of project, because remember- we are not trying for pure self-sufficiency.  We are trying to be resilient, so we want a store of food we can eat, but if we don't need to eat them, and they turn into high value products we can sell- great.

This morning, for the first time, I started to wonder if this idea could be grafted into an existing city.  Surely more and more people are worrying about the empty grocery shelves.   Additionally, more and more institutions that we usually depend are making absolute fools of themselves, so to whatever extent we can stop funding them we should.

There usually are some local farms and producers around, and they could ramp up to some extent.  More can be encouraged.  The expenses and infrastructure to make the final products, as well as the storage, could be shared and centralized.  

We would, of course, have to figure out how not to be derailed by the woke.  

One possible way of dealing with this is to take advantage of the fact that the people the woke don't like generally tend to plan ahead themselves- thus they may not need whatever is reserved for them during times of distress.  But should they not need it, they should be credited with the value of the finished, 'aged' products.  

The entire leftist project depends on these various supply chains that they are destroying.  They can't really help it, since the bureaucratic class has this cancerous tendency to refuse any restraint to their growth.  As the supply chains shut down, their ability to screw things up will begin to wane, much like tumors start to weaken if they lose access to the blood supply.  They will then want to flail around and find your blood supply, but the chances are high that we can fend them off at that point.   

It would be nice to reach the point where we can just put criminals and people who advocate for criminality via false moralizations in jail, and we may get there if we can introduce some sort of order that people would come to find important and perhaps vital to their life.
