When this is seen as even slightly okay?

And the article is bullshit because the obvious extrapolation is that if HE can live like this and save, then ANYONE can do it. Old people, young people - all of them.

Which is insane because those groups are so much more at risk in severe weather as well as food borne illnesses - it could be catastrophic, even deadly.
