    That’s a very good point. I was picturing a society where this is common and accompanied by a reduced government role, which would require more community support for people who have greater need of it, but that’s not very realistic.

      I like where your heads at, minimizing bureaucracy and keeping government local. It’s an admirable goal, but it’s easy to forget that one of the intended purposes of bureaucracy at a basic level was to enforce fairness. We’ve strayed a lot from that, but the basic concept should be sound if we could figure out how to do it properly.
