Well i will stay here in the Philippines where people live simply.In the mountains where natures near me and the air is fresh.
Wyoming so far now and so different here...
If the meltdown happens soon then I'll stay right where I am. My home is alright and I'm in a small city with everything I need. I don't see any reason to move if things start melting.
Just like in the Great Depression, there were some parts of the country that did better than others. The South and the Midwest suffered terribly during that period of time, while the Far West came through it considerably better.
This time around, comparatively speaking, I think the South will probably do reasonably well, what with a diversified economy, relatively low taxes and real estate prices, a large energy sector, a strong regional banking system, and relative (I mean relative) stability in employment and growth.
Your opinions? Assuming we don't suffer through wholesale societal collapse, of course.
The Midwest will remain stable as well, we haven't seen any (or much) job loss here yet, sounds just like how you described the south. I think the West and the North East will be the hardest hit.
Wherever I can roam the urban wastelands and highways in my custom-modified sports car, looking for petrol to keep the engine burning, or driving the 18-wheeler tanker full of sand to get the mohawk punks to chase me.
