Answer:
deal with bureaucracies
Explanation:
According to the activists, living "off the grid" means having living in places where one does not have to depend upon or buy water and electricity from the utility companies which provides electricity and water to the people.
But unfortunately, there is not much land left where one can afford such living standards where it is feasible to do so. Thus nearly most of the Americans have to buy water and electricity from the companies and have to deal with the bureaucracies in order to purchase those utilities.
