Forbes Says Self-Reliant Homesteaders Are “Delusional” and “Mooching” Off “Civil Society”
It’s always interesting reading when someone smug and sanctimonious writes a clueless diatribe about another group of people being smug and sanctimonious. So when I saw that an economist for Moody’s and Forbes had written an op-ed calling self-reliant homesteaders “delusional,” I knew I’d be in for some misinformed hilarity.
The article, entitled, “Dear Homesteaders, Self-Reliance Is a Delusion” was published a couple of days ago on the Forbes website.

Thank you!

Interesting, however it can clearly be seen that you copy/pasted the introduction from the blogging website before linking it. Are you Daisy Luther, the author of this article and owner of http://www.theorganicprepper.ca/? If not, even though you gave credit to her for the article by linking it, you cannot copy her words directly and insinuate you wrote them as an introduction.
We can't all be wrong about this can we?! Maybe we just spend what we can afford rather than spending just to spend. Good post . Thanks 🐓🐓
Thank you! It really is that simple but most people are addicted to buying anything and everything they can.
