      You should plan for the possibility that last part won’t be true for long. If these thieves in power stick around, they will drain every piece of money they can back into their own hands.

          I’m left of left and I don’t expect there to be a USA in 20 years, let alone when we’re 70.

          It’s math. Each new generation funds the previous one. If people are living longer and the birthrates are declining there wont be enough funds to replenish whats being taken out.

          If we end up getting SS then great, but expecting it is not smart financial planning

      You may want to give yourselves an escape route before then. Things are likely to get dangerous before midterms. Once 2027 rolls around you may not be able to leave. At least, not legally and with all your stuff.

      I really cannot imagine the Republicans losing power at this point. Not without an ammount of violence that cascades part of the power grid. People have been shouting coup for a year. Even if the dems won there’s AIPAC problem and Vance and Thiel waiting to get their dark enlightenment.

      So yeah, run while you can. This is The Fall of Rome
