In a land mass of roughly 4000x2000 miles, I’m sure you can find a nice corner to hole up in with your pals. “Going Galt” isn’t that hard once you decide to. You can disassociate from most of the system here with little effort. Going elsewhere won’t improve things much freedom-wise; few countries don’t consider outright socialism the accepted norm.
Appreciate your post.
If Baraq wins in Nov, the topic of “bolt or revolt” will be a serious one here on FR.
Talk to any Canadian and they’ll tell you there’s not much small government up there.
The split of the C-CRAP Conservatives from the Tories was necessary, but it gave Liberals a free hand for over a decade to build the government (which was already bigger than ours) as BIG as they wanted.
PM Harper is a very smart guy who is doing a fine job, but it’s gonna take decades to undo all that.
If one where going to flee, Canada would be a wise choice.
The thing is that the global collapse is coming no matter what and the last thing you want to be is a stranger in a strange land When it happens. Being a minority would make that worse by many times over.
Me personally, I’m an American and they’ll have to kill me where I stand because I’m not going anywhere.
what a bunch of drivel..
the canadians come over here in droves to buy stuff, not because of the currency exchange rates, but because of the significant tax savings in buy here and taking it home..
they come over in motor homes, with huge trailers, and large trucks and just fill ‘em up...
try to drive through port huron on a weekend, and count the number of american versus canadian license plates..
they have one of the highest tax rates in the world...
This doesn't mean we’re at near-term risk of becoming another Argentina or Zimbabwe
10%? We borrow 40% of what we spend today.
We are more likely to end up like Japan, 20 years of economic stagnation and loss of standard of living.
Not to mention the dramatic loss of freedom for us and our children.
sschu
One strong possibility I’m following is somewhere in the Caribbean.
As Obamacare clamps down, the best and brightest of the medical profession will head offshore, and set up medical clinic/spas for the US upper class who can afford to pay for their own care and want something better than the govt offers.
What about Singapore?
I’m hoping that conservative talk radio has plans to move overseas and continue to broadcast via short wave as if there is a second Obama term all free speech will be banned.
Singapore would be great if you don’t mind being the first to die when the global collapse hits. Those who are different will be the first targets of the angry mobs.
I ain’t “fleeing” anywhere!
Canada and/or the free states bordering Canada (New Hampshire, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota) would make good bases from which to “bolt AND revolt.” Texas, Arizona and the gulf states, too. What we need is a state whose governor and legislature tell the feds to stop violating the constitution, and confronts it. Texas is the only one that can lead such a movement.
Singapore is a very prosperous market-based economy, but there is very little actual “freedom” there. A virtual dictatorship with Michael Bloomberg-style nanny rules writ large.
There is nowhere else to go.
USA was the last best hope.
Certainly a possibility, but a long ways away from the US.
I'm sure if Baraq wins in Nov, we'll spend a lot of time here on FR with discussion and fact finding.
Where do you ship all of them?
lol
