Don't discount your actions. You followed your own advice and moved.

I'm one of those lucky people living in a small-ish town that (for the most part) has ignored the Covidian insanity. Things are still pretty good around here. The economy has been BOOMING the past two years, despite (actually, as a result of) attempts to shame us for not locking down. As Ron Paul used to say, "freedom is popular" (not so popular as I would like, we now know, but for some people it obviously still matters), and we've had a huge influx of people fleeing from tyrannical cities and states. This presents the next issue. Are they coming to enjoy our quieter, freer, more self-reliant mindset, or coming to turn us into another shit-hole like the ones they've escaped? It's definitely creeping in, but there are some of us working to preserve our preferred way of life. Not that this is a new concern, but it's a relevant and significant part of the localism equation that presents its own challenges.

I’m in Georgia and my friends and I have seen a almost disappearance of certain things like chicken. What’s more scary my wife is a nurse and there is a blood shortage.
