Preparedness, Pandemic, Big Government and Individual Agency

Send us Fan MailAs the developed world emerges from the pandemic restrictions, there is a movement afoot to adopt many of the "temporary" programs invoked during COVID-19 to help citizens manage the crisis, as permanent fixtures.  Not necessarily the benefits related legislation, but the framework legislative authority, government management and the new tools adopted in order to best serve the public.  This is a primary example of governments not removing additional authors granted in times of distress - think of the Patriot Act after 9/11, the ongoing structural and expansionary deficits in all governments and the new laws on governing Internet content and online monitoring.  As a preparedness community, we understand that we are responsible for our outcomes and our individual responsibility is far more reliable than government action.  Hence, we tip the scales in our favour by trusting our agency - that individual freedom to do what we want, pursue the goals we wish and reach our dreams - all within the structure of a society organized with a government responsible for making rules and adjudicating those through the judiciary.  Period.  Join us for a discussion on where the limits of government should be and where we trust our individual agency to succeed.  Support the showhttps://preparednesslabs.ca/
