My state is one of the biggest strongholds of leftism in the country (WA) yet they are also one of the most authoritarian when it comes to off-grid systems.

They make it illegal to catch rain in this state. Simply: fuck that. Nobody owns the rain. I'll catch it if I want to.

The State hates self-sustainability like they hate Bitcoin and crypto: because it gives individuals a choice to opt-out of their stupid control structure.

The State can go straight to hell.
