I'm guessing somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere is safer because the Trade Winds will blow the radiation around the Northern after the next nuclear war.

I would be doing everything possible to get into Australia, New Zealand or Canada if this comes down to HRH and Trumpolini. Jesus Christ in combat boots.

because this is the end game, the plutocrats all jostling for the top of an increasingly shaky dung heap and the peasantry, having had enough, ready to set fire to it underneath them.

And at the same time we are, as a species, rushing to embrace and enable planetary catastrophe.

The old Chinese curse - may you live in interesting times - is headed our way unless Bernie makes it to the WH. I have a genuine low-level fear that any repub or HRH could wind up starting WW III.

done to erase this massive worldwide government debt.

We will suffer so the only way to pull it off without upheaval is for a great war.

Was on the internet the other night checking into expat possibilities. Canary Islands, Portugal, Mexico, Guatemala, Thailand, Belize and several others. There are some lovely possibilities on earth!

and those are just the smart, fit, socially adjusted best of us (presumably.) They are going about narrowing the potential emigrants down to 8 or so.

And that doesn't even count the 78,000 who want to live in the corporate utopian version, the Mars Colony Project. WTF.

So get in line.
