Maybe we can recolonize what's left of Europe before I am due to retire again? Comments?

Too Late, Unless you want to convert to Islam forget about Europe. The only place becoming more and more capitalist is Russia so hopefully you like the cold weather. Then again maybe by retirement there will be colonies on the Moon and Mars we can flee to.

No, it's gotta be Europe. Colonizing the Moon and Mars would require more work and effort than America seems able to put out, these days, or we'd already have it done. Blast it! I should have been able to go to the moon before I retired the first time, 6 years ago. I don't think I want to go bad enough to get Chinese citizenship.

Maybe some more legal immigrants will take over where native Americans have failed, give us some of that "hybrid vigor" we seem to be missing. I sure hope so. Having all our eggs in one basket scares me.
