So true buddy we are 100% improved without the gov. We have evolved and the system is straining to hold us back. Shame they have all the guns... Man that is fucking awful how they treated you. They love leaving you guys in the mire, when a natural disaster hits. Sounds like you already have the community around you and they just spoil it. But we both know that. Mad world my friend and lets hope steemit clears a path :)
