Our US government is dysfunctional. It is in a state of shutdown currently because of partisan politics. Politicians are not concerned with helping the people. Politicians are concerned with increasing their wealth and status, as well as their perception as people who should somehow be remembered as great or significant.
Our politicians have shown over and over again that they are not great scholars. They know, or care little about actual history. Every fact or event is extant only to somehow be manipulated to serve their personal agenda or otherwise be eradicated from public memory or perception.
Our politicians are either psychopaths, narcissists, sexual deviants who have been blackmailed, or just opportunists who parasitically thrive on creating drama or suffering in order to set themselves up as heroes who will alleviate the suffering that they have indeed instigated.
Most average people could take care of themselves without the help of some sort of 'nanny government' or media. We don't need to be told to put our coats on because it's cold outside. We don't need to be told to take an ineffective flu shot because it could mean millions of dollars in profit for the pharmaceutical industry who is in bed with congressional lobbyists who are sleeping with our government.
The US government, at one time in the past, granted ownership to land based on people's willingness to 'squat' on wilderness land that the government could benefit from by having people settle. Today that land is very valuable because of those settlers.
Now the mostly liberal government and media complex wants open borders because they think these simple immigrants will vote democratic, (at least they think so).
I say let the government shutdown be continual and permanent, let's all go back and live in the woods. Let's hunt and fish and grow our own organic vegetables. Let's take care of each other in small communities because we will truly care about each other.
Let's develop open-source, green technologies that make this possible.
Let's grow up and determine our own future.
