That is, indeed, the short term. I will be required to stay relatively close to a blue zone in a very red state, for work purposes. But, given the need to escape, I have a friend who will welcome me in the more rural regions.

Yeah, you don’t want to be around when Hurricane Rwanda smashes into Superstorm Bosnia.

We, the elders, will suffer most from Bammy and Co. The young are being co-opted daily, with promises of Unicorns and free phones. The biggest threat to elders are the massive printing presses, making the dollar begin to swirl.

They started their goal with the "crazy money" SSI's and accelerated with their QE's. The US Treasury owes the US Treasury??? China isn't the biggest threat or problem, BUT, they could be part of a solution.

I have posted many pics from the Zimbabwe spiral, and that is where we are going.

Sell all you can sell, move to a fertile ground, and go Galt. Truckers could park their rigs, or just take care of local needs. Lower income and begin 'taking' in every way possible. Set up tax free's and let them expense the needs of the "community", while no longer "feeding the beast". You can't tax what you can't see!

Personally, I am planning to move to the Philippines after Christmas. I have begun divesting hard assets and will be happy to fish and play for the rest of my life. I have skills to offer, if needed, and can contribute in any community.

Laz, thanks for your thoughts. Once again, you have nailed our collective consciousness (and conscience!!!)!
