What can we do?


Within the last year, things have been more and more questionable. The US government and our awareness of the law enforcement 
that is supposed to Serve and protect us has been enlightening to say the least. The abuse of our elders, minorities, and 
even the disturbing assaults of our younger generations. I know that alot of people have been looking more to the possiilities 
of safety plans. Most of us that want our safety net or safety zone don't know where to begin, Should you buy a huge tract of land, 
should that land have a house already on it that is conected to the grid, Should I start and build up stockpiles of food and water 
first? Where should I begin? Myself I have more confidence in the older RVs from 1970-1989, Remember Hurricane Katrina and 
all of the FEMA trailers? Knowing what went on with those trailers, The extended occupation of those temporary homes revealed a 
lot of disturbing things about the production and quality standards of those structures that were built in the 1990s the strength,
quality, and even over extended time and use things like formaldehyde from cheaper mass production in the treatment of the 
wood in those trailers were making people sick and hospitalizing a lot of the occupants. 

It seems to me that the quality standards
have slipped in lieu of speed and lower costs in the production and the company's profits were placed in front of the care in the 
long term life of the product which are only built in the growing mindsets of being disposable in the mindset and the companies want 
it to get older, begin to fail in design of it to hopefully trap the consumer to eventually have to replace it after only a few years 
and hopefully sell the same low quality to you over and over again in turn making the company millions off of selling you a polished turd. 


Also, things like computer managed parts and components trapping you into spending hundreds or thousands of dollars in parts that can
very quickly and easily cripple the functionality of major and important systems in the trailer or RV. Most of us do not have the kind 
of money to dump into these lower quality money pits that the companies design their products to squeeze from us. the days of long standing 
quality are gone and the old corporate mind set of "Who can build a better mousetrap" are gone and have given way to 'Who can build 
the cheapest mousetrap the fastest" all while trying to trap you into buying it over and over again. The days of quality and 
longevity are over and were forgotten by the 1990s and we will never again see the quality and pride in the consumer product that was 
a staple in the production industry before the '90s. The disturbing mindset of "it's old and not worth fixing" when most people don't 
realize or remember that things were made in less complicated construction because in those days people were more driven to not 
only take better care of their possessions but also were known to repair their own products and things were designed with that 
in mind during the initial production. Now the big industries are trying to brainwash us into buying the newest products only adding
one or two flashy "new" additions.
