I'd probably reluctantly live in Hawaii. If someone were paying me an unreasonable amount of money to do so. Distance seems to temper the worst of the bullshit.
Also if I get to displace some American jag off that moved there. They don’t get to trade with me and come here, but I get to kick them out and take their house.
By this time next year it will either be its own thing or part of another country, this place will be a Balkanized mess by then
trumps already trying to withold funding for 16 blue states. balkanization maybe sooner than expected.
Finally someone talking sense, really depressing sense, but sense nonetheless
It will be increasingly overrun by tech bros who are setting up compounds to hunker down through the worst of whatever the future holds.
If they can build their corpo-feudal city states they may not. We're all probably gonna have to fight eventually, may as well do it in paradise?
it will be like the future in 4400 show, where the affluent powerful live in a pristine city.
they also found out that they couldnt run thier little compounds efficiently, no waste removal system. just the other month i think BEZOs was complaining about human waste not be properly disposed from his compund/island.
LOL, what? Is Hawaii joining New Zealand or Japan or something?
No clue, but with the escalations towards the occupations of American cities they will have their hands full
its closer in culture to native NZ people, or any of the polynesian islands in the indian ocean or near australia.
What else would you do, reluctantly, for money?
See, Larry Ellison owns about 98% of the island of Lanai. He's got a bunker there.
Zuckerberg also owns property on Lanai, has a bunker there (a Lanai local told me), in addition to his ranch on Kauai.
Peter Thiel, probably similar. Musk, similar... Oprah, etc.
So we'll get you the GoFundMe money, but we have a mission for you...
Thiel tried to make his own "f-boy island" i think it kinda failed.
or alaska, but its probably better to be in mexico or canada.
