As an elder I am so thrilled that my family is going to take me in and care for me. I have things to impart to my children and grandchildren especially about, health, food and growing vegetables as I grew up on a farm. I plan to contribute to their welfare, taking over some simple tasks like dehydrating food. The government is going broke caring for the elderly in institutions. I am not rich but hope to leave them all some money and I hope we can survive what is coming together.

I wanted to submit a question for the next Q&A but cannot find the correct avenue so I'll submit it here:

If power only becomes centralized as a function of government, in a complete anarcho-capitalist society, how would one prevent large corporations from monopolizing the military and creating a pseudo-government?
