    These people are starting to make my heart ache a little. They seem so desperate and undereducated. Life must feel very frightening for them.

      Honestly I assure you they are some of the nastiest people you’ll ever know. They call their children their biological property.

      Nah. They’re just trying to rip common folk off wherever possible. Taxes, bills, child support, insurance, etc. then counter it by trying to charge others for ludicrous reasons. They’re scammers that try to evade law that doesn’t suit them and enforce law that does.

      Others have pointed out reasons to be unsympathetic to these folks but IMO that doesn’t mean that they can’t still be victims of the charlatans making them but into this crap. They sell this illusion for those grasping for help.

          Whoever told you that didn’t know what they were talking about. Maybe you can’t make a cheater out of an honest man, but they can be cheated like any dishonest man can.

    Still shocking to me that these people try to get ‘off the grid’ without even considering literally disconnecting from the grid as an option

        You can run a pump in a well easy enough off solar and batteries but you could probably pay municipal water bill for most of your life and it would still be cheaper then that option.

    Could have a big trash can out back full of rain water. Bird bath by day, drinking water by night.
