If You Leave the U.S. Permanently, Where Should You Go?
Daily Reckoning ^ | 12/09/11 | Gary Gibson

You see, people are fed up. Not just with economic conditions. But with the political ones. We suspect that that frustration is tinged with fear. We know it is in our case.

The state is growing outright despotic…tyrannical. You have congressmen who make no bones about telling us that we should all be subject to arrest and detention by the military. This at a time when the definition of “terrorism” is expanding to include any activity that annoys the political class.

The government has been in the business of prohibiting personal behaviors, regulating

professional ones and eating out our substance since the beginning. It’s all only gotten worse over time.

But now the state is showing its true face. And it’s so horrible that many of us feel compelled to flee for our lives.

“Biden won’t be and Trump will be so it’s all moot.”

I like your optimism.

That is a good question. Has the government already made that difficult? I haven’t really given this any serious thought. I put it out there to see what others are thinking.

Isle of Man. British protectorate located in the Irish Sea. Self governing, not a member of the EU, no corporate tax, no wealth tax, no inheritance tax. Maximum income tax rate is 20%. Fairly liberal gun laws for a European country.

Yikes. That is something to consider. The US is not the beacon of law and order it once was, but other countries are probably worse.

It’s a tough choice.

But your family can always join you.

I have close fam. in Italy, Germany, and Ireland.

But do not know if they’d like to have an elderly Grandma/Cousin/aunt drop in on them.

Maybe if I brought enough money with.

What’s the climate in Belize?

I hate very hot places.

THIS S A VERY GOOD POINT-——the definition of “terrorism” keeps expanding to include any activity that annoys the political class.

This should preface all our remarks so that the political class is reminded they are part of the problem.......
and a significant reason why citizens feel compelled to storm the Congress.

I’ve heard that the area that Belize lies is potentially a good area to flee to.

I am not leaving it to the enemy!

I'm with you. There is nowhere else to go. We draw the line here, here and no further.

There is no way I am going to runaway and leave my country to a bunch of lying, cheating, metro-sexual, woke social justice warriors, cancel culture freaks, fruit loop frauds, cooperate Marxist, fascist thugs, racist thugs, media putas, and virtue signaling tranies. Did I leave anyone out? Ho yes I forgot the soy boys.

If they want it they are going to have to come and take it. The game is not over, the stolen election was just the coin toss the actual game starts now.

No way could I ever live south of the US border. I don’t care what the cost of “living” is down there.

I’m not leaving the USA. I can’t say what I’d like to say but I imagine Travis McGee would understand me.

I APOLOGIZE PINING..

It’s your family and your business.

Me, I’m gonna live and die on Staten Island.

With a few hundred thousand other wops :)

But my lash out was wrong and again, since apologies.

As long as everyone is comfortable with what they decide, that’s all that should matter.

buona notte

You won’t need to go anywhere. Just sit tight.
