No you are right and there could very well be terrible civil unrest ‘Sarayevo style’ in some areas of the USA. My problem is with those that paint with a broad brush and apply no nuance at all in a country the size of a continent and with 333 million population. There will be a lot of variation.
I’m counting on that (variation). My main goal, in as much as anybody cares what I think, is to encourage folks who can to move away from the blue hive megacities. I want folks to consider where their water comes from, and how long it’s likely to flow if their is civil disorder upstream.
Now is the time that folks can move to the areas more likely to pull through. That’s my goal here, not just to spread doom and gloom.
