Thinking about moving SOuth - anyone who can provide suggestions?

Posted on 10/15/2013 9:47:23 PM PDT by freedom462

So I am thinking of simply leaving the job I work at now and heading to a Southern state, Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Northern Florida, Tennessee, etc since I figure that, since I am one of those who does not have a reliable source of family aid of any kind, that this could be my only option.

I am considering finding a church that has a sort of communal living situation, a farm, ranch, factory or other such source that could use additional workers and join one of them. I am thinking of it in light of a situation where there is such severe disaster than there are no jobs in the schools, restaurants - presuming they'd be out of business since noone could eat out anymore, malls, universities, hospitals, not to mention no engineering jobs of any kind either, unless they required another degree (which in theory I would not get since all the schools would no longer have any money).

So I am thinking of places such as what I listed above as places to start a new life in preparation for the possibility that all other work options are simply gone because the crisis got so severe and as a way to ensure I can have a community I can survive with, since my only other option would be to try and survive as a homeless person at this point.

Does anyone on FR have a sort of church based or other type of communal living situation, a farm, ranch or non federal park that is looking for new members and/or can suggest ways I can find that type of place to work so that I have survival chance? I figure that most likely, noone would be able to help that much but knowing what I do about FR, I figured might as well ask just for the heck of it if nothing else since my options otherwise are highly limited.

But maybe Obama wants to default as much as possible and deliberately crash as much as possible so that he can try and unleash the wrath of his support base, from So Cal to Newark to Detroit, upon all of America. Looks like ti is gonna happen within 2 weeks.

My friend, I really hope my speculation about the disaster following a possible default is not encouraging you to uproot your life, especially if you’re working hard on a degree.

I am basing a lot of this on unknowable variables, and the possibility that Obama is far more sinister than we ever gave him credit for. I’m just a conservative hardliner, not an economist or an insider or anything like that

Moving around, especially with nothing set in stone before you leave, is tough right now. If SHTF, you have no choice, but right now, do not take any rash measures unless it is immediately beneficial to do so.

Chances are that they kick the can down the road on this whole debt ceiling thing.

Don’t worry, it is not you. Honestly, I sort of just sense it is coming within the next month at most, one way or the other. Like a sixth sense telling me it is time to prepare for losing everything.

Texas sucks. Its not only the place its the people and culture that are disingenuous and inauthentic masked as southern hospitality. You will not get past level 2 of deep relationships.


You’re right. It takes a certain personality to live in Texas.

Those without it can leave, and we say good riddance and lose no sleep over it.

He’s working on an assumption I speculated about in which Obama refused to pay the debts and defaulted instead in preparation for some kind of Soros operation.

You’re right, it is unlikely Obama is that evil.

I have been thinking about that, the only think is, doesn’t that lead to potential for serious trouble? How does it work if you are talking an expat situation? Do expats to the Asia Pacific region secure jobs before they move or do they move first and then find jobs available after the move? And how do they tell what jobs will be available for someone with their level of education and skills?

i see many on this site have also been brainwashed by the media

it seems people on here actually think there is a crisis

i can guarantee you all the media does is lie and cry the sky is falling . for 2 years they cried about an Ice age. then for the next 30 years it was global warming
now it's fiscal cliff, sequester , gov shut down, and now default

all imaginary hobgoblins , i assure you

Man, I am sorry you are feeling so depressed about America. Totally understandable, but God is with you always.

Don’t worry about the future. If things get really bad, you can commit some crime and get sent to prison where you will have basic food and a roof over your head. I would check out the states that have the best prisons and move there.

Part of the problem is that when it comes to my case, I am not sure God is with me. I am one of those people who is considered disordered, so to speak, and I sometimes I am not sure if God is with those kind of people or if He is content to let them waste away and go to hell in Darwinian fashion.

It would be very hard to beat central to east Tennessee.
Do not consider anything west of the Tennessee River.

I would agree completely, but there is that nagging doubt every time I look at that debt clock, every time I see that f*cking usurping commie smile during a speech with a little twinkle in his eyes, or read those Jarrett memos with sinister overtones.

Is there a greater plan at work here? George Soros is pulling the strings whatever.

“I am just talking about looking for a real chance of survival here.”

Try not to listen to Alex Jones too much. After a while, you start imagining Obama is stalking you, UN blue helmet soldiers are preparing to raid your home and you start buying Alex Jones’ survival kits and food storage equipment. One thing I love about Free Republic is that conspiracy theories get kicked to the curb. Some people exploit paranoia to earn a buck. Learn not to be one of those victims. I have a nervous personality too, but I cured it by moving to China. In China, if you’re paranoid, you won’t last one week in this country. It’s like curing your fear of snakes by touching a snake.

I hear you.

But, you can’t just join a survival community. Those communities are made up of people who trust each other. I don’t belong to one, but I know people I trust who could create one.

Do you see what I mean?

Go somewhere. Make friends, and do not discount God. Why should He abandon you? Do you think, that He makes an imperfect being and expects them to be perfect? NO! He just expects them to honestly strive for it.

Okay, you need to get re-acquainted with the Bible. God’s love for the meek and suffering is boundless.

“Because I live, you too shall live!”
