- wat10000 4mo agoDo you take that attitude towards all other government services?
- mothballed 4mo agoYes, I went out of my way to live in a place with no public roads, no public utilites, no fire, and no police and in a house built with no government inspections. Whenever there is a way to avoid interacting with public services I do everything I can to avoid them.

- wat10000 4mo agoAt least you're consistent! But I do have to question your claim that "a large portion" of people are like this, or even that they just want to avoid SS and never mind the rest. That's an extremely niche position.
