It only makes sense that, no matter how old the post, value should be retained somehow, without the need to re-post again and again. I think Steemit needs a better interface to see older posts, just like

Great reply @dan5! However I think it best to await return of the One who alone can right all these wrongs, set the record straight, and banish all the liars, deceivers and their supporters. Until then,

Not so much rigid as stubbornly independent...something no government program/bureaucrat likes or won't try to quash. Also, due to actions of same, this definitely has never been an option for us.

News media has lost all credibility when it shills for one political candidate over another and refuses to report the facts, no matter how controversial or true.

We tried to obtain a reverse mortgage, which is now mandated by the state constitution, but found that 1) Both my wife and I had to be over 62 years of age (my wife has another half year to go to qualify),

Actually property taxes go to pay for schools, hospitals, roads and the like. We home schooled, took care of our health to avoid hospitals entirely, and it should be the commercial traffic that pays for

Excellent video explanation. It's basically value for value. Those who put more into this platform (generating interest, followers, comments, etc.) will get more out of it, in the form of financial rewards,

Thanks, @pinkyh60 and @steemitpatina, for the compliments and votes of confidence.

Many thanks for your generous offer @steemitpatina! I'm reading a book right now on this very subject and carefully considering this as one of my best options, at least as a short-term solution. I'm willing

We drink spring water (used to have our own well before losing our home), because nearly all city tap water these days contains two really toxic chemicals (fluoride and chlorine), the first of which attacks

How sadly and frighteningly true! (See my first reply above for some examples.)

There are indeed laws in place to prevent this, but are there still people in the legal system willing to apply or enforce them? When judges/prosecutors are considered "above the law" tyranny

In fact criminal law has already changed, for the worse, in small rural communities across America with little or no oversight from the higher courts, which tend to rubber-stamp unconstitutional offenses

That's okay, until you try to use them as a substitute currency...which is why crypto-currencies are a good medium of exchange, until governments inevitably figure a way to worm their way into a

Sadly all too true!

@aldoclark: Kudos! Not just our money, but our property and liberty as well.

It isn't the free market (whether it's called capitalism or laissez faire) that's the problem...it's when what should be a limited government serving its constituents interferes through coercion and fraud,

It has been difficult, but educational (we're never too old to learn). For some reason I cannot reply directly to @pharesim's response below, but the supposed "solution" of taking a home simply

We had much the same situation with the first home we ever owned, moving before it could be sold, the proceeds of which finally helped pay for a new roof, drilling a needed new water well (over $7,000),

It is important, I think, to understand what one should or should not be an anarchist against. Being in anarchy against what is right in "the state" is just as wrong as being for anarchy when
