You would think this sounds implausible given how many americans are already vulnerable and only surviving with help but this really is a country run by and for the dumbest people alive.

Totally normal for it to be both! Looking forward to terminal capitalism imploding but very much not looking forward to the Churn.

Upsetting the neoliberals isn't, on it's own, proof that you're doing great work. However, it is a necessary condition for any great work.

Easy call for Canada. Collapsing slower than the UK, getting more habitable as the anthropocene ramps up, way easier to acquire a defensive rifle. Worst case you deal with an american occupation for a bit before the famines start.

Enough land to grow staples and feed for small livestock seems like the move for anyone planning for say, 2050. It doesn't need to be a 150 acre ranch in rural montana, there's 15 acre farms that are suburb-ish and let you split the difference.

Delivering hard-won life lessons free of charge only to watch folks jump with both feet straight onto the rake anyway doesn't have much charm to it.
