The government has been shot down for a year now-Imagine?

After a year people have given up on any kind of help, assistance and protection. A small part of the government is still functioning: law enforcement, certain government backed health care operations like the VA hospitals. The rest is up the people to figure out. For the first six months there was a sense of despair, fear, disappoint and hopelessness. In the last three-months people attitude’s has changed from desperation to talking matters into their own hands. A shift is taking place from the population being victims to people starting to become self-reliant. You are starting to see people working with local governments, their schools making sure classes can continue. There is lots of chaos around the country some jails are rioting and the economy is gone into a recession. Thousands of government employees are out on the street. Lots of bad stuff is happening but underneath it all there is something very palpable taking place. People are staring to realize that they cannot count on governments and politicians but they can start to relay on themselves, friends and neighbors. All kinds of Entrepreneurship is breaking out all over the country. There is an incredible sense of rawness and aliveness in the air. People are starting to wake up from the prior catatonic state of dependency. Something extraordinary is happening even with this quasi-urban war-taking place in the background. I wonder if a major transformation is happening, maybe this is beginning of the second coming of the United States.
