Title: How Much Time Do We Have Left?

More of a question to provoke discussion than anything else. I am increasingly of the opinion that the Republic is done for and that we are facing an economic, social, cultural and political devastation (and maybe health devastation) that even WE - the knowledgeable and cynical - can probably barely imagine. I don't think this is preventable any longer.

I'm at the point of wondering how long we have before we reach collapse and what the bottom will be. How should we prepare for this? I have limited resources myself and am wondering what I should be focusing on and how I can prepare my less aware family and friends. I know they think I'm kind of crazy - maybe very crazy, but on the other hand - they know I'm usually right as well. There's something to be said for being willing to think and consider the unthinkable.

Personally, I've been amazed that they've kept it together as long as they have, but this year strikes me as being the year that things go from seeming normal to becoming rather uncomfortable. If I'm right, then next year will be "the reckoning" year. One thing that I've noticed is that all of the people that I know are either unemployed or barely employed, and I'm not talking about stupid and incapable people, I'm talking about good solid people with solid skills and track records, and they can't get decent jobs of any kind.

I'm about to throw in the towel myself. My wife has an application in with the state of Washington for a job that she is very qualified for. If she gets it, we stick around a while longer, if not then we're going to move out of the country. As of now I simply have no hope whatsoever of things ever getting better here in the US.

As of now our plan is to relocate to Canada first, and use that as a "staging area". If we can get something going there, then great. If not, then we're going to do some traveling in South America. Chile and Argentina look rather interesting, and there are other countries as well. Argentina had a major fiscal crisis over the last few years, and now looks like it is pulling out of it. I'd rather be in a country that has the worst behind it than be in a country that has the worst ahead of it...

I'm a dual Canadian/US citizen. My parents have a place in the boonies of Ontario, and that countryside is in my blood, but I wonder how much Canada would be affected by whatever happens to the US. The whole world will be affected, but our largest trading partner seems likely to be greatly affected. Of all the countries I've read about, Chile seems like the most promising. Beautiful scenery, not densely populated, strong property rights, a commodity based economy, and the corruption is the lowest of any SA country (way lower than Argentina). All of SA seems to be swinging to the left, which is a concern. I'm not sure yet how deep this swing is for Chile. I'm guessing you've seen the Escape From America website?

Agreed, I find Chile highly interesting, and will most likely end up visiting there within the next year or so. Yes, I'm familiar with the "Escape" website. I'll want to go there for a while and see things first hand before I make any major decisions, but I sure do find that country interesting.

Be sure to tell us about it if you go. I'd love to get down there, but my wife is due with our second in a few weeks, so it won't be happening anytime too soon.

Roger on that. In fact, I'll post regularly while I'm traveling about.
