“I’d look toward Chile or New Zealand.”
I bothered to Google this. Found that the top four in listed order are Sungapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand, US. However, each has their individual problems to consider, won’t go through theme here as I’m too lazy. But, having been to each of the top three and have had business associates in each as well, the US still comes out on top all things considered. But, having said that, we (US) are on a downward spiral no doubt about it. So, my alternative to the US is this; at some point Texas along with some like minded states should declare a semi-autonomous relationship with the great US, somewhat akin to what Quebec has with Canada. Then, as time and events evolve, further restructuring can be considered. I know, some will say lets secede, screw’em. This will ever happen and wouldn’t be to Texas’ advantage even if it could be pulled off. Okie dokie, comments welcome :)
