We may have been devastated by nuclear war, knocked back to the stone age by an EMP attack or ruined by central bankers who thought they knew what they were doing.
I suspect the US will be "balkanized" (the fragmentation of a state into smaller regions that are hostile or non-cooperative with each other) into no less than 5 regions. The only choice remaining to us will be which region we will go to live in.
The last prediction could very well be a reality.
Yeah, this is what I see, too. Hope I can get my family to one of the good zones after all comes apart.
